- Ford's new Trail package gives the Select eAWD raised suspension and hardware borrowed from the Rally.
- Extended-range batteries become standard across the 2027 range, with usable capacities varying by model.
- The Trail is expected in America early next year, with no New Zealand announcement yet.
Ford's new Mustang Mach-E Trail pairs a small suspension lift with onboard power outlets for camping equipment. It arrives alongside a battery change across the 2027 range: extended-range batteries become standard.
The factory package is based on the Select eAWD, with equipment aimed at the journey to a trailhead, campsite or lake. Ford expects the Trail to reach American customers in the first quarter of 2027, following the opening of orders on 22 October. A New Zealand launch has not been announced.
A little extra height
Trail-specific springs and passive struts lift the front by 10mm and the rear by 15mm compared with Select and Premium models. Ford also borrows the Rally's steering rack, dark 19-inch wheels and Michelin CrossClimate2 tyres.
A black lower front fascia changes the exterior, while an embroidered Trail logo appears on the centre armrest. The roof crossbars and interior protection equipment pictured with the vehicle are optional accessories.
The campsite provision is Ford's 400W Pro Power Onboard system, with outlets in the cargo area and rear centre console. The American vehicle shown has 120V sockets, a specification specific to that market.
Bigger batteries across the range
For 2027, Select and Premium models have 88kWh of usable battery capacity, while GT and Rally versions have 91kWh. Ford has not yet announced final EPA range figures, so the battery capacities do not come with a confirmed driving-distance claim.
There is also a new front motor, which Ford says reduces cost while maintaining performance. Ford has not disclosed a new power output for the Trail package.
