Ford to expand Ranger Super Duty line-up by mid-2026

Ford has announced that the Ranger Super Duty, which will now arrive in Australia ahead of schedule before the end of 2025, will gain extra variants by mid 2026 in a bid to add further appeal in the serious mid-size work truck range.

In addition to the single cab, super cab and double cab-chassis variants already announced for the Ranger Super Duty, Ford will add a double cab pick-up variant ($93,990 plus on-road costs), as well as a higher-spec XLT model available in double cab-chassis and double cab pick-up forms.

Priced from $95,990 +ORC, the Ranger Super Duty XLT is $6000 more expensive than the regular Super Duty but adds more creature comforts, including leather upholstery, electric front seat adjustment, heated and ventilated front seats, carpet flooring, all-weather floor mats and unique eight-stud 18-inch alloy wheels painted in a unique ‘Magnetite’ finish.

A new ‘Traction Green’ paint colour will also be made available across the Ranger Super Duty line-up.

As a refresher, the Ford Ranger Super Duty was designed and engineered in Australia as a heavy duty variant of the Ranger ute. Thanks to its engineering enhancements, it’s rated to tow up to 4500kg, as well as having a 4500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM) and 8000kg gross combination mass (GCM) – big improvements on the Ranger XLT V6’s 3500kg, 3280kg and 6400kg respective ratings.

Changes to the Super Duty include eight-lug 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tyres, raised suspension, a larger 130-litre fuel tank, a strengthened chassis to cope with extra loads and additional underbody protection.

All Ranger Super Duty variants will be powered by the same 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine as the regular Ranger, making 154kW of power and 600Nm of torque.
