Ford has officially lifted the lid on pricing and specs for the 2026 Ranger Super Duty and it’s looking like the new benchmark for serious payload, towing, and off-road grunt in the mid-size ute market.
Launching with a cab-chassis-only lineup across Single, Super, and Double Cab variants, the Ranger Super Duty kicks off at $82,990 (MLP), and it’s not mucking around. With a 4,500kg towing capacity, GCM of 8,000kg, and payloads nudging two tonnes, this factory-built hauler is targeting anyone who’s ever thought a dual cab ute might need a bit more muscle.
And if you’re wondering, yes, it’s still powered by the same 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel we know and love. But here, it’s running a bespoke calibration to meet heavy-duty emissions standards while retaining the full 600Nm of torque. So you’re getting stump-pulling grunt from just 1,750rpm, paired with an upgraded cooling system that’s 25% more efficient than standard Rangers. This thing’s built to work, and to keep working when it’s stinking hot and fully loaded.
Numbers That Matter
Towing: 4,500kg (braked)
GCM: 8,000kg
Payload: Up to 1,982kg
GVM: 4,500kg
Power/Torque: 154kW @ 3,250rpm / 600Nm @ 1,750rpm
Water Wading: 850mm
Ground Clearance: Up to 299mm
Track Width: 1,710mm (across the range)
Off-Road, On-Point
The Ranger Super Duty is specced for big loads and for rough country too. With diff locks front and rear, upgraded axles, a sealed snorkel, and a higher ride height (up to 299mm of clearance), Ford has clearly leaned on its Raptor and Tremor knowledge. It’s even got on-board scales and an integrated device mount as standard, ticking a few touring boxes out of the gate.
Water crossings? No drama – 850mm wading depth gets the nod from Ford. Just don’t send it through the river crossing like it’s a Baja special.
Cab Options and Pricing
| Variant | Price (MLP) |
| Single Cab-Chassis | $82,990 |
| Super Cab-Chassis | $86,490 |
| Double Cab-Chassis | $89,990 |
Trays aren’t included in the price, but Ford’s offering three factory-backed options: Galvanised Silver, Body Colour, and Matte Black, ranging from just under $6K to just over $9K depending on cab style and finish.
Colours and Trays
You’ve got six colours to choose from at launch, including a new exclusive ‘Seismic Tan’, plus the usual suspects like Shadow Black, Arctic White, and Aluminium Metallic. Traction Green will join the range in 2026 when the Dual-Cab Pickup and XLT variants land.
Want a tray on it from day dot? You’re looking at:
- Galvanised Steel Tray: $5,966–$7,121
- Body Colour Tray: $7,176–$8,826
- Matte Black Tray: $8,166–$9,376
Painted trays cost more depending on the colour you pick.
What’s Next?
The cab-chassis variants will hit dealers in early 2026, with the full range, including pickup versions and the XLT to follow later in the year. Ford’s also promising a full suite of personalisation accessories to match.
Given how fast the Wildtrak X and Raptor variants disappear from showrooms, expect these to be snapped up quickly by anyone looking for a turnkey heavy-duty rig straight off the lot.
