Ford has announced plans to expand its Ranger Super Duty line-up by mid-2026, adding a double cab pick-up variant and an XLT model. This expansion aims to cater to the growing demand for heavy-duty work trucks in Australia.
Key Takeaways
- Ford will introduce a new double cab pick-up variant priced at $93,990 and an XLT model starting from $95,990.
- The Ranger Super Duty’s towing capacity is rated up to 4500kg, with a GVM of 4500kg and GCM of 8000kg.
- A new ‘Traction Green’ paint option will be available across the entire Ranger Super Duty range.
The expanded line-up includes existing single cab-chassis ($82,990), super cab-chassis ($86,490), and double cab-chassis ($89,990) variants. The new additions will offer enhanced features such as leather upholstery, electric front seat adjustment, heated and ventilated seats, carpet flooring, all-weather floor mats, and unique eight-stud 18-inch alloy wheels.
Compared to the standard Ranger Super Duty, the XLT model adds significant comfort features at a premium of $6000. The upgraded suspension, larger fuel tank, reinforced chassis, and additional underbody protection ensure durability for heavy-duty applications.
The 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine powers all variants, delivering 154kW of power and 600Nm of torque. This engine outperforms the Ranger XLT V6’s ratings by offering a higher towing capacity (up to 4500kg vs. 3500kg), GVM (4500kg vs. 3280kg), and GCM (8000kg vs. 6400kg).
Competitors like Toyota’s HiLux and Isuzu’s D-Max will face increased competition as Ford aims to capture a larger share of the mid-size work truck market with its expanded Ranger Super Duty line-up.
