The Super Duty was designed for professionals, offering improved cargo-carrying, towing, and off-road capabilities
Big trucks rarely do subtlety, and Ford’s new Ranger Super Duty leans fully into that idea with a mix of muscle, utility, and accessories aimed at people who need more than just a weekday runabout. The latest member of the Ranger family has now been detailed for Australia, complete with pricing and specifications.
Sitting just above the Raptor in price, it’s positioned as the toughest tool in Ford’s midsize pickup arsenal, but one that we won’t get here in North America.

The 2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty was unveiled in April, but we now have access to its full specs ahead of the first deliveries that are scheduled for late 2026. The new version of the popular truck is distinguished by a unique grille and hood design, off-road bumpers, a snorkel, and a set of chunky 33-inch all-terrain tires.
Powertrain with a Purpose
Under the hood lies a reworked 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel producing 207 hp (154 kW / 209 PS) and (443 lb-ft) of torque. It has been reworked to meet the stricter emission regulations, which explains why it has 40 hp (30 kW / 41 PS) less compared to the Ranger Platinum. A 10-speed automatic gearbox sends power to all four wheels via a full-time 4WD system, aided by standard front and rear differential locks.
The Ranger Super Duty rides on a reinforced chassis allowing it to tow up to 4,500 kg (9,921 pounds), matching the bigger Ford F-150. Payload capacity has also been increased up to 1,982 kg (4,370 pounds). The truck is currently available in Single Cab, Super Cab, and Double Cab configurations with different tray sizes and a common length of 5,470 mm (215.4 inches).
Optional Packages
Ford Australia is keen to underline that the Super Duty isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. To that end, it comes with three themed accessory bundles, each designed to suit different tasks, plus a long list of standalone add-ons.
All three packages include a heavy-duty steel tray, a side-mounted 25-lt water tank, a lockable toolbox, and all-weather floor mats. The Work Pack adds an integrated device mounting system and an instrument panel top console mount that can come in handy in work sites, alongside yellow wheel nut indicators.
The Farm Pack adds the ARB Summit Bull Bar for extra protection and a more purposeful look. Finally, the Adventure Pack combines the same bull bar with a high-capacity Warn winch and ARB Rock Sliders for off-road adventures. Buyers who prefer to customize can also pick and choose from the accessories list, which includes a rear ladder rack, door moldings, decal sets, scuff plates, dash cams, and a dual battery system with charger.

Later in 2026, an XLT trim will join the lineup with alloy wheels, touring-oriented upgrades, and more premium detailing aimed at long-distance use.
So How Much Does It Costs?
Pricing for the 2026 Ranger Super Duty in Australia starts at AU$82,990 (US$55,200) for the Single Cab and AU$89,990 (US$59,700) for the Double Cab, both before on-road costs. The accessory bundles are far from pocket change, with the Work Pack listed at AU$10,479 (US$6,900), the Farm Pack at AU$14,629 (US$9,700), and the Adventure Pack at AU$20,161 (US$13,300). All three will rise in price after March 2026.
Ford’s configurator shows how quickly the numbers climb. A Single Cab Super Duty ends up at AU$97,680 (US$65,000), about AU$432 (US$290) more than a Ranger Raptor. Opt for a Double Cab with the Adventure Pack and a few extras, and you’re staring at closer to AU$133,000 (US$74,800).
The first examples of the Ranger Super Duty will reach Australian dealers in late 2026. Ford has no current plans to ship the Super Duty to North America or Europe.
