Ranger Super Duty Gains Pick-Up And XLT Refinement
2026 ranger super duty pick up xlt traction green towing
Ford Australia is expanding the Ranger Super Duty range with a Pick-Up body style and a new XLT premium series for the MY26.5 update, due mid-2026. The Pick-Up adds a factory-fitted tub without surrendering the headline numbers that matter: 4500 kg towing capacity, 4500 kg GVM and an 8000 kg GCM. Manufacturer’s List Prices start from $93,990.
Pick-Up Body Style: Workhorse Meets Weekend Warrior
For the first time the Super Duty will be offered as a Pick-Up, giving buyers the brute strength of the cab-chassis variants with the practicality of a factory tub. It keeps the core heavy-duty credentials intact: 4500 kg GVM, 8000 kg GCM and a 4500 kg braked towing capacity, underpinned by 154 kW at 3250 rpm and 600 Nm at 1750 rpm. The Pick-Up also adopts the widened 1710 mm track and an 850 mm water-wading capability, so it should be perfectly at home hauling a work trailer one week and ferrying camping gear the next.
XLT Adds Touring-Focused Refinement
The XLT grade is aimed at buyers who want rugged capability with a touch of civility for long-distance travel. Available on Double Cab Cab-Chassis and Double Cab Pick-Up variants, XLT brings Super Duty branded 18-inch 8-stud alloy wheels, leather-accented heated and ventilated front seats, leather-accented rear seats, carpet flooring and front all-weather mats. It is pitched squarely at recreational off-roaders and touring drivers who expect comfort without compromising payload and towing.
Pricing And Line-Up Details
The three new MY26.5 offerings are priced as follows: Double Cab Pick-Up from $93,990, Double Cab Cab-Chassis XLT from $95,990 and Double Cab Pick-Up XLT from $99,990. Existing Single Cab Cab-Chassis, Super Cab Cab-Chassis and Double Cab Cab-Chassis prices remain unchanged. More detailed weights and dimensions, including payload and ground clearance figures, will be provided closer to arrival.
New Colour And Factory Options
A new exterior colour called Traction Green joins the palette as an optional Prestige Paint choice, available across the range for $750. Ford is also offering a selection of factory-fitted options to enhance the Pick-Up’s versatility, including an 8.9-inch digital rear view mirror, an Aeroklas twin in-bed drawer system and both commercial and stylish canopy choices with Lift & Slide or Dual Lift side configurations.
Additional factory options and indicative prices include prestige paint for $750, carpet flooring for $1,500, rock sliders for $1,850, a dual battery system for $1,850 and wheel nut indicators for $150. A digital rear view mirror and the Aeroklas twin in-bed drawer system are each offered at $1,250 when ordered with a canopy. Stylish canopies are listed around $4,500 to $4,700 depending on specification, with commercial canopy options similarly available. Availability of certain options varies by body style and will be confirmed closer to launch.
Order books for the MY26.5 Ranger Super Duty are open now, with vehicles expected to arrive in Australia in mid-2026.
