FORD RANGER SUPER DUTY REVEALED

RANGER SUPER DUTY UNVEILED IN THREE CAB STYLES AND WITH MORE DETAILS TO COME AHEAD OF 2026 LAUNCH

- 

FORD Australia has pulled the wraps off its 2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty 4x4 ute. The Ranger SD is promising huge capacities including a 4500kg GVM, 4500kg towing capacity and 8000kg GCM. That's big news for business and private owners that need a hard-working ute with increased capacity and don't want to mess with aftermarket GVM upgrades and other modifications.

Industries like mining, forestry, fire and rescue, and others have stated to Ford that they want a vehicle from the OEM with all the capacities in place from the manufacturer and no third parties involved.

Ford is aiming straight at the LandCruiser 79 Series with the Ranger Super Duty as it will fill the space that is currently dominated by the venerable Toyota workhorse, but users have said that they don't want to mess with aftermarket modifications and capacity upgrades as they've had to do with the 79 to make it fit for purpose.

To a lesser extent, the Ranger SD would take the place of the Mercedes G-Wagen Professional, which is used by some organisations as well as the ADF.

The increased capacities should also appeal to recreational four-wheel drivers, especially those who tow heavy trailers and need the added GVM and GCM capacity but don't want a bigger vehicle The Ranger Super Duty promises to be fit for purpose straight off the showroom floor and this is the first time that the Super Duty name has been applied to anything but a Ford F-Truck.
