The new Ford Ranger Super Duty is coming in 2026 – and brings with it a good portion of utility. Developed for extreme requirements, it is aimed not only at tradesmen and businesspeople, but also at emergency services and fleet operators.
Although it is available in selected markets such as Australia will be available, a market launch in the USA is not planned.
Significantly more pulling power, more robust technology
The most striking feature of the new Ranger Super Duty is its massive pulling power of 4,5 tons – quite a bit more than the 3,5 tons that the standard model can lift. The chassis was reinforced for this purpose, and also otherwise Ford numerous components revised.
The ground clearance was increased, the track widened, the fenders are wider, and the whole thing stands on coarse-tread 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires – that's about 84 cm in diameter. Additionally, there's a redesigned hood with the "Super Duty" logo, a frame-mounted steel front bumper, a Front underrun protection and Mounting points for additional headlights.
The water flow was also taken into account: A standard snorkel ensures that the Ranger does not hold its breath even in deep water. Large exterior mirrors facilitate maneuvering with followers or at narrow construction site access points.
No surprises with the engine
Some had hoped that the Super Duty would replace the engine of the Ranger Raptor get, but Ford relies on the well-known 3,0 liter V6 turbodiesel, which has, however, been revised to meet stricter emissions standards.
Ford does not provide exact performance data, but you can expect a Torque of well over 600 Nm expected. The engine is coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, which should work smoothly even under load.
Designed for work and everyday life
The vehicle is offered in several variants: Single cab with chassis, super and double cab with chassis as well as normal double cabin.
Ford developed the model with the support of fleet managers, utility companies, and over 50 businesses – demonstrating that practical requirements were incorporated into the design. This makes the Super Duty suitable not only for construction sites, but also for fire departments, rescue services, and municipal companies.
Practical extras as standard
A 130-liter tank is part of the standard equipment, which is particularly helpful for long missions or remote locations. There is also Differential locks on front and rear axles, which significantly improves off-road capability.
A highlight: built-in scalesthat can estimate the current load weight on the platform – a clever aid against overloading or incorrect distribution.
