Ford Ranger Super Duty launches in Australia

Ford is officially in triple digits. As the blue oval celebrates 100 years of innovation, manufacturing, and mateship in Australia, it’s not just looking back. It’s charging forward with the reveal of its toughest Ranger yet: the all-new Ford Ranger Super Duty.

Born tough, built for more

The Ford Ranger Super Duty is a heavy-duty workhorse engineered for those who don’t shy away from hard work. Packing a 4500kg Gross Vehicle Mass, 4500kg braked towing, and an 8000kg Gross Combined Mass, this mid-size pickup redefines what’s possible straight from the factory floor.

Drawing from the brute DNA of the F-Series Super Duty, the Ranger Super Duty is built for fleets, tradies, and off-road tourers alike. It’s loaded with heavy-duty axles, a reinforced chassis, front and rear locking differentials, eight-stud wheels, and bash plates. These features make it tough enough to tackle mine sites and mud bogs without breaking a sweat.

Inside, it’s a clever operator – with driver assist tech, Pro-Trailer Backup Assist™, Smart Hitch, Onboard Scales, and an optional Integrated Device Mounting System.

Want to slap on a canopy or service body? Go for it. Ford has engineered this rig to be upfitter-ready. So whether you’re laying pipe or hitting the High Country, this Super Duty is ready to go to work or play.

Looks as tough as it works

Design-wise, the Ford Ranger Super Duty doesn’t mess around. With its 33-inch all-terrain tyres, wider track, taller stance, and squared-off pumped guards, it has the visual brawn to match its mechanical muscle. A factory snorkel (developed with Safari) adds to the practicality, along with a beefy steel bumper and improved approach and departure angles.

Inside, the Super Duty branding continues across the glovebox. It is joined by a 12-inch infotainment screen, overhead auxiliary switches, and taller wing mirrors tested to withstand years of door slams in scorching Aussie conditions.

Available in Single Cab, Super Cab, and Double Cab Chassis variants, and with an XLT trim arriving mid-2026, the Super Duty is aimed squarely at Aussies who need serious load-hauling, trailer-towing, and off-road capability and don’t want to stuff around with aftermarket mods.

100 years of going further

This mighty reveal comes just as Ford Australia celebrates its 100th birthday. The brand hosted a special “History in the Making” centenary event on April 4, showcasing icons like the 1960 XK Falcon, the legendary 1934 Coupe-Utility (a true Aussie invention), and modern heroes like the Mustang Mach-E, Ranger PHEV, and Ford Everest.

The celebration continues online, too, with the Ford Heritage Vault – an interactive digital archive of more than 2,300 brochures and images from Ford’s Australian past. From the rugged Overniter Falcon ute to luxury sedans and race-bred legends, it’s a nostalgic deep dive for car lovers of all ages.

As Ford celebrates a century on Aussie soil, the Ranger Super Duty is proof that the brand’s legacy is anything but stuck in the past.
