Which engine is used in the Ford Ranger Super Duty?

The Ford Ranger Super Duty is equipped with Ford's 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine which has been uniquely calibrated for its use in the Super Duty and to meet stringent EUVI heavy-duty vehicle emissions requirements. In the Super Duty, the powerplant will generate 154kW and 600Nm. Ford says the calibration will retain the engine's full torque output with peak torque generated at just 1750rpm.

The engine features an upgraded cooling system that is 25 per cent more efficient than existing Ranger systems which should support its performance while under increased load. To meet emission requirements, Ford has confirmed the Super Duty will require the use of AdBlue diesel additive.

How much will the Ford Ranger Super Duty tow?

The Ford Ranger Super Duty will offer a 4500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM), a 4500kg maximum braked towing capacity, and an 8000kg Gross Combined Mass.

The truck was developed with input from fleet operators who needed enhanced capability, durability, and productivity. The development process involved extensive durability testing, including a "mud-pack test" to simulate mine work and autonomous driving robot testing at Ford Australia's You Yangs Proving Ground. The Ranger Super Duty also underwent corrosion baths, towing dynos, shaker rig testing, and extreme real-world off-roading. 

Smarter towing features available on the Ford Ranger Super Duty include a recalibrated integrated trailer brake controller and Ford’s Pro-Trailer Backup Assist, which uses a yaw rate sensor for faster setup and operation and can remember settings for up to ten trailers. It also debuts Ford's Smart Hitch and Onboard Scales on a Ranger. Smart Hitch helps customers understand towball weight and load distribution, while Onboard Scales estimate payload as items are added to the vehicle.

Will the Ford Ranger Super Duty be good off-road?

While full dimensions for the Ranger Super Duty are yet to be revealed, Ford has confirmed that physical dimensions of the vehicle will give it increased ground clearance of up to 299mm on Cab-Chassis models, a wider track and what it claims is an exceptional water wading depth of 850mm (at a steady speed of 7km/h).

Drivers will be able to choose from six selectable drive modes, and access an advanced four-wheel drive system with 4A (Automatic 4WD), and front and rear locking differentials as standard. The two-speed transfer case and low-range gearset have been upgraded for enhanced durability in extreme terrain.

To ensure extended off-road range, a 130-litre long-range fuel tank is standard, protected by thick steel shielding. The underside is armoured with high-strength steel bash plates. The frame is unique, engineered for increased strength and load carrying capacity, with reinforced suspension mounts, box mount brackets, and tow bar mounts. Stronger front and rear driveshafts, a heavy-duty rear axle, and eight-stud wheel hubs with larger bolts enhance durability and load carrying capacity.

What's different about the Ford Ranger Super Duty's design?

The Ford Ranger Super Duty features a bold design with its "Ultimate Tough" design philosophy. It’s a supersized Ranger, boasting a taller stance, a wider track, and 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain light truck tyres.

The "SUPER DUTY" stamped hood and unique bonnet design with chamfered edges signals strength and capability. A heavy-duty, frame-mounted steel bumper provides enhanced protection to the radiator and headlights in off-road situations, while attachment points for driving lights and a front bash plate add to its functionality. Chunky guards, which are required due to its increased track and larger tyre size, further contribute to this Ranger's robust appearance.

Ford Design paired with Safari to develop Ranger Super Duty’s snorkel, which is uniquely designed to complement the muscular lines of the ute's front fender. The sealed installation raises the air intake height to roof level to deliver cooler and cleaner air to the engine.

Ford Ranger Super Duty launch models will be available in a choice of five colours - Seismic Tan, Arctic White, Shadow Black, Command Grey and Aluminium Metallic. Traction Green will be available later in 2026 to coincide with the arrival of Double-Cab Pickup and XLT models. All paint colours, with the exception of white, will be charged at additional cost.

What tray designs are available for Ford Ranger Super Duty Cab-Chassis models?

Three Ford licensed accessory steel trays will be available for Ranger Super Duty as dealer fit accessories. They will be available in galvanized silver, body colour and matte black with fitted prices ranging from $5966 to $9376 depending on variant.

What technology is included in the Ford Ranger Super Duty?

The Ford Ranger Super Duty features a 12-inch infotainment screen with auxiliary switches located in the overhead console. For those needing to use larger screens or devices, an optional Integrated Device Mounting system can be installed on the passenger side, supporting devices up to 4kg. This system is designed to clear the passenger airbag zone and reduce device vibration.
