2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty: A Mid-Size Pickup That Plays in the Big Leagues
The 2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty represents a bold new chapter for Ford’s popular midsize truck lineup — engineered for drivers who need serious capability without the size and cost of a full-size Super Duty. Originally launched in Australia, this rugged pickup combines the agility and maneuverability of a Ranger with the strength and utility typically found in larger work trucks.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood sits a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine, designed to deliver strong low-end torque — ideal for towing, hauling, and tackling rough terrain. This engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth shifts and optimum performance across varied driving conditions.
Ford has also equipped the Ranger Super Duty with performance-boosting features such as locking front and rear differentials, aggressive all-terrain tires, and a large 130-liter fuel tank — giving it excellent range for long workdays or overland expeditions.
Capability That Punches Above Its Class
What really sets the 2026 Ranger Super Duty apart is its heavy-duty credentials. With towing capacity and gross vehicle mass (GVM) tailored for demanding jobs, this truck fills a niche between standard midsize pickups and full-size heavy-duty models.
Versatile Cab Configurations
Ford offers a range of cab styles to fit different needs:
-
Single Cab – Traditional two-door setup with a spacious load bed
-
Super Cab – Adds rear-hinged doors and additional space for occasional passengers
-
Double Cab – Four doors and a comfortable cabin for crew or family
-
Dual Cab – Enhanced interior space and features for those seeking comfort and utility
These configurations ensure buyers — whether tradespeople, adventurers, or fleets — can choose the layout that best suits their lifestyle and workload.
Standout Features for Work and Play
The Ranger Super Duty is packed with practical tech and capability enhancements that make it more than just a stronger Ranger:
-
On-Board Scales – Helps estimate payload weight in real time
-
Front and Rear Locking Differentials – Improves traction on slippery or uneven surfaces
-
Smart Hitch System – Optimizes trailer balance and reduces sway
-
High-Capacity Fuel Tank – Extends range for remote jobs or long journey days
