Ford reveals pricing and specs for latest Ranger

May 27, 2026

Ford has announced pricing and specs for its updated MY26.50 Ranger, with the changes headlined by a new entry-level engine and limited edition trim level options. Starting at $37,130 before on roads, XL Double Cab Pick-Up kicks things off.

From there, it stretches all the way to $90,690 for the off-road and performance-focused Raptor. The updated lineup features no fewer than 15 distinct engine-and-trim options. The most drastic change is the introduction of a new 2.0-litre single-turbo four-cylinder diesel.

Replacing both the single and twin-turbo four-pots of before, the new engine most notably features a conventional timing chain in place of the controversial wet timing belt setup, and an updated fuel injection system to improve economy.

It delivers 125kW and 405Nm, with peak torque available from 1750-2500rpm. It also comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission that is now standard across the entire Ranger lineup. The 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 diesel still carries over unchanged.

With 184kW and 600Nm on tap, its joined by the retained 2.3-litre turbo-petrol plug-in hybrid in PHEV models, and the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol in the Raptor. It’s worth noting that both the 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre diesel engines are capable of running on renewable diesel.

Vehicles running on HVO fuel are already in use by Melbourne Airport Corporation, as Ford Australia noted at the launch. Visually, the Ranger remains fairly similar to before, although dark exterior finishes have been chosen to replace chrome.

New wheel designs have been added to certain grades. Inside, all variants are now fitted with the larger 12.0-inch SYNC infotainment system, replacing the 10.1-inch unit previously fitted to lower model grades.

All variants including the XL now come standard with front and rear parking sensors, while XLT and above feature a new Trailer Connection Alarm. The Black Edition, offered with both engine options, represents a value-packed proposition in the range.

It blends darker exterior trim and all-terrain tyres with a simpler interior featuring cloth seats and a polyurethane steering wheel. The off-road-focused Tremor has also returned for a limited time, exclusively powered by the V6 engine.

It comes alongside another limited-run variant – the Wolftrak, which is set off by Zest Green highlights and an interior with dark green trim and leather accents. The Ranger PHEV lineup, due to arrive from August 2026 onwards, also sees some changes.

The work-ready XL model now replaces the XLT that previously kicked off the lineup, while the Sport and Wildtrak grades remain alongside it. All PHEV models come standard with a 12.4-inch instrument cluster, only available otherwise on the Platinum and Raptor.

The Sport grade now also receives a 360-degree camera and Pro Trailer Backup Assist as standard. Several drive-away offers are also available throughout the MY26.50 Ranger lineup including on the XL 4×2, Black Edition, Wolftrak, and all PHEV models.

Ford is also offering buyers a $4000 fuel card with select MY26.50 variants, along with a $5000 fuel card for buyers of select MY26.00 variants. The Ranger is currently the best-selling new vehicle in Australia and the updated lineup is available now.
