Ford has locked in heavy-duty prices for the 2025 Ford Ranger Super Duty, a heavy-duty variant of its best selling dual-cab ute.
Prices start from $82,990 plus onroad costs for the Single Cab-Chassis variant, with the Super Cab-Chassis priced at $86,490, and the Double Cab-Chassis at $89,990 plus on-roads.
Those figures will climb close to $100,000 once you add a tray and metallic paint.
It's also one of the most capable Rangers, with a 4500kg Gross Vehicle Mass, a braked towing capacity of 4500kg, and a massive 8000kg Gross Combined Mass when towing.
Despite the truck-like specs, this beast can be driven on a standard car license.
Payload varies from 1982kg for Single-Cab Chassis, 1896kg for Super Cab-Chassis and 1825kg for the Double Cab-Chassis.
Ford Australia President and chief executive Andrew Birkic said customers have been asking for a truck that can handle Australia's tough terrain and most extreme jobs.
'With its incredible towing, payload, and GCM capabilities, Ranger Super Duty is built to exceed those expectations. We're providing hardworking Australians the tools they need to succeed,' he said.
Re-worked from the ground up, the Super Duty is a re-engineered chassis with upgraded axles, reinforced suspension, control arms, and a heavy-duty braking system.
A 10-speed auto transmission is paired with Ford's 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, carried over from the Ranger models, but with a new calibration to meet European heavy-duty emissions standards and the addition of AdBlue. Power is less than the V6 Ranger at 154kW (the V6 Ranger has 184kW), while torque is on par at 600Nm.
Ford says the reduced power figure stems from the need to comply with stringent heavy-duty truck emissions standards, and that other V6 odels will not be detuned.
Despite the lower power output, the Super Duty just outmuscles the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, whose V8 diesel makes just 151kW/500Nm and has a maximum towing capacity of 3500kg.
The Ram 1500 is more powerful but offers less in terms of payload capacity (830kg-879kg pending model).
Its ground clearance (299mm), track (1710mm) and water wading (850mm) is on par with rivals.
However, Ford has added smart technology, unlike anything seen in current competitors.
For instance, its Smart Hitch system which measures tow ball weight to optimise load distribution, reduces sway risk, while on-board digital scales help ensure payloads stay safe.
The exterior design is tough with a stamped 'Super Duty' badge, a redesigned grille resembling floating brick pattern, geometric flared guards, heavy-duty steel bumpers and 33-inch General Gabber all-terrains with 8-stud wheels.
That rugged feeling continues inside, with vinyl-trimmed interiors designed for durability, a dock for laptops or screens, and a practical layout for workers.
Three Ford Licensed Accessory tray options are available - galvanised, matte black and body-coloured steel, ranging from $5,966 to $9,376 depending on configuration and finish.
Body-coloured tray prices will vary depending on the paint colour.
The price will climb when you select paint colour, all colours aside from Arctic White are considered prestige paint colours and will be available at an additional cost.
New exterior colours include Seismic Tan, Shadow Black and Aluminium Metallic.
A favourite, Traction Green, will be available later in 2026.
