Overview
- Ford drops the 2.0L bi‑turbo diesel, introduces a revised single‑turbo 2.0L (125 kW/405 Nm) with a 10‑speed automatic, and expands the 3.0L turbo‑diesel V6 (184 kW/600 Nm) across more grades, including Ranger XL and Everest Active as an option.
- Published pricing places the MY26.5 Ranger from AU$37,130 to AU$90,690 and the Everest from AU$58,990 to AU$83,490 before on‑road costs.
- Ranger lineup changes include a permanent Black Edition, a new Wolftrak special, and the deletion of Sport, with darkened exterior accents and new wheels on key trims.
- Everest introduces a new entry Active grade replacing Ambiente/Trend, adds a standard 12‑inch infotainment screen and leather‑accented trim, remains 4WD‑only, and keeps 3500 kg braked towing across the range.
- More driver‑assist tech moves downrange, with a DAT bar adding blind‑spot monitoring, reverse brake assist, a digital reverse camera and sensors to XL/XLT cab‑chassis; fuel economy and CO2 for the updated 2.0L are still to be confirmed.
