Ford Sets MY26.5 Ranger and Everest for Australia With Wider V6, New Wolftrak and Published Pricing

Orders open in December with deliveries due mid‑2026, signaling a strategic engine and trim reset to sharpen competitiveness.

Overview

  • Ford confirms Australian MY26.5 timing with orders opening in December 2025 and showroom arrivals expected mid‑2026, publishing Ranger prices from AU$37,130 to AU$90,690 and listing the new Wolftrak at AU$70,990.
  • The 2.0‑litre bi‑turbo diesel is discontinued, a revised 2.0 single‑turbo with a 10‑speed auto becomes the base engine, and the 3.0‑litre turbo‑diesel V6 is offered far more widely, including on the entry‑level Ranger XL.
  • Ranger gains a Wolftrak special and a now‑permanent Black Edition, darkened exterior accents across key grades, a standard 12‑inch touchscreen for XL, a DAT bar on cab/chassis variants, and Wildtrak upgrades such as matrix LED headlights and a 10‑speaker B&O audio system.
  • Everest introduces a new Active entry grade, swaps in the 2.0 single‑turbo as standard on Active and Sport with the V6 optional, makes the V6 standard on Tremor and Platinum, and sets pricing from AU$58,990 for Active.
  • Ford’s heavy‑duty Ranger Super Duty, rated to tow 4500kg, begins first customer deliveries in December and is positioned against Toyota’s LandCruiser 70/79 Series, according to Ford Australia.
