Ranger Super Duty pricing revealed

Ford has provided projected South African pricing for the incoming Ranger Super Duty ahead of its planned 2027 launch.

According to The Citizen, the range is expected to start at about R1.1 million for the single chassis cab and rise to roughly R1.3 million for the double cab.

The double cab would therefore be priced close to the Ranger Raptor.

However, Ford has stressed that these figures are preliminary. Final specifications, confirmed pricing and the exact launch date are expected to be announced in the new year.

Multiple body styles planned

The Ranger Super Duty will be introduced through a phased rollout.

The South African range is expected to include single chassis cab, Super Chassis Cab, double chassis cab and double cab configurations.

Unlike locally assembled Ranger models, the Super Duty will be imported from Thailand.

Its 4 500kg gross vehicle mass means drivers will require a Code 10 licence to operate it.

Ford developed the work-focused model largely in Australia, making it the first Ranger to carry the Super Duty badge previously associated with the larger F-Series.

Built for demanding work

The Super Duty receives a reinforced frame, stronger driveshafts and a heavy-duty rear axle.

It also features locking front and rear differentials, eight-stud wheel hubs and additional steel protection beneath key mechanical components.

Exterior upgrades include a steel bumper, wider mirrors, flared wheel arches and 33-inch all-terrain tyres.

A 130-litre diesel tank, 299mm of claimed ground clearance and an 850mm wading depth further strengthen its work and off-road credentials.

Standard towing capacity is listed at 3 500kg, increasing to 4 500kg with an optional upgraded tow bar.

Detuned V6 provides power

The South African model is expected to use Ford’s 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel engine.

It will reportedly produce 154kW and 600Nm, paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring upgraded cooling.

Inside, the cabin largely resembles the Ranger XLT.

Super Duty badging and a load-scale display integrated into the 12-inch SYNC 4A infotainment screen are among the key differences.

Ford says the model is intended for customers requiring serious towing, carrying and off-road ability, but final local equipment details remain unconfirmed.
