2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty Cab-Chassis: Pricing, payload and towing power revealed

Ford Australia has announced pricing for the Cab-Chassis variants of its hotly anticipated Ranger Super Duty, with the LC79 rival to be priced from $82,990 when it goes on sale early in 2026.

The entry-level Single Cab-Chassis will carry the $82,990 price tag, followed by the Super Cab-Chassis from $86,490, and the range-topping Double Cab-Chassis from $89,990. Pricing for the Pickup and XLT variants will be revealed closer to launch.

All listed prices are Manufacturer’s List Prices (MLP) and exclude the cost of a tray. Buyers will be able to choose from three steel tray options: galvanised silver, body colour, and matte black. Full tray pricing can be found below 👇

For comparison, Toyota’s LC79 Single Cab-Chassis line-up ranges from $76,800 (2.8L Workmate) to $85,000 (4.5L GXL), while the LC79 Double Cab-Chassis is priced between $77,300 and $87,600 depending on the variant.

“We know our customers want a truck that can handle the toughest jobs and most extreme adventures,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia. “With its incredible towing, payload, and GCM capabilities, Ranger Super Duty is built to exceed those expectations. We’re providing hard-working Australians the tools they need to succeed.”

Powering the Ranger Super Duty is Ford’s 3.0-litre V6 engine, which maintains its maximum torque of 600Nm at 1750rpm but now produces 154kW of power – down from 184kW. Ford attributes the drop to a unique engine calibration that meets Euro 6 heavy-duty emissions standards, including the use of AdBlue.

An upgraded cooling system said to be 25 per cent more efficient than the current set-up will be integral to ensuring overall performance and pulling power remains strong. And it needs to be, as a key pillar of the Ranger Super Duty will be its ability to carry heavy equipment and tow cumbersome loads.

To this end, the Ranger Super Duty Cab-Chassis will not disappoint (based on the numbers). A Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 4500kg, a maximum braked towing capacity of 4500kg and a Gross Combined Mass (GCM) of 8000kg is complemented by astounding payload figures: Up to 1982kg (Single); up to 1896kg (Super); and up to 1825kg (Double). Front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings are 1900kg and 2800kg respectively.

The Ranger Super Duty Cab-Chassis will also have a ground clearance just shy of 300mm, a track width of 1710mm and a generous maximum wading depth of 850mm. 

“The Ranger Super Duty project was about pushing the boundaries of what a mid-size truck can achieve,” said Drew O’Shannassy, Program Supervisor for Ranger Super Duty. 

“We focused relentlessly on core capability – increasing GVM, GAWR, and towing capacity – while ensuring the truck remains incredibly durable and easy to operate in challenging environments. The unique calibration of the V6 diesel ensures that crucial torque is available right where our customers need it for heavy loads, while meeting modern emissions standards.”

Five colours will be offered at launch, with white being the only no-cost option. Expect to see the Ford Ranger Super Duty Cab-Chassis in Australian dealerships in early 2026.
