The Ranger Black Edition has returned to Ford dealerships, with the limited-run MY26 model now available to order from $55,990 (MLP).

Ford is offering recommended driveaway pricing from $57,000 for private buyers and $55,000 for ABN holders – when finished in Arctic White. This places the Black Edition between the Ranger XL it’s based on ($51,130) and the Ranger XLS ($57,880). By comparison, the 2.0-litre bi-turbo XLT is $63,890.

The Ranger Black Edition proved a sell-out success in 2024, when 1500 units were offered locally. Like last year’s model, the MY26 Black Edition is based on the 2.0-litre bi-turbo XL dual-cab pick-up 4×4.

What sets it apart from the XL is a suite of black-themed enhancements, including a long-legged sports bar in black; unique 17-inch Asphalt Black alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres; black side steps; and an Asphalt Black mesh grille with Bolder Grey inserts.

Additional features include carpet flooring with a driver’s floor mat, a drop-in bedliner, and a Cargo Management System. Options include a towing pack at $1950 (MLP) and Prestige Paint at $750.

“The Ranger Black Edition is back by popular demand, offering a fantastic blend of style, capability, and value,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia. “We understand that our customers, whether for personal use or small business needs, are looking for a truck that not only performs but also stands out. The Ranger Black Edition delivers on all fronts, with its striking styling and practical features.”

The announcement follows the earlier release of the Everest Black Edition, limited to 750 units at $69,000 driveaway. Based on the Everest Trend, it features the 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel (154kW/500Nm) with a 10-speed auto, full-time 4WD and locking rear diff, along with unique black styling touches, 18-inch black alloys with all-terrain tyres, and matching trim inside and out.

Production of the Ranger Black Edition is scheduled to run from September to October, with first showroom arrivals due in October.
