The Ford Ranger is being offered with discounts of up to $3000 on selected variants, including both diesel and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) utes, ahead of the launch of the updated MY26.5 lineup.
Ford Australia hasn’t listed specific prices for each Ranger on its website, instead promoting a $3000 discount across eligible variants of its best-seller.
This excludes the recently launched Ranger Super Duty, the Ranger Raptor performance ute, as well as entry-level XL and all 4×2 variants of the regular Ranger lineup.
The discounts apply to model year 2026 (MY26) and prior examples, and apply only to the more popular Ranger 4×4 range.
They start with the Ranger XLS dual-cab 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel with a 10-speed automatic, which has $3000 advertised off its standard $57,880 before on-road costs asking price.

The Ranger XLT also has $3000 off Super Cab and Double Cab variants fitted with the 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel, with the same discount applied to 3.0-litre V6-powered XLT cab/chassis and Double Cab models.
The Ranger Sport, with either engine, is also included in the offer, as are all four model grades of the Ranger PHEV , lowering the starting price to $68,990 before on-road costs for the PHEV XLT.
The Ranger PHEV Sport, Wildtrak and Stormtrak all receive $3000 off, with the range-topping Stormtrak priced from $83,990 before on-road costs.
The plug-in hybrid Ranger, launched last year, uses a 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and electric motor for total system outputs of 207kW of power and 697Nm of torque, while an 11.8kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion battery delivers up to 49km of electric driving range on the NEDC test cycle.
Ford hasn’t listed an end date for the $3000 discounts.
The Black Edition Bi-Turbo dual-cab 4×4 ute is still listed with a starting price of $57,000 drive-away, or $55,000 drive-away for Australian Business Number (ABN) holders.
Ford announced $250 price increases across all diesel variants in mid-2025, with minor pricing adjustments for MY26.5 revealed last November, including the Black Edition and Wolftrak special edition.
The automaker will also drop the bi-turbo diesel engine from the Ranger lineup, following its removal from the Ranger range in the UK in 2025 due to emissions regulations.
The entry-level Ranger XL will instead use a 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel with a 10-speed automatic, while the V6 diesel engine will be made more widely available.
Ford has also dropped the bi-turbo engine from its Everest SUV, which shares most of its underpinnings with the Ranger and outsold arch-rival Toyota LandCruiser Prado for the second consecutive year in 2025.
In 2025, the Ranger beat the Toyota HiLux for the third year in a row to remain the most popular vehicle in Australia.
