2025 Ford Ranger Super Duty Revealed

After months of being teased, the 2025 Ford Ranger Super Duty has been unveiled – revealing a heavy-duty off-road ute which bridges the gap between the standard Ranger and the F-150.

Almost every aspect of Ford’s popular ute has been upgraded, with the Ranger Super Duty boasting increased capability in almost every area.

While the standard Ranger has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of between 3060kg and 3350kg, the Super Duty boasts a GWM of 4500kg – the maximum allowed on a car licence, before the vehicle is reclassified as a light truck.

Towing has also increased, from 3500kg (braked) to 4500kg (braked), while the gross combination mass has gone up from approximately 6400kg to 8000kg. Payload specifications have yet to be announced.

Proving this is more than just a cosmetic or skin-deep special, the Ranger Super Duty’s chassis is thicker, the suspension and box mounts have been reinforced, and Ford has fitted it with a new rear differential – the strongest and largest to be fitted to a production Ranger – along with a heavy-duty rear axle and eight-stud wheel hubs with larger bolts.

A low-range gearset has now matches the F-Series Super Duty.

The front differential is said to be a modified version of the unit found in the Ford Bronco Raptor sold in the US, while differential locks have been fitted front and rear.

Along with being taller and having a wider wheel track and increased clearance, the Super Duty also rides on General Grabber 33-inch all-terrain tyres.

Under the vehicle are frame-mounted steel armour plates to protect the engine, front differential, transfer case, transmission, and the new 130-litre long-range fuel tank.

The Ford Ranger Super Duty comes with onboard scales, which use sensors on all four corners to estimate the payload on board.

Available as a single cab-chassis, dual cab-chassis, and a dual-cab with a tub, the Ranger Super Duty is powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine. While performance figures haven’t been released, the engine puts out 184kW and 600Nm in other Ranger variants.

There are also taller side mirrors, Ford’s Pro-Trailer Backup Assist, front and rear parking sensors, and an optional Integrated Device Mounting system on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Inside is familiar Ranger territory, with a 12-inch portrait-oriented infotainment screen with 360-degree cameras, and roof-mounted auxiliary buttons which can be connected to aftermarket items such as additional spot-lights.

Drivers can also pick between six drive modes – Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Mud/Ruts, Sand, and Rock Crawl – with Automatic four-wheel drive (4A) a permanent setting to ensure the maximum traction at all times.

Pricing and exact specifications have yet to be announced by Ford, but expect more information on the Ranger Super Duty closer to its launch in the coming months.
