2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty: Initial pricing and specs detailed for more capable ute
The Ranger Super Duty – using the Super Duty name applied to the most capable Ford trucks sold in North America – comes with the highest towing and payload capabilities of any Ranger offered to date.
It gives the Ranger – the best-selling vehicle in Australia for the past two years – a uniquely capable option against key rival Toyota HiLux and newcomers like the Kia Tasman and BYD Shark 6.

Ford has announced pricing for the Single Cab-Chassis, Super Cab-Chassis and Double Cab-Chassis body styles which will be the first Super Duty models on sale.
The company has already confirmed the Ranger Super Duty Pickup and XLT Super Duty will follow on, joining the initial cab/chassis models in Ford Australia showrooms in late 2026.
'The Ranger Super Duty project was about pushing the boundaries of what a mid-size truck can achieve,' Drew O'Shannassy, Ranger Super Duty program supervisor said in a statement. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
'We focused relentlessly on core capability – increasing GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating), 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.'
The cab/chassis pricing doesn't include a tray, with Ford offering three different types: a galvanised steel tray, body colour steel tray or a matte black steel tray. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
The Ranger Super Duty Single Cab-Chassis will be $82,990 before on-road costs with an official licensed Ford tray adding between $7121 to $9376 including fitment and GST.
That brings the total to between $90,111-$92,266 including a fitted tray before on-road costs, with the Super Duty Single Cab-Chassis offering 299mm ground clearance and payload of up to 1982kg.
The Ranger Super Duty Super Cab-Chassis – offering more space behind the front seats – will be priced from $86,480, with trays priced from $6296 to $8551 including fitment and GST.
This sees the Super Duty Super Cab-Chassis priced between $92,776 and $95,351 including a fitted tray before on-road costs, with 297mm ground clearance and up to 1896kg payload. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
The Ranger Super Duty Double Cab-Chassis will be $89,990 before on-roads – only $450 less than the Ranger Raptor list price – with trays priced from $5966 to $8166 including fitment.
That brings the Super Duty Double Cab-Chassis up to $95,956 with the cheapest tray and $98,156 before on-road costs with the most expensive tray added.
It comes with 295mm ground clearance and a payload of up to 1825kg.
All three models have a 1710mm track width – matching that of the Ranger Raptor, which is 90mm wider than the rest of the Ranger lineup – and a braked towing capacity of 4500kg. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
They also have a front axle load rating of 1900kg and a rear axle load rating of 2800kg – compared to a best of 1450kg front and 1959kg rear on other model grades including Ranger XLT dual-cab.
Ford says it has upgraded the cooling system for the Super Duty to improve performance and reliability with its increased towing as well as its higher 4500kg GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) and 8000kg GCM (Gross Combined Mass).
The size increase also gives the Super Duty 50mm higher water wading capability, with all three trim levels announced so far boasting 850mm water wading.
The Super Duty lineup will use the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine already offered in other model grades, making the same 154kW at 3250rpm and 600Nm at 1750rpm. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
Arctic White is included in the list price, with Seismic Tan – unique to Super Duty models – Shadow Black, Command Grey and Aluminium Metallic available for an additional $750.
Ford said it will add Traction Green to the options list in late 2026 when the Double-Cab pickup and XLT Super Duty variant arrive.
Ford will release more details, including full dimensions, ahead of the Ranger Super Duty's early 2026 arrival in local dealers.

Is Lexus sending off its sexiest car in style?
The Lexus LC has received a special Pinnacle edition in Japan, which could signal the end of its flagship grand tourer after eight years in production. The name, after all, means the highest, most successful point, or the culmination. Just 100 examples each of the LC500 Pinnacle and LC500 Convertible Pinnacle will be offered in Japan, and there's no word yet on any Australian availability. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new Lexus LC. Click here to get a great deal. The special-edition coupe is tuned to be sportier than the more comfort-focused convertible, and features a hollow rear aluminium suspension member that Lexus says improves grip and rigidity. Both body styles get one-piece moulded front bumper canards and unique 21-inch forged aluminium wheels. They also wear a fixed rear wing made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, while Lexus also says it has fitted a retuned limited-slip differential. The coupe is finished in matte Oboro Silver, while the convertible has Neutrino Grey paint and a Brown Silver roof. Inside, the two special-edition variants differ in colour again. The coupe has a black and white interior, while the convertible has a saddle tan and white cabin 'inspired by the scene of melting snow as sunlight hits the remaining snow and reveals the earth'. Both the coupe and convertible get exclusive embroidery on the passenger side of the dash, plus special scuff plates and Limited Edition centre console plaques. Both the coupe and convertible are priced in Japan at ¥17,800,000 (~A$183,000), whereas the standard LC500 coupe costs ¥14,100,000 (~A$145,000) and the convertible ¥15,550,000 (~A$160,000). No changes appear to have been made to the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine powering the Pinnacle specials. This engine produces 351kW of power and 540Nm of torque, and is mated exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The LC is the grandest of grand tourers in Lexus' 36-year history. It was first previewed by the LF-LC concept in 2012, and Lexus developed a new rear-wheel drive platform for it. The coupe entered production in 2017, with a convertible following in 2020, and continues to be offered with a choice of 5.0-litre V8 or 3.5-litre V6 hybrid powertrains (though the convertible is V8-only). In June, Japanese outlet Creative Trend reported the entire LC line would end production after the last IS500 sports sedan – the only other Lexus road car to share the 5.0-litre V8 engine – rolls off the line in November 2025. While the current LC could be on its way out, reports out of Japan suggest Lexus isn't withdrawing from the coupe segment. A Best Car Web report from June pointed to the LC being replaced along with the RC (which was axed here in 2021 but lives on overseas) by a vehicle derived from the next-generation Toyota Supra. There's been much speculation about the future of Lexus' flagship coupe. In 2021, Lexus appeared to tease a convertible resembling a next-generation LC (below, far left), while also revealing the Electrified Sport Concept (above, centre) that pointed to an electric successor. Subsequently, reports have pointed to an entirely different flagship for the Lexus lineup: a supercar called the LFR, powered by a twin-turbo V8, based on Toyota's GT3 GR concept car and serving as a spiritual successor to the iconic LFA. This vehicle has been spied testing and, while Lexus Australia hasn't confirmed whether the car will wear the 'L' badge, it has said it's excited to see the product. To the end of June, Lexus has delivered 33 LCs in Australia this year – more than the LS sedan (6) and almost as many as the RZ electric SUV (34). While a low-volume proposition, the LC still outsells the rival BMW 8 Series (13) and Mercedes-AMG SL (14). Lexus has changed strategies with its flagship grand tourer before. Its first was the SC300/SC400 – a rebadged Toyota Soarer never sold here – which was more affordable than the LS and shared components with the Toyota Supra. Produced from 1991 to 2000, it was replaced by the SC430 which was an even more comfort-focused model that was offered exclusively as a folding hardtop convertible. This exited production in 2010, leaving a gap of seven years before the LC entered production. Click an image to view the full gallery.

2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid price and specs
The Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid has arrived in Australia, bringing a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, more refined aesthetics, and a comprehensive standard equipment list to one of the Chinese brand's two mid-size SUVs. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Super Hybrid system pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a single-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, sending power to the front wheels only. This is fed by an 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The result is a claimed fuel economy of just 1.4L/100km, and a claimed electric driving range of 93km on the more lenient NEDC testing regime. This powertrain has launched in Australia simultaneously in both the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and seven-seat Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid. The system is known as Chery Super Hybrid (CSH), as seen on the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid and the upcoming Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid. This name differs from the SHS name used for Chery-owned Jaecoo Super Hybrids. For context, the powertrain available in the standard Tiggo 7 Pro comprises a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which sends its power to the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Super Hybrid adds exactly $10,000 to the price of the standard petrol Tiggo 7 Pro, which means the range starts at $39,990 drive-away for the base Urban, and extends to $43,990 drive-away for the top-spec Ultimate. Inside, the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is fitted with dual 12.3-inch displays, synthetic leather upholstery, and wireless smartphone mirroring, while the Ultimate adds seat heating and ventilation and a panoramic sunroof. Its exterior features tweaked styling front and rear, with revised LED headlights and the 'next evolution' of Chery's diamond grille design. The brand says this will feature on petrol-powered Tiggo 7 models in the near future. Our launch review of the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is now live, and you can read it here. Both variants are exactly $10,000 more expensive than their petrol Tiggo 7 Pro counterparts, while also being $6000 cheaper than the comparable Tiggo 8 Super Hybrids. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Like the broader Chery Australia range, the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Chery's individual service pricing is detailed below. For context, a non-hybrid, front-wheel drive Tiggo 7 Pro will cost $2151.93 to service over seven years, while the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid costs the same as its powertrain-sharing sibling at $3174.15. While the petrol Tiggo 7 Pro boasts a five-star ANCAP safety rating, it's not yet clear whether this rating has been carried over to the Super Hybrids. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Standard safety equipment includes: 8 airbags, including: Adaptive cruise control Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) Blind-spot monitor Driver monitoring system Lane-change assist Lane-keep assist Rear cross-traffic alert Rear parking sensors Reversing camera Safe exit assist Traffic jam assist Tyre pressure monitor Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Ultimate adds: Front parking sensors Surround-view camera Like the petrol model, the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid range includes two variants, but standard equipment differs between each powertrain. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert 2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Urban equipment highlights: 18-inch dark matte alloy wheels Tyre repair kit Automatic LED projector headlights LED tail-lights Rear fog light Rain-sensing wipers Heated side mirrors Synthetic leather upholstery Leather-wrapped steering wheel 6-way powered driver's seat 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DAB+ digital radio Intelligent voice command 1 x front USB-A port 1 x front USB-C port 1 x rear USB-A port 6-speaker sound system Dual-zone climate control Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Ultimate adds: 18-inch machined alloy wheels Puddle lights Power-folding side mirrors Panoramic sunroof Auto-dimming rear-view mirror Driver's seat memory function 4-way powered front passenger seat Heated and ventilated front seats Wireless phone charger 8-speaker Sony sound system Interior ambient lighting Five exterior paint colours are available for the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid at launch, and all but one come at extra cost. While the price isn't listed on Chery Australia's website, industry guide RedBook lists prices of $600.
