The Ford Ranger is receiving updated styling, more standard tech and safety gear for model year 2026.5 (MY26.5), as well as new Wolftrak and Black Edition variants and wider V6 availability.

The updated MY26.5 Ranger lineup brings minor exterior changes to the hugely successful current generation – introduced in 2022 – with gloss and matte black details inside and out where chrome or grey was previously used.

There’s a new Ranger Wolftrak, a special edition positioned between the Ranger XLT and Tremor, available only with the 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine, 10-speed auto, four-wheel drive and pickup body style, with a ‘long legged’ sports bar, lime green accents, 17-inch Asphalt Black alloy wheels, and an exclusive Traction Green exterior finish.

At $70,990 before on-roads, the Wolftrak is $600 cheaper than the previous Ranger Sport which has been dropped as part of the update. 

The MY26.5 Ranger update also sees the Black Edition – previously a limited-run offering – become a full-time model, priced at $59,990 and exclusively in dual-cab pickup configuration with the V6 diesel and four-wheel drive.

They add to a Ranger lineup which sees V6 power offered on all model grades, including the entry-level Ranger XL for the first time.

The V6 replaces the previous 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder diesel axed earlier this year – likely due to emissions – as a second engine choice on work-spec Rangers.
