Ford Australia has begun offering discounts of up to $3000 across selected variants of its best-selling Ranger ute, as the brand prepares to roll out the updated MY26.5 lineup.
Rather than listing revised prices for each model on its website, Ford is promoting a flat $3000 saving on eligible Ford Ranger variants, covering both diesel and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the popular dual-cab ute.
Ford Ranger discount: which models are included?
The offer excludes the recently launched Ranger Super Duty, the high-performance Ranger Raptor, entry-level XL variants, and all 4×2 models. Instead, the discounts apply to MY26 and earlier examples within the more popular Ranger 4×4 range.
The runout savings start with the Ranger XLS dual-cab 4×4 powered by the 2.0L bi-turbo diesel engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. All four grades of the Ranger PHEV are also covered by the promotion.
| Variant | Body style | Engine | Drivetrain | Discount |
| Ranger XLS | Dual-cab | 2.0L bi-turbo diesel | 4×4 | $3000 |
| Ranger XLT | Super Cab / Double Cab | 2.0L bi-turbo diesel | 4×4 | $3000 |
| Ranger XLT | Cab/chassis / Double Cab | 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel | 4×4 | $3000 |
| Ranger Sport | Dual-cab | 2.0L bi-turbo diesel | 4×4 | $3000 |
| Ranger Sport | Dual-cab | 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel | 4×4 | $3000 |
Ford’s popular Ranger Sport is included as well, regardless of whether buyers choose the bi-turbo four-cylinder or the V6 diesel engine. Ford has not listed an end date for the $3000 discount, suggesting the deal will run while stocks of existing MY26 vehicles last.
Ford Ranger PHEV details
Launched last year, the Ranger PHEV combines a 2.3L four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an electric motor. Total system outputs stand at 207kW of power and 697Nm of torque.
An 11.8kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion battery provides up to 49km of electric-only driving range under the NEDC test cycle, positioning the Ranger PHEV as a more efficient alternative for buyers who still want strong towing and off-road capability.
Ford Ranger PHEV Pricing After Discount
Ford’s runout offer extends to all Ranger PHEV variants, cutting $3000 from the price and lowering the entry point for its electrified dual-cab ute.
| Variant | Engine | Price (before on-road costs) |
| Ranger PHEV XLT | 2.3L turbo-petrol + electric motor | $68,990 |
| Ranger PHEV Sport | 2.3L turbo-petrol + electric motor | $73,990 |
| Ranger PHEV Wildtrak | 2.3L turbo-petrol + electric motor | $79,990 |
| Ranger PHEV Stormtrak | 2.3L turbo-petrol + electric motor | $83,990 |
Pricing context & upcoming changes
The discount campaign follows Ford’s $250 price increase across all diesel Ranger variants in mid-2025, along with minor MY26.5 pricing adjustments announced last November for models such as the Black Edition and Wolftrak special edition.
The Ranger Black Edition Bi-Turbo dual-cab 4×4 remains listed at $57,000 drive-away, or $55,000 drive-away for Australian Business Number (ABN) holders.
Looking ahead, Ford has confirmed it will drop the bi-turbo diesel engine from the Ranger lineup, following its removal from the UK range in 2025 due to tightening emissions regulations. The entry-level Ranger XL will instead use a 2.0L single-turbo diesel with a 10-speed automatic, while the 3.0L V6 diesel will become more widely available across the range.
The same bi-turbo engine has already been dropped from the related Ford Everest SUV, which shares much of its platform with the Ranger and outsold the Toyota LandCruiser Prado for the second consecutive year in 2025.
Australia’s best-selling vehicle
The timing of the Ranger discounts comes as the ute continues its dominance of the Australian market. In 2025, the Ford Ranger outsold the Toyota HiLux for the third year running, cementing its position as Australia’s most popular new vehicle.
With savings of up to $3000 now available across key diesel and PHEV variants, the Ranger runout deal is likely to attract strong buyer interest ahead of the MY26.5 update.
