What’s new in the Ranger Super Duty?
The Super Duty will receive a host of structural and mechanical upgrades to boost its load-bearing and off-road abilities. These likely include reinforced suspension, larger and more rugged tires, and an improved four-wheel-drive system.
A more powerful engine
The Super Duty may borrow its powertrain from the larger F-150, such as a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 or a 3.0-liter diesel V6 producing over 250 hp. This would allow it to tow heavier loads and tackle rough terrain with ease.
Why Super Duty now?
The move comes amid growing demand for heavy-duty pickups in Europe and the Middle East. Ford aims to fill the gap between the standard Ranger and the massive F-150, offering a mid-size option with superior capabilities.
How much will the Ford Ranger Super Duty cost in Saudi Arabia?
While official pricing is unannounced, estimates suggest the Super Duty will be 20-30% more expensive than the standard Ranger. Based on the current Ranger’s starting price of SAR 130,000, the Super Duty could range between SAR 170,000 and SAR 200,000 (approx. USD 45,300 to USD 53,300).
Will it reach Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is a key market for pickups, and the Super Duty is expected to arrive in the kingdom after its global launch. If launched worldwide by 2025, it could hit Saudi showrooms in 2026. The estimated starting price is around SAR 180,000 (USD 48,000), varying by trim.
Competitors
The Super Duty will directly compete with the Toyota Hilux and Nissan Navara, especially in higher trims, but will offer superior towing and payload capacities.
