Default Re: Ranger Super Duty Confirmed for 2026

Na I don’t hate them Interceptor, and me saying ‘most’ caravaners are guilty of what I described is an exaggeration but the stereotype exists for a reason.

I also thought wouldn’t it have been easier/cheaper for ford to import base spec F250 instead of going through the drama R and D for this.
I did a quick search and from memory the base petrol V8 F250 retail price equated to about $90k aud. V8 diesel added another $10k. Plus conversion cost.
And the dollar has weakened approx 10% since then.
And I don’t think the entry F250 has the payload of this.

Although if the payload rating is the same as the dual cab Thai specials, it will be aspirational as 1 tonne in them without changing springs or using airbags is only good for the sales brochure.
