Imagine a Ford mid-size pickup truck that is so powerful you might call it a Super Duty. Get ready because if the rumors are true, Ford could be developing one of the most powerful mid-size trucks on the market, the 2026 Ford Ranger Super Duty. With more power, towing capacity, and off-road capability, this is the Ranger you'd want to drive everywhere, both on and off the road. Already rated by industry experts like J.D. Power, Car and Driver, and Edmunds as the best mid-size pickup truck, the new 2026 Ford Ranger is expected to be a top pick in its class.
Another potential change for the Ranger trucks is a hybrid powertrain, which would increase the fuel efficiency of a Ford truck that already has excellent EPA fuel economy, with a driving range of 460 miles with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
