Ford Ranger Black Edition 2027MY lands from $53,490 with driveaway offer at participating dealers

What has changed

Ford's 2027 model year update has brought the Ranger Black Edition to Australian showrooms in revised form, with CarExpert listing the Black Edition 4x4 2.0L double cab pick-up as released on 1 August 2026 at a starting price of $53,490 before on-road costs. That undercuts the 2026MY Black Edition, which CarExpert records at $55,990 before on-road costs from its 4 August 2025 release date, a reduction of $2,500 in list pricing between the two model years. ¹²

Alongside the new model year, Ford's published offer terms for the 2027 Ranger Black Edition 2.0L confirm a recommended driveaway price at participating dealers, available to private and Blue, Silver and Gold Business Fleet customers only, with Ford Australia reserving the right to vary the offer at any time. These terms appear in current offers material distributed through Ford dealer Peter Warren Automotive. ³

Specification: a single-turbo tune for 2027

CarExpert's specification data for the 2027MY Black Edition 4x4 shows a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel producing 125kW at 3500rpm and 405Nm from 1750rpm, driving through a ten-speed automatic. Ford's Australian Ranger range page lists the same outputs for the Black Edition's 2.0L Turbo-Diesel with part-time 4x4, with an optional 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel offering 184kW and 600Nm with full-time 4WD. ²³

That marks a notable change from the 2026MY Black Edition, for which CarExpert lists 154kW at 3750rpm and 500Nm at 1750rpm from its 2.0-litre diesel. The 2027MY figure of 125kW/405Nm matches Ford's single-turbo 2.0L tune used across lower Ranger grades, rather than the higher-output biturbo calibration recorded for the previous year's Black Edition. Both model years share the same 7.2L/100km combined fuel claim, an 80-litre tank and 3500kg braked towing capacity, according to CarExpert. ¹²

The 2027MY Black Edition measures 5370mm long, 1918mm wide and 1875mm tall on a 3270mm wheelbase, with 224mm of unladen ground clearance, CarExpert's data shows. Kerb weight is listed at 2190kg with a 1060kg payload allowance and a 3250kg gross vehicle weight. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first, and the vehicle carries a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. ²

Equipment: what the Black Edition leaves out

Ford's Ranger range material, published through dealer Peter Warren Automotive, describes the Black Edition as a double cab pick-up with a black front grille, halogen headlamps and daytime running lamps. The same footnotes confirm several feature exclusions that matter for this grade: LED headlamps are not available on XL, XLS and Black Edition models, wireless phone charging is not available on XL, XLS and Black Edition variants, and Tow/Haul mode is not available on the 2.0L Black Edition. ³

Towing capability on the Black Edition comes with a condition. Ford states that 3500kg braked towing capacity is standard across the Ranger range excluding Raptor, but that the tow pack is available as part of a pack at additional cost on XL, XLS and Black Edition, subject to state and territory regulations and GCM and GVM limits. ³

CarExpert's equipment listing for the 2027MY Black Edition nonetheless shows a substantial standard kit: adaptive cruise control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.1-inch central touchscreen with an 8.0-inch reconfigurable instrument cluster, front and rear parking sensors with camera, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance with braking, nine airbags, dual-zone automatic climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres, and a cloth interior. ²

Warranty and offer conditions

Separately from the driveaway pricing, Ford states that a seven-year conditional warranty applies to new and demonstrator vehicles delivered from 1 September 2026, on the condition that all services are completed at a Ford dealer within servicing intervals. Ford notes the warranty period commences on the delivery date, or for demonstrators on the date first registered by a Ford dealer, and that it does not limit rights under the Australian Consumer Law. This sits alongside the standing five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty figure CarExpert lists for the Ranger Black Edition. ³²

Ford's offer fine print also indicates a fuel card redemption attached to current Ranger and Everest promotions: customers must submit a claim within 90 days of vehicle purchase, with later claims deemed invalid and the fuel card offer forfeited. The offer covers select 2026.5MY and 2027MY Ranger and Everest models and excludes Platinum Fleet and Government buyers, available at participating dealers only. ³

Market context

The Black Edition sits in Australia's most competitive ute segment, where the Ranger remains the country's top seller. CarExpert's sales data, based on VFACTS figures, records 57,960 Ranger sales in 2024, 53,694 in 2025 and 28,500 year to date in 2026. Ford's own range material claims the Ranger is Australia's number one vehicle for work and adventure, citing VFACTS full-year sales results for 2023, 2024 and 2025. ²³

On safety, both the 2026MY and 2027MY Black Edition carry the five-star ANCAP rating from the Ranger's September 2022 test, conducted on a Wildtrak RHD variant, with scores of 84 per cent for adult occupant protection, 93 per cent for child occupant protection, 74 per cent for pedestrian protection and 83 per cent for safety assist, valid until 31 December 2028, according to CarExpert's published ANCAP data. ¹²
