It’s 2026 now. But the discounts linger. Ford extended their offers for the Ranger ute and Everest SUV right through into the new financial year. Up to $6000 is off the price. If you were waiting.
The deal runs until September 30.
For the MY26.5 Ranger XLS, XLT, and Wildtrak, you get $3000 knocked off the negotiated price. Then there is the servicing. Five services, free of charge. Every twelve months or 15,00km. That saves you roughly $1596. The same goes for the Everest Tremor and Everest Sport V6. Same saving. Roughly $1595.
Stack them? Ford calls it a ‘Triple Stack’.
$3000 price cut. Free services. Another $3000 if you use Ford Finance. Total potential savings sit around the $6000 mark. Why the push? Maybe because the Tesla Model Y knocked the Ranger off its pedestal in June. Ford slipped to third. Behind BYD. And Toyota is still waiting to be toppled.
“The Ranger topped the charts for three years straight.”
Not anymore. Well. Not in June.
Ford dropped the old $4000 fuel card offer on the new models. It happened before the updated MY26.6.5 units even hit dealerships. The lineup changed anyway. The Black Edition stayed permanent. The Wolftrak limited edition appeared. Engines got simpler. The bi-turbo diesel in the lower grades is gone. Replaced by the single-turbo 2.0-litre.
The Everest followed suit.
The new Everest Active is cheaper now. It starts from $58,99 before on-road costs. $500 less than the Ambiente it replaced. It uses the same engine. The one from the Ranger.
But here is the catch. The old MY26.0 models still get that $4000 fuel plus the $300 Ford Finance cut. Wait. Did Ford fix the math? They confirmed to CarExpert you can actually choose a $500 cash discount instead of the fuel card on the older stock. Better for some. Maybe not all.
The finance discount also covers older Hybrid models. MY25.75 and before. The new MY26.5 Hybrid arrives July to September. It brings a new entry level XL. Starting price? $599,990 drive-away. Down from the previous X Hybrid at $71,0. Cheap. For a hybrid ute.
And it isn’t just utes. The $300 finance credit works for some F-150s, the Mustang GT and EcoBoost, the Mach-E, even the Tourneo people mover.
Look at the numbers. June sales were 9,81 units total. 89 percent came from just two vehicles: the Ranger and Everest. That is heavy reliance.
Total sales fell 9 percent year on year. A slight dip. Yet the Ranger sits atop the list year to date. 26,114 units. The Toyota HiLux is second at 2,00. Tesla is third. 036 units.
Everest? 131 sales to end of June. Beating the Prado (12) and the MU-X (64).
So you have the discounts. The stacked financing. The older models with their fuel cards still sitting on forecourts.
Do you take the free servicing on a new engine you don’t fully understand yet? Or do you grab the discount on the outgoing spec?
The choice is yours. But the window closes soon. September looms. And Ford isn’t done tweaking the numbers yet.
