2025 Ford Ranger Black Edition
By Lorenzo Bianchi August 21, 2025
The 2025 Ford Ranger Black Edition features unique satin-black styling elements and a suite of exterior enhancements tailored for a sleek, dark aesthetic.
Powered by a 2.0L bi-turbo diesel engine producing 154 kW and 500 Nm, paired with a 10‑speed automatic transmission and part-time 4WD.
Priced from AUD $56,680 (ex‑on‑road) in Australia, offering value that positions it between base and premium trims with distinctive styling.
Dark Refined Design
Ford's Black Edition brings a restrained take on rugged refinement. It’s based on the Ranger XL 4×4 double-cab yet distinguishes itself through its Jet Black accents, including a black sports bar, drop-in bed liner, bed-side cargo management system, black side steps, and a unique black mesh grille with dark trim. 17-inch all-terrain black alloy wheels complete the bold visual language.
Strong and Refined Performance
Under the skin, the powertrain is shared with higher trims. The 2.0L bi‑turbo diesel delivers 154 kW of power and 500 Nm torque, routed through a 10-speed automatic and a part-time 4WD system. Fuel efficiency stands at 7.6 L/100 km, with 201 g/km CO₂ emissions on a combined cycle.
Equipment with Subtle Sophistication
Beyond its dynamic engine, the Black Edition enriches the Ranger XL with practical upgrades. Features include luxurious carpet flooring with driver’s mat, integrated cargo management, and a toughened drop-in bed liner. It retains the XL’s standard offerings: a 10.1-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen, wireless smartphone mirroring, and essential driver-assistance tools like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise, and lane departure alerts.
Positioned for Value
Offering a compelling package, the Ranger Black Edition starts at AUD $56,680 ex‑on‑road, which translates to a drive-away price around $57,990 in many regions. It strikes a balance: more exclusive than the XL base yet priced below mid-tier models—delivering premium look and capability without a steep premium.
