By Lorenzo Bianchi October 14, 2026
The Agate Black paintwork, gold racing accents, 21-inch diamond-cut wheels and a motorsport-inspired aerodynamic bodykit are featured on the 2026 Ford Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition.
Its sports suspension sits 40 mm lower than the standard Ranger, with firmer front dampers and revised rear suspension, while retaining up to 3.5 tonnes of towing capacity.
The double-cab pickup receives heated MS-RT sports seats, gold interior stitching and a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen. Orders are open, with deliveries beginning in spring 2026.
Ford Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition Brings Rally Styling
The 2026 Ford Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition has been introduced as a special version of Ford's performance-inspired pickup, combining motorsport styling with the towing and load-carrying capability expected from a Ranger.
Developed with M-Sport Road Technology, the Champion Edition draws on Ford's rallying history and the company's long association with M-Sport, which has operated Ford's World Rally Championship programme since 1997.
The changes are immediately noticeable. Agate Black paintwork, gold details and a lowered stance give the pickup a different appearance from conventional Ranger models.
Each example is hand-finished by MS-RT in the United Kingdom.
Agate Black Bodywork With Gold Racing Stripes
The Champion Edition uses matte black racing stripes with gold edging, extending across the front bumper, bonnet and tailgate.
Its redesigned MS-RT bumpers, extended wheel arches and sculpted side skirts create a wider appearance.
The bodykit also includes an integrated rear diffuser and two spoilers, one mounted on the cab and another forming a ducktail above the tailgate.
These details take inspiration from Ford's motorsport history, particularly the large rear wings associated with the Sierra RS500 and Escort Cosworth.
The 21-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels receive a gold finish, referencing racing car wheel designs and complementing the exterior graphics.
Lowered Sports Suspension With Revised Dampers
The Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition retains the suspension arrangement developed for the regular MS-RT.
Its ride height is reduced by 40 mm compared with standard Ranger models, while firmer front dampers and a retuned rear suspension are intended to improve cornering response.
Despite the lower stance and additional bodywork, Ford has retained the Ranger's working capabilities.
Braked towing capacity reaches 3.5 tonnes, while maximum payload remains up to one tonne.
The truck is offered exclusively as a four-door double cab with a rear passenger bench.
Heated Sports Seats and Gold Interior Details
Inside, the Champion Edition continues the black and gold theme.
Heated, heavily bolstered MS-RT front seats feature premium eco-leather, suede and contrast stitching.
The sports steering wheel has a perforated eco-leather finish, heating and a rally-style centre marker.
Gold floor mats and a dedicated Champion Edition plaque distinguish the cabin.
Standard equipment includes a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, ambient lighting and dual-zone climate control.
Driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, Active Park Assist and multiple camera views.
