Ford Ranger and Everest Customers Receive $4000 Fuel Card Offer
Ford is offering a significant incentive to customers purchasing the Ranger and Everest models, with a $4000 fuel card provided as part of a special promotion. This move aims to ease the financial burden of rising diesel prices, which have exceeded $3 per litre in many areas.
The fuel card is available on select versions of the 2026 model year (MY26) and earlier Ranger XLT, Sport, and Wildtrak variants, as well as the Everest Trend SUV. The offer includes a digital MasterCard gift card that can only be used at service stations or merchants selling fuel. This initiative aligns with other promotional deals aimed at making these vehicles more attractive to potential buyers.
Special Offers on Ranger PHEV Models
One of the most notable promotions is on the Ranger plug-in hybrid (PHEV), now branded as the Ranger Hybrid. The entry-level XLT model is currently available for $62,000, marking a reduction of $17,000 from its original price. This deal is valid nationwide until 30 June, with the exact discount varying by state and territory.
- In states like Victoria and Western Australia, where registration costs are higher, the savings may be greater.
- In regions such as the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the discounts might be smaller.
The Ranger PHEV Sport is listed at $66,000, while the PHEV Wildtrak is priced at $70,000—both approximately $17,000 off. The Stormtrak variant is available for $73,000, with an average discount of over $20,000.
Additional Discounts for Primary Producers
Ford is also providing an extra $1000 discount on Ranger, Ranger Super Duty, and Ranger PHEV models for farming businesses registered as primary producers. This additional incentive highlights the company’s commitment to supporting key industries in Australia.
Fuel Card Value and Flexibility
The $4000 fuel card is equivalent to 1290 litres of diesel at the current national average of $3.10 per litre. This amount translates to roughly 16 full tanks of fuel in both the Ranger and Everest models. Based on a fuel consumption rate of 9.0L/100km, this equates to more than 14,000km of driving.
- Should diesel prices drop to $1.80 per litre, the card could provide up to 2220 litres of fuel—close to 28 full tanks or 24,500km of driving.
Alternative Options for Electric Vehicles
For customers looking to avoid liquid fuel altogether, Ford is offering the fully-electric E-Transit van at a discounted price of $59,000, representing a saving of about $40,000. Additionally, runout stock of the 2023.75 Mustang Mach-E electric SUV is still available with away deals ranging from $60,000 for the Select model to $89,000 for the GT variant, with discounts between $8000 and $19,000.
Availability of Promotions
The $4000 fuel card offer is valid until eligible Ranger and Everest variants are sold out. Meanwhile, the Ranger PHEV away pricing and primary producers’ savings are active until 30 June.
Conclusion
With rising fuel costs posing a challenge for many drivers, Ford’s latest promotions aim to make its popular Ranger and Everest models more accessible. From substantial price reductions on the Ranger PHEV to generous fuel card incentives, the company is offering a range of options to suit different needs. Whether customers prefer traditional fuel, hybrid technology, or fully electric alternatives, there are compelling reasons to consider these models in the current market.
