It’s been a long time coming, but Ford Philippines has officially launched a more powerful version of its popular pickup truck and SUV. Say hello to the 2026 Ford Ranger & Everest, and they’re packing plenty of upgrades and updates.

Beginning with the most important aspect, the upgraded Ranger and Everest are now available with a new 3.0L Powerstroke turbo-diesel V6. It generates a healthy 250 PS at 3250 rpm and a whopping 600 Nm of torque from 1750 to 2250 rpm. The new Powerstroke V6 is exclusively available in the Ranger Wildtrak 4x4, Ranger Wildtrak X 4x4 and the Everest Platinum 4x4. Moreover, the new Powerstroke V6 is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Also still available is the mighty Ranger Raptor V6, which comes with a 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. It continues to deliver a healthy 397 PS with 583 Nm of torque and is also paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The other available engine is the 2.0L EcoBlue turbo-diesel. It continues to make 170 PS at 3500 rpm along with 405 Nm of torque between 1750 and 2500 rpm. The biggest change in the 2.0L engine, however, is a new timing chain setup, which replaces the outgoing wet belt system. The 2.0L engine is only available in the Everest Wildtrak 4x4, Everest Sport+ 4x2, and the Everest Active 4x2. Like the V6 Powerstroke, the 2.0L Everest gets a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Design-wise, the refreshed Ranger and Everest carry over the rugged and boxy looks. From the stylish C-clamp LED headlights & daytime running lights to the distinct front grille to the eye-catching LED taillights, the refreshed Ranger and Everest lineup still deliver sleek looks. 

However, the Everest Platinum comes with “PLATINUM” lettering on the hood to signify its flagship presence, along with massive 21-inch alloy wheels. Over to the Everest Wildtrak, it comes with "WILDTRAK" decals, Ignite Orange trim accents, and new 20-inch alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, the Ranger Wildtrak X comes with exclusive special upgrades, which include new 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, an increased ride height, and Bilstein dampers for better road comfort and handling. It’s also fitted with additional chassis protection, which consists of a bash plate and a skid plate.

Inside, the 12-inch tablet-inspired touchscreen infotainment system has been carried over for the upgraded Everest & Ranger lineup and continues to support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Also available is a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system (10-speaker B&O in the Ranger), dual-zone climate control, FordPass connected services, a 360-degree camera system, quilted leather seats exclusive to the Everest Platinum, and heated & ventilated front seats with power-adjustability and driver memory function.

Available colors for the upgraded Everest include: Absolute Black, Acacia Green, Aluminum Metallic, and Snowflake White Pearl.

Meanwhile, the Ranger Wildtrak X and Ranger Wildtrak lineup are available in the following hues: Absolute Black, Arctic White, Ignite Orange, and Meteor Gray.
