Ranger Super Duty to feature 8-stud wheel hub

Ford has revealed that Ranger Super Duty will be equipped with an eight-stud wheel hub.

Shared with F-250 Super Duty, the heavy-duty wheel hub was selected to provide enhanced strength and load-carrying capacity. It will combine with a tough 18-inch steel wheel and 33-inch all-terrain tyre.

“The eight-stud configuration offers a significant advantage in terms of load capacity and ensures an even distribution of weight across the wheel,” said Ranger Super Duty Engineering Program Supervisor, Drew O’Shannassy

“This is important for a vehicle like Ranger Super Duty, which will be expected to frequently carry and tow heavy loads. The wheel and tyre we’ve selected provide a great combination of strength, grip and reliability that our hard-working customers need. Our testing is pushing this vehicle to the limit so that customers can be confident in its capability.”

Ranger Super Duty will arrive in Australia and New Zealand in 2026.
