2027 Ford Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition revealed as limited-run performance bakkie
Ford has whipped the wraps of the Ranger MS-RT Champion Edition, a new limited-run version of the Blue Oval brand’s street-focused performance bakkie.
Ford has whipped the wraps off the latest Ranger MS-RT (M-Sport Road Technology), with the Blue Oval brand unveiling the Champion Edition at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. Celebrating on- and off-road racing, the limited-run model builds on the original MS-RT formula of its forebears, featuring a selection of street-focused upgrades, while gaining several model-specific design elements. Exclusive to the European market, only 500 examples will be made.
Finished in Agate Black paint – replete with decals featuring gold-coloured stripes on the bonnet, doors, and tailgate – the Champion Edition is also distinguished from the standard variants via the fitment of gold-coloured 21-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Similar to its stablemates, the Champion Edition features honeycomb inserts in the front grille, extended front and rear wheel arches, revised side skirts, a new rear diffuser, and a ‘ducktail’-style rear spoiler. The updated sports suspension, replete with firmer front dampers and a “specially tuned” rear configuration, has been lowered by 40 mm.

I don't know the price, but that screen replacement is going to be eye watering!
Mine developed a rattle behind the screen glass when it was cold. It meant every winter morning, the screen made the sound of sagex box packing material being rubbed together. If I pushed on the glass, the noise went away.
The dealer had a tough time getting the warranty claim for a new screen authorised. Ford SA made us all jump through hoops to prove the issue. Eventually I had to make a video one morning and in that video with no cuts, I had to drive the vehicle and record the noise, record my pushing finger stopping the noise and then I had to swing the phone around to show the door sill sticker proving it was my vehicle by capturing the printed VIN on the video.
I eventually got my new screen and all has been fine. But they fought hard to make me go away rather than replacing.
