2026 Ford Super Duty King Ranch: Plainwell Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Ford Super Duty King Ranch
King Ranch starts at $77,975 on F-250, $79,270 on F-350, and $94,890 on F-450, all before destination — and unlike lower trims, it comes standard with the 7.3L gas V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft) rather than the base engine, with the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel available for buyers who want both the heritage styling and the strongest available towing numbers. King Ranch's signature move is the interior: Kingsville Antique leather seating, a chrome grille with Caribou-pattern inserts, power deployable running boards, and a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed Sound System, all layered onto a chassis that can still be ordered as a genuine work truck underneath.

Western styling on a truck built to actually work
King Ranch's identity has always been the interior treatment, and 2026 doesn't change that formula: Kingsville Antique leather on the seats, a distinctive chrome grille with Caribou-branded inserts, and a badge that's meant to be recognized from a distance. What's easy to miss is that none of that comes at the expense of capability. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard, the 12-inch cluster display includes a head-up display, and power deployable running boards with a power tailgate and retractable step make loading and unloading easier on a truck that's still meant to see real trailer duty, not just parking-lot appearances.
The standard 7.3L gas V8 is worth calling out specifically, because it's easy to assume the top two trims default to diesel. They don't — 7.3L gas is standard on both King Ranch and Platinum, with the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel available for buyers who want the added torque. For King Ranch buyers who tow occasionally rather than constantly, the gas V8's lower service cost and simpler maintenance is a real consideration against the diesel's extra pulling power.
What King Ranch buyers say
Tim H. described the kind of trust-building experience that tends to matter most at this price point, after 52 years of car buying: "At 52 years old I have never left a car dealership and been completely satisfied. My experience with Rob was efficient/kind/and open about what the price would be. I had an issue with the truck about 3 months after purchase, truck was bought used as is, and he got everything fixed and quickly." That combination — straightforward pricing up front, and follow-through after the sale — is a common thread through Zeigler Ford of Plainwell's higher-end truck reviews.
Frequently asked questions
Does King Ranch come standard with a diesel engine?
No — the 7.3L gas V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft) is standard on King Ranch. The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel is available for buyers who want more towing capability.
What's included in the Kingsville Antique leather package?
It's the standard seating material on King Ranch, not a separate option — leather-trimmed front and rear seats with the King Ranch brand's signature look and stitching pattern, paired with Caribou-inspired grille inserts and badging elsewhere on the truck.
Is King Ranch available on F-450?
Yes, in Crew Cab, 4WD configuration only — like Lariat and up, King Ranch is not offered in the lighter cab styles or 4x2 drivetrain on the F-450 chassis.
How does King Ranch compare to Platinum?
Both share the standard 7.3L gas V8 and available High Output diesel; the differences are mostly styling and interior theme — King Ranch's western leather versus Platinum's more contemporary luxury treatment, along with Platinum's standard 20-inch wheels and head-up display across a broader equipment set.
