The Black Appearance package joined the Ford Ranger lineup for the 2025 model year, bundling a set of darkened exterior elements that sharpen the pickup’s presence. For 2026, Ford is adding a first: an option called Black Appearance Graphics.

Black Appearance Graphics is a collection of exterior graphics designed to set the 2026 Ranger apart from its siblings. There is a caveat: the Black Appearance package is required before the Graphics option can be added, so it can’t be ordered on its own. At the same time, choosing the package doesn’t obligate buyers to add the Graphics kit—those wanting a more understated blackout look can stop at the base package, while others can layer on the graphics for a bolder, more cohesive theme.

At the time of writing, Ford hasn’t detailed exactly what the Black Appearance Graphics option includes or how much it will cost. For reference, the Black Appearance package itself was priced at $895. Both the Black Appearance package and the new Appearance Graphics option are offered exclusively on the Ford Ranger XLT.
