This is the Ford Ranger PHEV and will feature a pure electric range of 45 km along with a 3.5 ton tow rating. Here are the early details!

The Ford Ranger PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) has just been revealed, but not every technical detail is available. Right now, we know that it will be going on sale globally in early 2025, is powered by petrol, offer a tow rating of 3.5 tons and have a pure electric driving range of around 45 km.

The Ranger PHEV is powered by a 2.3-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, paired to an electric motor and battery. Ford says its latest creation features more torque than any Ranger before, but didn’t mention power and torque amounts. If we look at the current Ranger lineup, that means the PHEV will have more than the 600 Newtons offered by the 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel.

Ford has said that it has worked on the chassis and suspension to cope with the additional weight of the battery and electric motor. For what its worth, the standard 2.3-litre offers 210 kW and 415 Nm, and it will be interesting to see how big the battery and motor combination are.

The PHEV componentry is not just for reduced consumption as Ford says it can power and recharge your tools, meaning you won’t need to bring along extension cables and generators. Dubbed “Pro Power Onboard”, this optional feature is also perfect for camping.
