Ford Pro is redefining the pickup market by introducing the all-new Ranger Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), launched at the IAA TRANSPORTATION show. Known for dominating the European market, the Ford Ranger is now more versatile, combining its legendary toughness with innovative electrification technology.
Unmatched Power and Performance
With an unprecedented 690Nm of torque, the new Ranger PHEV boasts the highest torque of any production Ranger, making it ideal for those seeking powerful towing, payload capabilities, and off-road performance. This hybrid pickup delivers 279PS and offers a pure electric range of over 27 miles, ideal for emission-free urban driving. The hybrid battery can be fully charged in under four hours using a standard charger, providing convenience for on-the-go charging.
Pro Power Onboard: A Game Changer for Work and Play
One of the standout features of the Ranger PHEV is the Pro Power Onboard system, offering up to 6.9kW of power for tools or camping equipment. Whether on a job site or off-grid for a weekend getaway, Ranger owners can power heavy-duty equipment like lights, fridges, and tools without needing a generator. This is a first for Ford’s pickup line, making the Ranger PHEV perfect for work and adventure.
Stormtrak: A Limited-Edition Launch Model
Leading the global debut is the limited-edition Stormtrak model, featuring exclusive styling elements like 18-inch alloy wheels, a honeycomb grille, and bold decal kits. The premium Matrix LED headlights, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, and a 360-degree camera are included to maximize functionality and comfort. The Stormtrak’s luxurious cabin comes with a 10-speaker B&O sound system and unique interior materials, ensuring a top-tier driving experience. Available in an exclusive new Chill Grey or Agate Black, the Stormtrak takes the Ranger to a whole new level of sophistication and performance.
Designed for Europe’s Most Demanding Customers
Ford has carefully designed the Ranger PHEV to meet the growing demand for electrification while maintaining the robust performance customers expect. Powered by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost petrol engine paired with a 75kW electric motor, the Ranger PHEV not only surpasses the torque of its diesel counterparts but also enhances fuel efficiency. The e-4WD system ensures exceptional off-road capabilities, complemented by a dual-range transfer box and rear differential lock.
Ford has also equipped the Ranger PHEV with several driving modes—Auto EV, EV Now, EV Later, and EV Charge—giving drivers flexibility in how they use battery power. Whether tackling rocky terrain or cruising through city streets, the Ranger PHEV delivers power, efficiency, and off-road confidence.
Supporting the Best-Selling Ranger Legacy
With over 200,000 units sold in the UK since its 1998 launch, the Ford Ranger continues to dominate the pickup market, holding more than 55% of the market share in 2024. The introduction of the PHEV model ensures that the Ranger continues to be the go-to pickup for both work and play, catering to the evolving needs of customers who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing performance.
Spring 2025: A New Era for the Ford Ranger
Production of the Ranger PHEV will take place in Silverton, South Africa, with initial deliveries expected in spring 2025. It joins the diesel-powered Ranger lineup, offering customers greater choice while aligning with emissions regulations across Europe.
Advanced Technology for Efficiency and Productivity
