The Ranger PHEV's powertrain pairs a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with a 101 hp electric motor tucked inside the transmission's bellhousing. Together, they produce a hefty 279 PS and 690 Nm of torque, outperforming the standard Ranger lineup's gas and diesel models (except for the Raptor).
Ford equipped the Ranger PHEV with an 11.8 kWh battery, giving it an all-electric range of 45 km. Drivers can fully charge the battery in less than four hours, making it practical for daily use.
The truck comes with some nifty features like regenerative braking and Pro Power Onboard, which offers 2.3 kW of power as standard, with an optional upgrade to 6.9 kW. A 10-speed automatic gearbox handles the power delivery, while the e-4WD system, complete with a dual-range transfer box and rear differential lock, ensures capable off-road performance.

Ford engineers tweaked the suspension to accommodate the PHEV's weight distribution. The truck maintains its 1-tonne payload capacity and can tow up to 3,500 kg, matching its conventional counterparts.
Visually, the PHEV variant doesn't stray far from the standard Ranger, with the main difference being a charging port near the fuel cap on the rear fender.
The Stormtrak edition, exclusive to the PHEV, adds some extra flair. It sports new 18-inch alloy wheels, a honeycomb pattern grille, and unique decals. Side gills feature PHEV lettering, and buyers can choose between Chill Grey or Agate Black paint. The interior gets an upgrade too, with high-quality materials, a 10-speaker B&O sound system, and a 360-degree camera displayed on the 12-inch infotainment touchscreen.
Ford will manufacture the Ranger PHEV at its Silverton plant in South Africa. The truck will hit European, Australian, and New Zealand markets in spring 2025. Ford hasn't announced pricing yet but will do so closer to the launch date.
