Ford unveiled the Ranger for global markets in November 2021, but without saying anything about a plug-in hybrid setup. We now know it's officially going to happen at some point in 2023. However, the Amarok with which it shares the revised T6 platform won't follow suit since Volkswagen argues the unspecified electric range simply isn't enough. For the time being, the German ute will stick to four- and six-cylinder engines, topped by the V6 TDI.
Speaking with Autocar and Drive during a media presentation for the 2023 Amarok held in Wolfsburg, a member of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' marketing team shared a juicy tidbit. Lars Krause said "we're looking at a pure electric version. It is still early, but it is something we are considering within the lifecycle."
