Ford Ranger PHEV review: The best-selling pick-up goes plug-in hybrid

The Ford Ranger PHEV is available in three trims: XLT, Wildtrak and the launch-edition Stormtrak - (The Independent/Steve Hogarty)

Whereas passenger cars and commercial van fleets are rapidly electrifying, the pick-up might just be the last holdout in the transition to EVs – especially in the UK.

The Ford F-150 Lightning proved that electric trucks are possible in a country that pays little attention to weight limitations, but the fully electric version of the most popular car in America is simply too massive for our roads. The Tesla Cybertruck is plainly silly and about as road legal in the UK as a skip full of knives. Your only option for an EV hauler in the UK, the Maxus T90 is an honest-to-goodness electric pick-up, albeit with asthmatic towing ability.
