Ford’s first PHEV Ranger truck isn’t the hybrid you might expect

Ford Ranger PHEV Wildtrak.

The Ford Ranger is the best-selling truck in the UK and Europe. With a wide range of configurations, it is not only popular for those who need a rugged work vehicle, but also as a practical or performance vehicle, thanks to models such as the Raptor, MS-RT or Ranger Platinum.

While smaller than the all-American F-150, which dominates sales on the other side of the pond, the Ranger maintains a global market for being more economical and nimble, though it is still big by UK standards. There has been a hybrid version of the F-150 since 2021 and of the smaller Ford Maverick truck since 2022. However, both of these models were mild hybrids, using the electric power to boost the vehicle’s performance, rather than drive purely on electric power.
