2025 Ford Ranger Hybrid: Watch Before You Buy!
The Ford Ranger is set to advance its journey towards electrification by introducing a petrol plug-in hybrid option, expected to be available in late next year or early 2025 in Australia. While electric trucks are already on sale in both Australia and the United States, the Ford Ranger plug-in hybrid will be the second vehicle of its kind in the market, following a new truck from Chinese manufacturer BYD, also expected next year.
Despite predictions that plug-in hybrids would be a popular transitional technology towards fully electric vehicles, consumer interest has been relatively low. These vehicles offer about 50 kilometers of electric driving before the petrol engine takes over for longer distances. However, in Australia, plug-in hybrids have not gained much traction, making up only 0.7 percent of new car sales this year. In contrast, nearly 60,000 hybrid cars and 57,000 fully electric cars have been sold, each representing around 7.5 percent of the total market.
Ford executives recognize that customer acceptance of plug-in hybrids in the truck market is uncertain. They believe the technology could be advantageous for customers who need to power tools or provide electricity for camping trips. When fully charged, the Ford Ranger plug-in hybrid can drive up to 45 kilometers on battery power alone. After the battery is depleted, the 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine—also found in the Ford Mustang and Focus ST—offers an estimated range of over 600 kilometers under ideal conditions.
Ford's data shows that nearly half of Ranger owners travel less than 40 kilometers a day, fitting within the vehicle's electric-only range. The plug-in hybrid system is expected to be available in several Ranger models, including a variant targeted at fleet operators. The Ranger plug-in hybrid will maintain the diesel models' 3500-kilogram towing capacity, but not when driving in electric-only mode. The exact towing capacity in electric-only mode has not been disclosed.
Ford has upgraded the suspension to ensure the added weight of the hybrid technology does not affect the vehicle's payload, though the final payload capacity has yet to be announced. The company states that the plug-in hybrid Ranger will have more torque than any other Ranger model, surpassing the turbo-diesel V6 and the turbo-petrol V6 Raptor, but has not revealed the exact torque figures.
