Ford Ranger PHEV priced

FORD Australia has confirmed pricing and specification for its keenly anticipated Ranger PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) due in local dealerships from mid-2025.

Priced from $71,990 plus on-road costs, and topping out at $86,990 +ORC, the Ford Ranger PHEV line-up is up to $10,350 more expensive than the bi-turbo diesel powered model range.

The PHEV line-up will comprise four variants – XLT, Sport, Wildtrak, and limited-edition Stormtrak – each powered by the combination of a 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and 75kW electric motor fed by an 11.8kWh (net) battery.

Ford quotes a combined system output figure of 207kW/697Nm and combined cycle fuel use of 2.9 litres per 100km.

The pairing is channelled to all four wheels via a new Modular Hybrid Transmission (MHT) with the electric motor integrated between the engine and 10-speed automatic transmission.

It offers a range of driving modes typical of such arrangements, including the rather self-explanatory Auto, EV Now, EV Later and EV Charge. Regenerative braking is part and parcel of the combination, accessed by releasing the throttle or engaging the brake.

The 2025 Ford Ranger PHEV can haul up to 973kg of payload (180kg more than any other PHEV ute currently available in the Australian market) and can tow up to 3500kg (braked). Gross Combined Mass (GCM) for Ranger PHEV is listed at 6580kg.

Adding to the pragmatism of the Ranger PHEV is Ford’s Pro Power Onboard system, offering a single 10-amp, 2.3kW socket in the cabin, and twin 15-amp, 3.45kW sockets in the tray. Ford says the system can provide “hours of energy to worksite equipment, campsites, or even a caravan”, delivering up to 6.9kW of total system power.

Across the grade walk we find standard inclusions for the XLT as follows: halogen headlights, fog lights, and DRLs, LED tail-lights and rear fog lights, black grille and side steps, active grille shutter, steel underbody protection, front tow hook, 17-inch alloy wheels with inflation kit spare (spare wheel a no-cost option), and all-season tyres.

The tray bed is finished with a drop-in liner, tailgate assist, protective capping, inner tie down points, illumination and rear step, while the cabin features carpeted flooring (vinyl flooring optional), driver and passenger floor mats, dual-zone climate control, and an acoustic laminated windscreen.

Cloth upholstery is offered as standard in addition to manually adjustable front seats, perimeter alarm, and keyless entry and ignition. These features are joined by a 12.0-inch infotainment array with AM/FM/DAB+ radio reception, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and six-speaker sound.

On the driver assistance side, we find adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage, evasive steer assist, lane keeping assist, reverse brake assist, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, and tyre pressure monitoring system.

Incremental to those features found on the XLT we find the Ranger PHEV Sport (from $75,990 +ORC) with LED frontal lighting, Zone and puddle lighting, dark accented grille and exterior garnishing, sports bar, and dual front tow hooks.

The Sport further offers 18-inch alloy wheels with a choice of all-season or all-terrain tyres, pull-out cup holders, wireless phone charging, rear privacy glass, leather-accented upholstery, eight-way powered driver seat, heated front seats, volumetric and inclination alarm system, ACC Stop & Go functionality, lane centering, and traffic sign recognition.

Ranger PHEV Wildtrak (from $79,990 +ORC) adds Matrix LED headlights with auto-levelling and dynamic bending functionality, auto high beam, Tough Mesh style grille, tray bed sail plane, roof rails, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, aluminium tie-down rails, and a powered roller shutter.

The cabin is enhanced by LED ambient lighting, rear floor mats, a 10-speaker B&O premium audio system, powered passenger seat, leather upholstery, 360-degree camera system, and Pro Trailer back-up assist.

Finally, the limited-edition Stormtrak (from $86,990 +ORC) offers a unique paint colour dubbed Chill Grey, gloss black exterior highlights, R-A-N-G-E-R bonnet lettering, Stormtrak badging and side decals, bespoke 18-inch wheels with full-size spare, as well as flexible load rack and cargo management systems.

Inside, the variant adds Chill Grey and gloss black garnishing, Stormtrak upholstery with Chill Grey accents, and overhead auxiliary switches.

Across the range, prestige paint options (+$700) include Iconic Silver, Carbonised Grey, Lucid Red, Blue Lightning, Agate Black, Cyber Orange (only available on Wildtrak), and Chill Grey (only available on Stormtrak).

Frozen White is available as standard. Prestige Paint is a No Cost Option for the Stormtrak, which is only available in either Agate Black or Chill Grey.

Other options include a full-size spare wheel ($NCO), 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres (+$700), flexible rack system (+$2800), vinyl cabin flooring ($100, XLT only), lift and slide canopy (+$4500), and a commercial canopy in black or white (+$4700).

Bundled option packages include Ford’s Technology Pack with Pro Trailer back-up assist and 360-degree camera (+$950) and Adventure Pack with overhead auxiliary switch bank, and cargo management system (+$500).

“The addition of PHEV to the Ranger lineup marks the first time in history that Australia’s best-selling nameplate has been offered with an electrified plug-in hybrid option, with the backing of an extensive nationwide dealer network,” said Ford Australia president and chief executive officer Andrew Birkic, President and CEO.

“Our Aussie engineering and design team have created a plug-in hybrid that allows diesel ute buyers to begin their electrification journey without sacrificing any of the core capability that they need from a truck – whether they use it for work or play.

“The Ranger PHEV is just the tip of the spear for our commercial EV line-up, with the E-Transit Custom and Transit Custom PHEV set to join E-Transit in our line-up soon.”
