Ford Pro launches new plug-in hybrid pickup
Ford Pro is blazing a new trail for plug-in hybrid pickups with the launch of its all-new Ranger PHEV.
The UK’s best-selling, no-compromise new model offers full Ranger towing, payload and off-road performance with electric-only driving ability, extending the comprehensive range of Ford Pro battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Up to 690Nm of torque – the most of any production Ranger – and an EV-only driving range of over 27 miles enhance the appeal of the latest Ranger model. The Ranger hybrid also introduces Pro Power Onboard, enabling customers to power up to 6.9kW of tools directly from the onboard battery rather than needing a generator.
In addition to the Wildtrak and XLT series, Ford Pro is introducing the new model as a PHEV-exclusive Stormtrak launch edition.
“The all-new Ranger PHEV delivers the benefits of electrification hand-in-hand with the hard-working performance that has built Ranger a loyal fanbase in Europe. We have perfected our first PHEV pickup in Europe to be a hugely capable tool for work and off-roading, as well as a premium vehicle with the comfort, connectivity and EV-only capability for family duties,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe.
More than 200,000 Rangers have been sold in the UK since it was launched in 1998, reigning as the best-selling pick-up since 2016. Last year, Ranger accounted for over 45% of the pick-up sector market share, and accounts for over 55% for 2024 year-to-date.
“Having significantly grown market share and been the best-selling pick-up in the UK for eight years in a row, the Ford Ranger is firmly the nation’s favourite truck”, said Mandy Dean, director, Commercial Vehicles, Ford of Britain and Ireland. “The introduction of a new Plug-in Hybrid option for customers enables emission-free driving and more torque when required. The addition of Pro Power Onboard to power tools and equipment again takes Ranger to another level, and means that customers have an even broader range of choices.”
