Between the engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission is a 75kW electric motor, fed by an 11.8kWh battery sitting underneath the tub and on PHEV-specific chassis rails. Ford hasn’t announced combined outputs, though it’s expected to improve on the 222kW and 452Nm figures of the petrol-powered Amarok. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert The carmaker is targeting 45km of electric-only driving range from the electric motor and battery, which can be switched between four drive modes: Auto EV, EV Now, EV Later and EV Charge. Ranger PHEVs retain the turbo-diesel model’s four-wheel drive transfer case with high- and low-range and a locking rear differential. In addition to Eco and Sport modes, there’s also a range of Terrain Management System modes that include Slippery, Tow/Haul, Mud/Ruts and Sand. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert The Ranger PHEV also doesn’t sacrifice the 3500kg towing capacity of its diesel-powered siblings, allowing it to keep up with the pulling ability of most utes on ***** in Australia. Other Ranger PHEV-specific features include up to 6.9kW of available external power, courtesy of a 2.3kW (2300W) outlet in the cabin and two 3.45kW (3450W) outlets in the bed. These outlets can not only be used by tradies on job sites for power tools, but also while camping for appliances. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert Ford is yet to announce pricing for the Ranger PHEV, though it’s expected to come at a premium compared to the V6 turbo-diesel versions of equivalent dual-cab pickup variants. For context, the Ranger XLT tops out at $68,840 before on-road costs, the Sport V6 starts from $71,340 before on-road costs and the most expensive Wildtrak is $74,840 before on-road costs. All examples of the Ranger PHEV will be built in South ******* due to tooling constraints in Thailand, meaning it’ll incur a five per cent import duty as we don’t have a free-trade agreement with South *******. *********** deliveries are due in 2025, though Ford has not yet announced a more specific timeline.
