Ford has unveiled the first-ever plug-in hybrid version of its Ranger pick-up truck.
The model will feature a 2.3-litre petrol engine, together with an electric motor and battery, allowing a targeted range of more than 28 miles on electric power alone.
Ford says this powertrain, which will offer four-wheel drive and selectable drive modes, will deliver more torque than any other Ranger variant. The manufacturer is targeting a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500kg – the same as the rest of the Ranger line-up.
The Ranger Plug-in Hybrid will also feature a Pro Power Onboard system, allowing high-draw power tools and appliances to be plugged into power outlets embedded in both the cargo bed and the cabin.
Production of the Ranger Plug-in Hybrid is due to begin late next year, with the first deliveries in early 2025. Full specs and prices are yet to be announced.
