Today, any car with a hybrid powertrain is still considered to be ultra-modern and high-tech. What can we say about pickup trucks, and even in the version of Plug-In Hybrid – that is, a hybrid with the possibility of recharging. However, this is exactly the version announced for the Ford Ranger pickup truck.
However, the Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid will not be available for sale soon: orders and production will begin in about a year, at the end of 2024; and the first copies are scheduled to be delivered in early 2025. By that time, everything will probably become clearer about the technical characteristics and internal content of the Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid model. Now it is only clear that it stands out from the outside with a pair of hatches on the rear wing and its own wheels.
It is also known that the Ford Ranger hybrid pickup truck will be built on the basis of a version with a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine – it has about 270 “horses”. In addition, in terms of torque, the Plug-In Hybrid version should outperform all other Ford Ranger models – currently the maximum is 600 Nm. So, there is no exact data, but the hints are already clear: the Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid pickup will be able to offer more than 270 hp of power and more than 600 Nm of torque. In addition, this hybrid pickup truck will be able to offer up to 45 km of electric range and the ability to pull a trailer weighing up to 3500 kg.
This is important, because the Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid pickup truck will be an ideal option for construction crews working in areas with closed access for conventional gasoline/diesel vehicles. In addition, the Ford Ranger hybrid pickup can provide power for a variety of equipment – two sockets are already installed in the body. The only question that remains is the price to be paid for such versatility.
