2025 Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid Is Coming, Just Not to the U.S.

• The 2025 Ford Ranger plug-in hybrid is on the way, but it's not destined for the U.S. market.

• The Ranger's PHEV powertrain will likely make over 443 pound-feet of torque and provide about 28 miles of electric driving range.

• Ford says Americans who want an electrified truck can choose between the hybrid Maverick, the plug-in-hybrid F-150, and the F-150 Lightning EV.

The new Ford Ranger is adding a plug-in-hybrid powertrain, it just won't be available in the United States. Instead, the PHEV variant will be offered in Australia, Europe, and New Zealand, with production set to start at the end of next year before the first models hit driveways sometime in early 2025.

Chart-Topping Torque

The plug-in Ranger features a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor and the obligatory battery pack. While Ford doesn't give specific details about the e-motor, the battery capacity, or the combined system output, the company does claim that the PHEV configuration will provide more torque than any other Ranger. Since the diesel 3.0-liter V-6 that's available overseas is the current leader with 443 pound-feet, we expect the electrically assisted setup to exceed that figure.
