2025 Ford Ranger PHEV Pricing and Specifications

Ford’s 2025 Ranger PHEV announced with detailed pricing and specification. The electrified Ranger is a first for Ford Australia and brings new features for camping fans, tradies and DIYers.

Ford Australia has announced the pricing and specification of the long-awaited RA 2025 Ford Ranger Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). Four variants will be available at launch, including a new Ranger nameplate, Stormtrak. Only one body style is available, the dual-cab pick-up.

The PHEV offers a 297kW/697Nm electrified drivetrain with electric-only operation and a host of new features to add to the Ranger armoury. Prices start at $71,990 and run through to $79,990 for the Wildtrak. The launch edition Stormtrak is $86,990.

Following the welcome return of power sockets in the MY25, the PHEV ups the ante with two more in the tray and a dramatic increase from the ICE Ranger’s 400-watt unit.

This is a story about the Australian-delivered 2025 RA Ford Ranger PHEV line-up, detailed in a January 2025 press release.

The PHEV comes with a raft of changes, some of them slightly obscure. For example, the fuel filler release has a purge button in the cabin to release vapour build-up. This is more common in a PHEV as the ICE engine may not run for long periods and so pressure will build in the fuel tank and filler neck. Unless you hit the button, the fuel flap won’t open.

As you’d expect, a charging port with a lightning bolt icon is sited on the passenger side for AC charging from a domestic socket.

The PHEVs wheels and tyres are wider than the diesel versions to cope with the extra weight of the battery. The tyres are also different and the wheels have modified lip mouldings.

As you can run silently in EV Now mode, the Ranger PHEV has an Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) which operates at up to 30km/h to alert pedestrians and other vulnerable road users to your presence. Tyre noise takes over above that speed, if you’re wondering.

Another advantage of having so much more electricity sloshing around under the cargo bed is 6.9kW of electrical output through domestic power plugs. The cabin has a single 230V/10A socket and the tray has 230V/15A sockets.

Ranger PHEV’s climate control system uses high voltage air conditioning and heating, running off the battery when the engine is off. Perfect for when you’re waiting around and don’t want the engine running.

The XLT reflects the diesel’s MY24 specification. The XLT also allows for the addition of vinyl flooring, the Adventure Pack and a choice of three canopies. The Technology Pack is unavailable and nor is the Flexible Rack System option.

The PHEV driveline is based on the 2.3-litre four-cylinder Ecoboost petrol. On its own the combustion engine produces 138kW and 411Nm. The EV motor is powered by an 11.8kWh battery and produced 75kW on its own.

Combined, the power figure is a reasonable 207kW, out-punching all of the diesels by some margin, even the 3.0-litre V6. The only engine more powerful is the Raptor’s petrol twin-turbo V6. Torque is down on all other engines except the single-turbo diesel in the XL.

However, once you add the electric motor, the torque figure soars to 697Nm.

The transmission is known as MHT or Modular Hybrid Transmission. A ten-speed automatic transmission with the electric motor integrated, the gearbox controls how the wheels are driven, blending engine and EV motor power. A mechanical transfer case sends power to all four wheels at all times.

Regenerative braking will recharge the battery during coasting or light applications of the brakes.

In addition to the off-road driving modes (detailed below), the PHEV has four more to choose from.

Auto EV mode leaves the Ranger PHEV to work things out on its own, relying on the driver’s right foot and driving mode selection. EV Now forces full electric operation, with a range of up to 49km, however real world figures will likely be lower.

EV Later holds the battery’s state of charge and operates as a hybrid. EV Charge means that the battery will charge as you drive to your destination to ensure full power availability at your destination, such as a camp or work site.

The headline combined cycle figure is 2.9L/100km. This is based on a slightly flawed testing regime that does not take into account owners driving more than 100km and is not Ford’s fault.

The 11.8kWh (usable) battery is installed between bespoke frame rails underneath the rear load box and supplies power to the Power Pro system and the electric motor.

Charging is limited to AC charging via the supplied charging pack. This can be plugged in to any domestic socket and will charge the battery at up to 3.5kW depending on the available amperage.

Worst case scenario is just under seven hours from a 10 amp socket from dead to full and four hours flat on a 15-amp socket.

The battery can be used in lieu of a generator or portable battery pack. The cabin has one 230-volt/10-amp socket for a maximum draw of 2.3kW. The tray has two 15-amp sockets with a maximum draw of 3.45kW each.

Total output for the system is 6.9kW and will comfortably power a range of appliances such as a microwave, television, plenty of lights, even a coffee machine. The battery can be recharged by starting the Ranger PHEV in EV Charge mode.

Ford says the system delivers as much power as on-site caravan supplies.

Pro Power Onboard will operate even if the vehicle is locked or is in turn plugged in to charge. When active, the SYNC screen displays the power draw

The Ranger PHEV does cop a weight penalty for the battery, EV and upgraded electrics, but the gains are reasonably modest. As an example, the XLT V6 turbodiesel weighs in at 2349kg while the PHEV version troubles the scales at 2527kg, an increase of just 178kg.

That increase does come at the expense of payload, with the V6’s coming in at 1144kg while the PHEV’s is 973kg, a difference of 171kg, so not bad going really. Ford says that in 2025, the Ranger PHEV’s payload is 200kg greater than its rivals.

It’s worth noting what you gain in payload you lose in EV range as those rivals tend to have larger batteries. The Cannon Alpha PHEV has a claimed EV range of 100km while the Ranger’s is less than half (but a still very useful) 49km.

Cheeringly, the Ranger PHEV is rated to tow 3500kg like the rest of the Ranger line-up, Raptor excepted. With a payload rating of 973kg allied to a maximum specified towball download of 350kg, you’ll still have 623kg to play with in the XLT, however that number does drop considerably in the Sport, Wildtrak and Stormtrak variants.

The payload figures are not as high as about half of the diesel Rangers, so it will require planning if you’re taking a full load of people with you.

An integrated brake controller is standard on all Ranger PHEVs. The Sport can be optioned with the Pro Trailer Back-up assist and is standard on the Wildtrak and Stormtrak.

Back-up assist allows you to “steer” the trailer using the outer ring of the drive mode selector. The driver uses the camera and the ring together to guide the trailer in the right direction, with the system operating the steering wheel.

As with other Rangers, the reversing camera has a hitch view so you can back up to a trailer and get the towball as close as possible to reduce hitching effort. You can also set up a profile for your trailer in the SYNC system to extend the reach of the blind-spot monitoring so it takes account of the extra length of your vehicle with the trailer attached.

In most measurements, the PHEV matches the corresponding diesel variant equivalents. The track is wider at 1630mm (10mm more) and ground clearance lower by between 19mm and 8mm depending on variant.

The Ranger PHEV is also around 20mm shorter in total length and a few millimetres shorter.

As with V6 diesel Rangers, the PHEV has full-time four-wheel drive as standard. Included in the all-wheel drive system is the full range of modes available in the diesel Wildtrak, with just the Raptor’s Baja and Rock Crawl features missing.

The PHEV has Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slipper, Mud/Ruts, Sand and Sport.

Ford says the drive modes adjust gearshift, throttle response, traction and stability controls, ABS “and more.” The “and more” takes on more importance in the EV as torque falls away when the battery drains.

The Tow/Haul mode made its debut on the RA Ranger, intended to optimise gear shift timing to maintain power while climbing and to provide engine braking on descent.

A locking rear diff is standard as with all other Rangers.

Wading depth remains the same at 800mm and approach, departure and breakover angles are all slightly different depending on the variant.

Despite the addition of the high voltage battery pack, there is little change to the tub dimensions. The loading height is 50mm higher and the height at the rear axle centreline is 31mm taller. However, the floor length is 91mm longer than diesel and petrol Ranger dual-cabs which Ford proudly boasts means you could fit two Euro pallets in the bed.

A power roller shutter is standard on Wildtrak and Stormtrak.

The Power Pro onboard points are located on the left-hand side of the tub between the tailgate and the wheel arch.
