The newly announced 2025 [Ford Ranger]() PHEV will be sold overseas but unfortunately isn't coming to North America. "The Ranger PHEV announced today is for Europe, Australia, and New Zealand," a Ford spokesperson told *The Drive*. "For customers in North America looking for a hybrid or electric truck, we currently offer Maverick Hybrid, F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid, and[ F-150 Lightning]()." ![]() **Ford** ![]() **Ford** None of those U.S. options are plug-in hybrids, though. The new Ranger PHEV sets itself apart from the rest of Ford's electrified pickups by offering the flexibility of an internal combustion engine plus a 28-mile electric range. The engine in question is Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which is paired to an electric motor. Ford didn't reveal performance specs for the Ranger PHEV but did claim that it will have more torque than any other Ranger model. For reference, Europe's 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel-powered Ranger makes 443 lb-ft of torque, so expect the PHEV to have even more. The standard EcoBoost-powered Ranger makes 270 horsepower in the U.S. so the PHEV version could have over 300 horses. The Ranger PHEV keeps its four-wheel-drive system, as well as all of its off-road driving modes. It also maintains the Ranger's 7,700-pound towing capacity. ![]() ![]() Much like the F-150 Lightning, the Ranger PHEV will come with Pro Power Onboard capability, which means owners will be able to plug power tools or small appliances for job site or campsite usage. The Ford Ranger PHEV will go on sale in early 2025 in the three aforementioned markets. The [Maverick Hybrid ]()proved that small electrified pickups are in demand in the U.S. and the Ranger PHEV could become just as popular due to its unique electric range and onboard power. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
