When it comes to towing, camping, and off-roading, Aussies know what they need in a vehicle. That’s why the Ford Ranger has become a favorite among adventurers and hardworking individuals alike. Since its debut in 2011, the Ranger has revolutionized the ute segment on a global scale. It has transformed from being just a work vehicle into a versatile companion that can handle any task thrown its way. “We see our customers take it to the most extreme off-road locations and then see them parking in tight city streets and unloading their groceries and kids. A Ranger is a do-everything, go-everywhere vehicle,” says Birkic, a representative from Ford. Exciting news has recently emerged from Ford: the Ranger will soon be available as a Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), set to arrive in early 2025. This means that the Ranger PHEV can be driven in pure electric mode for over 45 kilometers without using any fuel or producing tailpipe emissions. Not only will this help customers save at the pump, but it also aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation options. With more than half of Ranger customers traveling 40 kilometers or less per day, they will be able to complete their average daily commute on electric power alone. In addition to its impressive electric capabilities, the Ranger PHEV will feature the Pro Power Onboard function. This innovative feature allows tradies to power their tools directly from the vehicle, eliminating the need for separate generators. Furthermore, it enables campers to light up their campsites when venturing off-road,… Read More
