The first-ever Ford Ranger PHEV (plug-in hybrid) model debuted back in September 2023, giving fans of the mid-size pickup that reside in certain global markets an electrified powertrain option. Shortly thereafter, we learned numerous details pertaining to that powertrain, as well as what trim levels it will be offered in and a handful of other interesting factoids. Now, order banks for the new Ford Ranger PHEV have officially opened up for one of those markets – The Netherlands.
In The Netherlands, the Ford Ranger PHEV can be had in one of two trim levels – Wildtrak or Stormtrak, the latter of which is a limited-edition launch model sporting unique design cues including a honeycomb grille, fender vents, a decal kit, 18-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlamps, the new and exclusive Chili Gray exterior paint color, Ford’s Flexible Rack System, and a more luxurious cabin with a B&O sound system and special touches throughout. Pricing starts out at €52,887 ($54,394 USD) for the Wildtrak and €58,661 ($60,338 USD) for the Stormtrak.
The 2025 Ford Ranger PHEV pairs the existing, gas-powered, turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine with a 75kW electric motor and an 11.8kWh battery pack to provide a targeted 45 kilometers (28 miles) of all-electric driving range and 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds) of max towing capacity, as well as deliver 279 PS (275 horsepower) and 690 Nm of torque (509 pound-feet), though those figures may vary by market. A new Modular Hybrid Transmission (MHT) resides in between that engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission, while the traction battery is packaged between specially engineered frame rails. On top of that, Pro Power Onboard provides up to 6.9 kW of portable power as well.
The 2025 Ford Ranger PHEV will be built at the automaker’s Silverton Assembly plant in South Africa, and is currently slated for a number of global markets including not only The Netherlands, but also, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The first customer deliveries in The Netherlands are expected to begin by the middle of 2025, where it will join other electrified Blue Oval models such as the Kuga PHEV and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
