BEST HYBRID UTE FOR CAMPING & TOWING IN 2025 | PHEV WINNER!

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive comparison evaluates the BYD Shark 6, GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV, and Ford Ranger Sport PHEV for their suitability as camping and towing vehicles in Australia. While the BYD Shark 6 excels in urban environments and offers a comfortable, quiet ride, it struggles under heavy towing loads and off-road conditions, with its drivetrain showing weaknesses. The Ford Ranger Sport PHEV, despite its refined on-road manners and capable off-road performance, is significantly hampered by its high price and a smaller battery, limiting its V2L capabilities. The GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV emerges as the surprising winner. Although it doesn't excel in any single area, it performs competently across towing, off-roading, and V2L functionality, offering a balanced package. However, a critical failure of its trailer electrics and vulnerable battery placement were noted, raising concerns about long-term reliability.
