EV Channels Review
The 2025 Ford Ranger PHEV aims to blend traditional Ranger capability with plug-in hybrid efficiency, but the review suggests it's a competent rather than groundbreaking offering. While praised for its refinement, on-road manners, and practical features like the power export capability (3.45 kW max), it falls short in key areas compared to rivals. Off-road, it's deemed better than the BYD Shark but less capable than the GWM Cannon Alpha, lacking a front diff lock and a dedicated rock mode. On-road, it offers a comfortable experience tuned for Australian conditions, but its electric-only range is significantly less than competitors, topping out around 60 km in best-case scenarios, and it only supports slow charging. The reviewer questions its value proposition against a diesel Ranger due to the higher cost and limited EV range, concluding it's a "Swiss Army knife" that does many things well but lacks the "wow factor" of its competitors.
