NEW 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor: What Makes It So Special?


Even though it's almost here, the 2025 Ford Ranger PlugIn Hybrid won't be available for purchase in America. However, the plugin hybrid Ranger will really start making its debut in late 2019. In early 2025, sales will start in Australia, Europe, and New Zealand for the initial variants.

This plugin hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Ranger will have the correct battery and electric motor combined with its 2.3liter fourcylinder powerplant. Although the carmaker withheld details about the electric motor, battery capacity, and combined output system, Ford said that the PHEV setup will provide more torque than any prior Ranger. Although the most potent Ranger currently on the market has a 3.0liter V6 diesel engine with 443 poundfeet of torque, we expect this electric motorassisted setup to outperform it.
Even though the larger Ford F150 gets all the glory, the lesserknown Ford Ranger is just as legendary of a pickup truck. With a brandnew look on the outside and inside, a wealth of available technologies, and the choice of turbocharged V6 engines, the 2024 Ranger should be a bit more powerful and capable. The improvements were well appreciated because the firstgeneration Ranger was uninspired from the beginning. Given the scale of the 2024 modifications, we do not expect Ford to make any significant upgrades to the 2025 Ranger.What Happens to American Customers? In America, buyers of the 2024 Ford Ranger can choose between two engine options: a 2.7liter twinturbo V6 producing 315 horsepower or a 2.3liter turbo fourcylinder producing 270 horsepower. An option with 405 hp is a 3.0 liter twinturbo V6 engine, which is available on the offroadfocused Ranger Raptor. Who will think about what the American people want when they want an electric pickup truck with the Ford nameplate? An spokesperson from Ford told Car & Driver that the Maverick hybrid, the F150 plugin hybrid, and the F150 Lightning EV all demonstrate that Ford believes it has provided options.
