Yes, your Ranger was concerned that you were having a medical issue and he was trying to save your life.

The battery pack is much smaller/lighter that a full BEV. Ford’s media announcement says payload and towing have not decreased.

It will have more torque than the Ranger Raptor. It will be a beast. And the Pro Power On Board will be a killer feature. I’ve already been doing a lot of research on how to power my house with it when the grid goes down.

Lots of articles on this today. I hope it comes to North America soon.

Resurrecting this old (but interesting) thread because I stumbled into this Ford of UK website that provides some specifications I have not seen before on the Ranger PHEV: https://www.ford.co.uk/vans-and-pickups/ranger-phev# Here is what was interesting to me: The electric...

A Ranger PHEV will be available in Australia and ROW in 2025. Ford has stated that all Ford Blue vehicles will offer a hybrid power train in the future in the USA. I'm taking that as meaning that the Ranger PHEV will be coming to US but it probably won't be until 2026 (or later). I've been...

This. No jiggling is required. Simply hold the wheel in the 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock position and let the weight of your forearm and hand rest on the wheel. This provides just enough torque on the wheel to keep Lane Centering happy. I was frustrated also until I learned this technique from an...

It wants to feel a slight amount of torque on the wheel. My Escape drove me crazy until I learned how it senses hands on the wheel. My solution is to place one hand on the wheel at the 4:00 o’clock position or the 8:00 o’clock position and let the weight of my forearm apply the torque that it...

Make sure it is the type that is always on (i.e. not activated by low light). This is what I use:

I partially agree with you. The battery technology and charging infrastructure are not ready for BEV adoption by the masses. For HEVs and PHEVs the current battery technology works fine, but they will also benefit from the next generation battery technology. For HEVs and PHEVs the current state...

Sounds like we will be getting a PHEV Ranger (and PHEV Bronco) in North America: Hybrids for entire Ford Blue lineup The key piece in this article is: It was always hard for me to believe that Ford would let the Wrangler 4Xe go unanswered and that strongly suggested we would also...

On the 5G Rangers you could defeat the ASS by plugging in a nite-light into the 120 V outlet on the back of the console.

I don't think Ford is going to let the Wrangle 4xE (a PHEV) go unanswered. So, we can expect a Bronco PHEV to be announced sometime in the near future. Given that the Bronco and Ranger share the same platform, I believe a Ranger PHEV will be coming to the USA and the Bronco PHEV and the Ranger...

It will be a PHEV (Plug-in hybrid EV). This means the battery can be charged by plugging it into a 120 or 240 volt outlet (just like my Escape PHEV). But, a PHEV hybrid also charges the battery by regenerative braking and also by the ICE during normal hybrid driving mode (just like my Escape...

The 4XE is the most popular Wrangler drive train (38% of sales). I think a PHEV Ranger will be just as popular. The Ranger PHEV’s 28 miles of EV range will be more than enough for my typical city/suburban driving. My gasoline consumption will take a dramatic drop. The towing ability will be...

...and please tell us that the USA will eventually get the Ranger PHEV. My heart will be broken if we don't.

I have seen some articles that Ford is working on a PHEV for the Bronco. I think you can bank on that since Jeep already has the Wrangler 4xe (a PHEV). Because the Bronco and Ranger are on the same platform, offer the same power trains (so far) and they go down the same assembly line I am...

True for ROW. Availability for North America likely will be farther out.

Have had our Escape PHEV for almost a month. Same experience as you. We have 400 miles on it and just filled it up for the first time (4 gallons). A Ranger PHEV will be the best of both worlds.

I'm hoping it is a PHEV with a robust Pro Power Onboard. That will be perfect for my needs and it will be able to power my house when the grid goes down.
