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.

I used to have that exact same opinion. But the 2.3 completely changed my mind and I would now choose the 2.3 over the V6.

This article is about the Bronco PHEV but you can bank on the Ranger PHEV being the same: 2025 Ford Bronco PHEV

Not entirely true. Wait times for Escape hybrids and Escape PHEVs is very long. I just got a build date of 07/31/2023 and order was confirmed on 11/04/22 (9 months) for my Escape PHEV.

Ford is in business to make a profit as it should be. The market determines what will be paid for a particular model as it should be. There is plenty of competition in the mid-size pickup sector and if customers are unhappy with the price they will move to a competitor. This is our free...

The all new 2.3 Ecoboost in the new Mustang is also dual injection. I hoping at some point in the future it makes it into the Ranger.

You are braver than me. I plan to hold off a couple of model years to give it time to get past any teething issues. 😬

That would be a tight squeeze. 😉 But, the F-150 Powerboost is a hybrid that combines a 3.5 Ecoboost with the 10-speed modular hybrid transmission. It has more HP and torque than the V8.

Thanks for the information. For me, the tax credit will be more useful.
