2026 Ford Ranger MS-RT plug-in hybrid

[Jason B]

While I'd like to see more mileage than that it would be very useful for me now. Unless we're heading up to Tucson (about 25 miles each way) everything we need is right near us within 5-10 miles max. Heck some weeks I don't even drive 26 miles if we're driving just in the city here.

I guess another thing would be what kind of MPG it gets.
It would be something to consider if it could up the MPG of a standard ICE Ranger from 24 to 30 or more.

I bet Duke couldn't bear to watch that.

I could “bearly” contain myself, Steve.

Here, let me add some humor. Looks like someone was driving your truck. And he likes it!

Looks like I need a shave….and maybe a shower.

Is there a way to copy or save that to my iPad? It’s too early for me to figure it out.

Yes, you definitely need to shave 🪒 Just don't forget to wear clothes after that. LOL.

There should be 3 dots on the lower right side of the video. Press it and you'll see "download."

Thanks - all I get are playback speed options - maybe I’ll have better luck on my laptop?

Odd, I see the download option.

That figures. Would probably do well here in the States too. But then I should be used to this kind of treatment, VW has all kinds of cool cars the States never got.

GTI Clubsport

Golf R Wagon

Tiguan R

Arteon Shooting Brake (Wagon)

Man I love that shooting brake wagon, never seen it before.
Another is Toyota that sells the GR Yaris I think everywhere but North america, meanwhile all we get is generic cross overs with slight design changes.

The three vertical dots are there on my PC and it worked as expected.

On my iPad, the three dots only show when the video is playing and they are horizontal and contained within a small circle. Weird.

I think my iPad is artificially intelligent.

It's always a bit perplexing to me how company / corporate interest and strategy gets in the way of overwhelming market demand. The fact that they won't sell us the PHEV Ranger which they've made for the rest of the world; confirms to me that the "$30,000k EV truck" is a mid-size. Perhaps it will even be badged as a Rang-Er with a funky lightning bolt on the letter E.

So the Ford US strategy is "Buy what we want you to buy". Got it.

And that right there got them 19.5 billion in EV losses.

You'd think they would learn though.

Well, when gas is $2.50 a gallon in US and $2.50 a Liter in Europe makes sense that they want EVs and high MPG vehicles. And my guess is that their government demands are worse than ours.

If you haven't noticed, very few US citizens want EV anything. What's promised a $30 vehicle, ends up actually being $40k to $45k. (looking at you Elon).

100% agree. If I could get all my PowerBoost stuff in a Ranger I would sell the F150 tomorrow.

But...never going to happen, thanks Ford.

If Ford does not put the same hybrid system in the Ranger that the Bronco will be getting, then I think that is a tell that the NA Ranger is going to be dropped and replaced with a Bronco pickup.
