Tailgaters unite.
did not expect u here?!
Keep up the good work Paul !!!
What would the fuel consumption and power figures be like after the battery is flat? For touring say?
Can't wait to see your review on the wildtrak x version
Hybrid might be interesting when 4wding or camping, saves the trouble for a dual battery setup.
About time 👍👍
Is Adblue fairly new to the ranger there? My 2018 ranger had Adblue.
Does your normal Ranger don't have Ad Blue? My 2016 Ford Ranger has Ad Blue and i have a lot of Problems with it.
wow electrified version of the ranger that's nice and well it's took three years to develop 🤯
Awesome, keen for when the announce the Everest PHEV 😍 if I could wait till 2025 for my Ranger wildtrak I’d definitely hold out for the PHEV
Me to
Was about to put money down on a bi-turbo Everest then paused when I heard about the PHEV. Diesels will be phased out eventually and spending $70k on one is a losing proposition
@@Cr0waySpending 100k on the PHEV however is basically like an investment….
I just watched this launch on the news, what concerns me is delivery times and costs to consumers. Then there’s the alleged after sale challenges. Ford needs to address the current product supply and service before ramping up a new line, at an increased cost.
do not go near any EV ford has produced, its an absolute disaster. Ford as a whole is in the toilet
is that a GWM Cannon XSR I see parked behind you Paul?? Please review the XSR when you get the opportunity for people like me who can’t afford a +$90k ute 😊 great reviews Paul! Keep up the great work CE team 👍
Coming soon!
@carexpert hi Paul, have you heard anything about a Ranger FX4 coming out? And if it might have the 2.3t petrol engine option to be a mini raptor
Very very impressive fuel economy figure, though normal use without using the ev range would have a higher fuel economy. Hopefully its still less than the claimed diesel consumption.
Very excited to see more.
Will you be reviewing the wildtrak x soon?
This might be a stupid question. Is this similar to other hybrids whereby the engine charges the battery. Or is it simply using a combination battery and fuel? I currently have a 2019 raptor, used for city to rural driving three times a week as the main purpose. Not towing etc.
Will likely have an ev only drive mode of like 27 miles. I want it.
just like the E transit, ford has massively underestimated the range requirements for most Australians.
I didn't word that perfectly, yes the majority of people by numbers live in city's and don't travel far. but my imperfect point was about ute buyers and tradesmen, even if your site is 20km from home 1-2 trips for material or hardware and your out of charge, I routinely go through 2 600km tanks of fuel in a week and I'm not an edge case. this tiny range does not serve the current dual cab market @@Tommmmmmmmmmmm
That lime green colour is cool I love 💕 it .
With over a third of aussies homes on solar, being able to charge it from solar for free will provide us with essentially free driving around town. And the extra torque on tap will be perfect for off road.
Cool, but not what i wanted (i wanted this about 5 or more years ago). At this point, i really want an all electric ranger. I dont need a f150 sized truck and im addicted to electric at this point. It will definitely help move people that can't or won't go full electric.
That it has vehicle-to-load like the electric F-150 does, I can see this being very popular on worksites!
Hey Paul, when you doing the hilux gr sport ?
Finally. I have been waiting for the PHEV petrol option. I drive 14KM each way each day and have 30Kw solar on my roof at work. Most of my trip is at 50Km/h which the current ranger diesel hates and blocks my EGR regularly.
Ho did you get a 30kw pv system? We are only allowed 5kw here in WA☹
@@xylosfurniture Its a commercial system, in NSW you can go 30Kw for small scale commercial.
@@CallsignViprVIPR Makes sense thanks. I wish they would allow bigger systems to residentials.
How about the ranger raptor? Any update for 2024-2025?
Thinking this will only be on the Ranger & not filter through to the “Same as” Amarok??
What happens with power, torque and fuel economy when you are towing after 45km?
Typically a PHEV will retain 20% battery charge for situations where it needs extra power. It’s only if you’re towing at 100% throttle for an extended period where that 20% will drain and you’ll be left with the petrol engine alone.
You better find a charging station real fast
@@powderskier5547it’s not a full EV, so that’s a lie
Hybrids are a good balance between full EV and ICE.
Really hoping the battery tech can keep up because that seems to be the limiting factor.
Question for Paul. you mentioned some of the other competitors Mitsubishi notably has said nothing is coming at this stage.
Given Nissan will be the next to launch something with Navara due for an update soon do you think they will utilise E-power as it seems to be the pick of the X-Trail fleet at the moment??
They are getting close with battery technology. All that's left to figure out is to extend the range of battery engines to exceed the range current combustion engines. They have already done a good job making battery engines powerful and fast.
Hey Paul is Diesel engines incompatible with plug in hybrid system or is it cost cutting? I’m confused
At a pure guess, it's probably to save weight
Good update 👍
Apprx 100k, ouch!
Cheers
I really hope this comes to the US and they finally bring the Everest too
The Everest is a bus, i hired one last interstate trip and would never get in one again....
I am more eager to see what byd bring rather than ford and toyota.. Their recent vehicle have been amazing along with pricing that can be justified
can i use this car truck
without fuel in it,driving in the range of 45km
The idea of a Everest PHEV is also interesting. I do wonder about how that'll affect the GVM though; maybe it would have to come as a 5-seater only to squeeze in there. But we shall see, if/when it happens.
I think the XC90 PHEV is a 7 seater so if Ford does release a PHEV Everest they would figure it out
@@Mustansirtaher6 That's genuinely really helpful to know. Thank you!
@@rexthesheep no problem
Really keen for the Everest version. Hopefully it doesn't cost 100k though, because at that point, it has to be justifiable over a 300 series landcruiser. And that's a tough sell. Even at 90k that's close enough to upsell to a landcruiser.
300 is a superior vehicle in every possible way.
PHEV is definitely the way to go for Dual Cab 4WD's, yes more to service but heaps more flexibility. Will be very interesting how it compares to the GWM Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T PHEV, we do know that has 105km pure EV mode and simmilar power/torque.
way to go ? more flexibility ? LOL.. you been living under a rock mate ?
Obviously, never really studied batteries... "heaps more flexibility" ???? If you count stopping a Zillion Times to Recharge, and then go again, a dismal, few hundred miles, "flexibility", then YOU go get one... The rest of us - no thank you...
@@frandanco6289 the comments under this video seem like they’ve all been paid to post nonsense lol. Ford are paying big bucks to keep their lemons under wraps
@@frandanco6289 Yeah flexibility when the thing loses $50k in value once you drive out of the dealers lot. 🤣
Really glad to see the best-looking ute is getting a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but they ruin the plug-in cap. Instead, they should use the black plastic piece with "PHEV" on it to be the charging port cap.
Cool Daddy O. Except the price of cars these days is crazy eh!
A very practical interim solution that offers grunt, sufficient EV range for my needs, and excellent fuel economy for longer journeys. I’m thinking seriously about cancelling my Wildtrak X order
If they do a PHEV Ranger in US, it Will be my next truck, 100%. I love my 2022 Ranger Lariat 4x4.
Watching this from NZ where Ranger sales are still a huge proportion of new vehicle sales. The announcement of the Hybrid Ranger (plus Hilux etc) must surely slow down those sales while buyers wait for this. The Outlander ICE sales have dried up in favour of the hybrid, but will the same thing happen to the Ranger?
Not for $100,000 they won’t be waiting
Do you think they will release a Raptor PHEV?
isn't the great wall cannon hybrid coming next year? 258kw and 615nm torque is what i read
Shanhai Cannon Hi4-T but maybe the standard Cannon in Hi4-T, plus the Tank 500 Hi4-T and maybe all 3 next year.
awesome....

The PHEV Ranger has just been made available for sale in Australia.
!
Great trucks for the cheque book Charlie’s, 🤓
what color is it? white or mooniest silver?
I had a xlt bi turbo due for delivery in December. I just changed it to a PHEV. So I'm waiting till 2025 🤷♂️
It can only deliver those power numbers while the battery is fully charged and this will go down if you tow a caravan up a mountain for example.
Sounds good.
In the USA Ford has a smaller truck called the Maverick...that seems it it would make a good EV also
Be interesting to see how much our power bills go up. If everyone starts charging vehicles, will that overload the power stations? Considering they struggle on a hot day with everyones air conditioning going. 🤔🤔🤔
lol tell that to Labour and the Greens...Also What if its a shady day with no wind ??
I think the f150 system is superior. As I understand it, the internal combustion engine is used at a fixed RPM and constant load which is the most effecient / economical way to run, to drive the generator / motor to produce electricity for the battery to store. The electric motor uses the electricity from the battery which is the most effecient / economical and instant max torque to drive the transmission etc. Plus the added advantage of the abillity to power your house for a couple of days or a camp site for a week.
Super keen, but it's a long wait...
GWM Shanhai Cannon 2.0 Hi4-T outputs 300kw 750nm. Better Borgwarner 4WD system. 105km pure electric range. 790km combined.
Feel like you’d be cranky if you just got a raptor and then found out you can get one that drinks a 1/4 of the fuel and has more power 😅
Will they keep the 10 speed auto?
The 10R80 is the electric motor. It’s an adaption onto the front of the box, hence why the firewall has so much room in the current version. They already had this in mind when developing the RA.
2025, just in time for the FBT EV incentive to end for PHEVs. Ford missed that opportunity.
FFS give me full electric with range and layout similar to the Rivian.
Standard Paul gotta give ford a nice little kiss on the tip.
Havnt done that in 5 minutes 😂
Hi, when you gonna review the new 2024 Honda CR-V?
As soon as they get one to us :-)
A plug in dual cab wouldn't have one as a gift thanks.😊
All electric 170 mile version ?
Fleets and councils wont pay $100K for a dual cab unless it comes with a full time driver included,
Yep, they'll be buying BYDs. Mainstream car manufacturers have gone nuts with their pricing. They all seem to be targeting the top end of the market & leaving the base level stuff to the Chinese. The high end brands are increasingly being produced in China now too so it's becoming a bit of a rort.
How much it would cost? 100K?
I hope they do a 7 year warranty as beautiful as fords are we all know they have their days 😅
Looking forward to an electric ute comparison video soon ?? ⏳️
@3.20 "the power and torque they were hoping for." People in the comments seem to this that these figures and the fuel consumption figure given later are accurate. These are advertising figures intended to make people excited and want the product.
So far, the consumption on the everest is almost 30% above the advertised. Very disapointed.
@@xylosfurniture I am sorry to hear that but thank you for your comment. I hope that others are paying attention.
My goodness.. Ford needs to get the US Ranger out of the barn door first... We have been waiting and still waiting on the Ranger to roll off the lines... Tick Tock- lets see it!
Gwm cannon in background
why don't they pair it with the 2L diesel? 🤔 probably will get more torque and even better fuel economy figures..
The torque in electric is delivered low down, whereas the torque from a petrol engine is higher up the rev band so they make a better combination. Also a diesel hybrid would make an expensive vehicle even pricier
I see!, it's all about the overall performance then. by the way, I guess the additional battery pack will be quite nice for camping!@@martinbarker7500
The GVM regulation is a killer down under. They would rather have people tow things with light vehicles without proper trailering capabilities…?
Pls pls Ford Living in South Africa we have planned blackouts for 6-10 hours daily .we need phevs that can run our homes or shops while we have blackouts then fast charge in between blackouts like outlander does..not only hand power tools but my home to 😊
Funny how that trend is spreading yet the bastards in charge are not affected.
Africa is a basket case
hello paul when you gonna review the new Hilux grs
Once they get us one to review :-)
Problem in the UK will be the price of electricity is extremely expensive, im sure the government have realised that the revenue from fossil fuels is diminishing so they have put electricity prices up in anticipation for this, not sure about Australia, I dont need my truck to do 0-60 in a second so they can keep them until we get reasonable prices for electricity in my country anyway
4wd?
If they'd developed this with V6 it'd be somewhat tempting. Then again, what's it all going to cost? And resale. Nah. Ive already talked myself out of it. I'm happy with my V6!
the 4cyl is faster, and with hybrid it would be much better on fuel than the v6
You have taken good advice from yourself. 😊
@929cosmodude the bigger the engine the better for me personally. If they brought out a V8 and it was slower and guzzled the fuel, I'd buy it. Something about a big thirsty V8 that no electric vehicle will ever replace
@@DrainCleaningAUSTRALIAwell considering this will do 0-100 in around 5-6 seconds with around 800Nm. Not sure why you would want a pathetic V6.
@2.52 min "It won't take much to actually exceed that limit and make your vehicle illegal on the road." This is a $100 000 ute that has negligible payload capacity. Are people getting this?
I would be in if they make electric raptor that has 500hp combined…
$100k is WAY too much. They need to release a base level spec at a small premium above the current 2WD base price of mid to high $40k range. Its only going to have a small battery, so extra cost shouldn't be huge. If they start this range at $60k on road I'll be at the front of the queue...otherwise I'll be buying something else. It's a work ute, not a sports car, $100k is a ridiculous notion.
I would prefer a hybrid that regen’s via engine and braking, not a plug-in.
Why not have a hybrid bi-turbo diesel 3 litre v6, electric = torque so that with the diesels torque surely is a good idea.
It will still reduce fuel economy, maybe not as much as a plug-in but i’d like to see it.
Plug ins do regen via engine and braking also... They wont have the V6 because of space and weight, with the batteries you'd have an absolute tank... would most likely be the 4cyl twin turbo.
Hope they don’t catch fire from the batteries
Tell me why U haven’t reported on the Everest Raptor ???
U Know 😊 Won’t be long 😍😍😍
Who in thier right mind would buy a plugin hybrid in victoria
Definitely interesting, would want to see if it does hit that 45km range in the real world, meaning it can go 45kms fully loaded and a bit more unloaded.
No these are UNLOADED kms
HI Cobba
How much $$
How many times can these journalists mention a fuel consumption figure of a PHEV without at least explain to the audience that it means for the FIRST 100km starting with a fully charged battery.
On top of that, the fridge fuel economy figure should have a rating for Hybrid mode, eg, when the battery is flat.
These vehicles are still insanely priced, but now the public thinks they actually need them. Well done marketing.
Lets not fix the Diff and gearbox issues, lets go electric and hope that fixes it.....
I do not see the sense of theses thing if they are only going to do 45 kms on the battery charge, not everyone lives in the cities.
Ford must do a full EV Ranger.
Make a hybrid, not a plug-in and it would sell much better!
Hybrids make a lot of practical sense, but they're just not as exciting as the fully electric vehicles like the lightning.
Lol!!!!! In Australia with those EVs don't even attempt to go to the outback
@@alanmay7929 Only about 5% of Australians live in the outback.
Scotty is going to be pissed off. It might even ruin his weekend.
Hilux gr？
Another day another ranger
Why a plug-in model? Who will remember to plug it in? What I want is self-contained hybrid system like Toyota or even like Honda. It's all a bit disappointing. It is not worth plugging in for a 45Km range.
@56 sec, admittance that Ford tracks their customers. Have been seen the latest news stories on this? very very concerning. They are using cameras, microphones and many apps to watch and listen and track those in the vehicle.
@2.40 your payload capacity is reduced to nothing. Do people understand this? From reading some of the comments, obviously not.
PHEV is a waste of time and expense. The vehicles cost more, you still have all the maintenance costs associate with a combustion engine vehicle and you still need to purchase fuel to run this vehicle. On top of this you need to in Victoria, pay the EV per kilometer road tax. Don't waste your money on these types of vehicles.
I call Bull ! They said this three years ago
