The Best Just Got Better as Ford Expands and Enhances Ranger Line-Up

“Just like our Ranger customers, at Ford Pro we’re always looking for ways to do what we do better,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe. “These improvements to our Ranger line-up make our pickup even more versatile and capable. Whether it’s towing, off-roading, powering a worksite or hands-free driving on the highway, Ranger does it with confidence.”

The introduction of Ford’s advanced BlueCruise technology makes Ranger PHEV the first pickup in Europe to offer “hands-off, eyes-on” driving – combining with refined PHEV performance to take pickup luxury to the next level.

BlueCruise – standard on the new Ranger Platinum PHEV and optional on Ranger Wildtrak PHEV – became the first system of its kind to receive regulatory approval in Europe in 2023 with the launch in Great Britain. Since then, BlueCruise has been approved for use across 16 European markets, 9 making it the most widely available system of its kind in Europe.

Premium black accents and enhanced design

From footwear to electronic appliances, furniture and interior design – sophisticated black and darker textured finishes are the latest inspiration for Ranger’s enhancements.

The new Ranger Platinum PHEV model features Ebony Gloss Black finishes for the H-shaped front fascia element, grille surround, “Platinum” badges and bonnet lettering, and the load bed sports hoop. A gloss black mesh grille with Dark Chrome centre bar and Silk Chrome foil accents further enhance its front profile. New 18-inch machined-face alloy wheels are designed to maximise the aerodynamics and style of the electric-capable pickup, while the new Acacia Green pearlescent metallic exterior paint is available exclusively on Ranger Platinum.

The interior is enhanced with Dark Chrome detailing as well as Urban Grey stitching for the doors, the steering wheel and the Ebony leather seats that feature a new quilting design inspired by shapes from around the pickup.

“We put a lot of effort into tracking and forecasting colour trends, and it was clear that Ranger needed to ditch the grey in favour of black," said Krista Lindegger, Ranger senior designer. “We anticipated green was going to be really popular with premium truck customers too – and the new Acacia Green option is a colour that really works on trucks."

Across the Ranger line-up, the enhanced pickup now features Ebony Gloss Black, Asphalt Black Matt and Dark Chrome finishes for exterior elements. Interior updates include Gloss Black and Magnetite painted decorative elements replacing chrome or brushed silver for the steering wheel, door panels, instrument panel, centre screen surround, air registers and more.

Other highlights include striking new Ignite Orange Metallic paint and interior stitching exclusive to the Ranger Wildtrak variant. The Ranger design team has even enhanced the Wildtrak seat emblems; they’re now “welded” rather than stitched, just like premium adventure gear.

Available equipment includes Matrix LED headlamps, 360 Zone Lighting, 10-way power adjustable heated and vented front seats and Pro Trailer Backup Assist – all standard for Ranger Platinum models. Ford’s SYNC 4A infotainment and navigation system 10 with a 12-inch portrait touchscreen is now standard across the Ranger line-up, as is a 12.4-inch configurable digital instrument display.

The enhanced Ranger line-up is available to order from the end of December 2025 with deliveries beginning from May 2026.
