DUNTON, UK - Ford today unveiled the new Ranger MS-RT PHEV pickup and E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT multi-activity vehicle, designed and engineered in a close collaboration between Ford’s global team and the specialists at MS-RT – an offshoot of Ford’s rally partner M-Sport.
Making their global debuts at the 2025 IAA Mobility event in Munich, Germany, the two new electrified MS-RT models follow hot on the heels of the Ranger MS-RT and Transit Custom MS-RT van launched in 2024. Like those successful models, Ranger MS-RT PHEV and E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT feature muscular body styling and unique specification to create ultimate street vehicles for owners who never sit still and businesses that want to make a real statement.
Ranger MS-RT PHEV is derived from the all-new Ranger PHEV – the first plug-in hybrid variant of the pickup that has been Europe’s best-seller for the last 10 years, while the E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT is based on Ford’s electric E-Tourneo Custom multi-activity vehicle.
“Ford has worked with MS-RT to infuse our no compromise Ford Pro vehicles with true motorsport DNA,” said Brendan Lyne, director, Marketing and Sales, Ford Pro Europe. “The result is models like the new Ranger MS-RT PHEV and E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT – irresistible to customers who need flexibility for work and play, love the racing look and live an adventure-packed lifestyle.”
Both new MS-RT models are available to order through Ford dealers across Europe from Tourneo Custom MS-RT will be on show at IAA Mobility from September 8-14.
Ranger PHEV get the MS-RT treatment
Ranger PHEV MS-RT’s styling is inspired by extreme Ranger racing trucks. A honeycomb grille and integrated splitter at the front, distinctive rear bumper with integrated diffuser, sculpted side skirts and lower stance from bespoke suspension make the pickup instantly recognisable. But the enhancements aren't just for show.
That suspension, for example, has been optimised with revised dampers at the front, a retuned rear set-up and an overall 40 mm height reduction. This delivers comfort, capability and greater handling precision and stability through corners. The ducktail spoiler on the rear tailgate and the cab spoiler also help increase stability at higher speeds. They've been optimised using computer simulations to enhance overall aerodynamic balance.
Track width is increased by 40 mm each side for better grip and stability. That requires flared wheel arches that extend the overall width by 82 mm front and rear, housing diamond cut 21-inch wheels with low‑profile 275/45 R21 tyres.
E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT puts the “style in “lifestyle”

E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT ‘s exterior features an aerodynamic front bumper with integrated spoiler, sports side skirts and a sports rear quarter including a bumper with integrated diffuser. A coast-to-coast LED light strip between the headlights adds even more road presence, especially when combined with exclusive exterior colours including Turini Purple, Fast Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Sunset Orange and Yellow Green, as part of an extensive palette.
Like the Ranger MS-RT PHEV, the E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT rear spoiler has been optimised for airflow using computer simulations, while 19-inch Anthracite alloy wheels are a half-inch wider than standard and reduce unsprung mass by just over 1 kg per corner while helping increase total track width by more than 50 mm over standard. Combined with low-profile 235/45 R19 tyres, this means more grip and cornering stability while still delivering comfort.
Tourneo Custom MS-RT PHEV and EcoBlue diesel variants are also available. The 233 PS plug-in hybrid model features a 2.5-litre petrol engine and a 11.8 kWh battery offering flexible performance and electric-only driving capability, and the 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel version delivers 170 PS with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and with optional intelligent all-wheel drive.
