Towing is where utes prove themselves, and where new tech usually gets exposed.
For this Rig or Pig episode, Reuben hooks up the Ford Ranger PHEV and puts it through a real-world tow test.
No brochures, no marketing lines, just how it behaves under load in the conditions that actually matter to people who tow for work or touring.
In this video, we look at:
- How the Ranger PHEV handles weight on the hitch
- Acceleration, drivability, and control while towing
- How the hybrid system behaves under sustained load
- Whether it feels like a proper Ranger when it’s working
Specs are one thing, performance under load is another. This test is about confidence, consistency, and whether the hybrid setup belongs in a working ute.
