Caption: Ford to Discontinue 2.0-Litre Diesel Engine in Ranger Pickup, Shifting to Plug-in Hybrid. Ford will phase out the 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine from its Ranger pickup by early 2026. The shift to a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model signals a focus on eco-friendly technology for the brand. The 2.0-litre EcoBlue engine, once praised for its performance, will be replaced by the 3.0-litre V6 EcoBlue and 2.3-litre EcoBoost PHEV. The Ranger Raptor will remain available with either the 2.0-litre EcoBlue or 3.0-litre EcoBoost engine. Ford’s decision reflects the brand’s confidence in the PHEV as a viable option for both work and leisure use. The shift to a PHEV model will increase costs, with the plug-in version priced £2,500 more than the diesel models. The new Ranger PHEV offers up to 27 miles of electric-only driving and a total power output surpassing current diesel options.
