3 Things Sal Hates About the 2026 Ford Ranger Sport PHEV
1️⃣ Limited Electric Range
For a plug-in hybrid, the electric-only range just isn’t as strong as many buyers will expect in 2026. Around-town driving can still lean heavily on the petrol engine, which reduces the real-world benefit of plugging it in — especially if you’re hoping to do most daily commutes on EV power alone.
2️⃣ It’s Expensive for What It Is
There’s no getting around it — the Ranger Sport PHEV carries a hefty price tag. Once you step into this trim, you’re paying a serious premium over regular Ranger models, and that makes it harder to justify unless you truly need the hybrid tech. For many buyers, the value equation won’t stack up.
3️⃣ Ride Comfort Is Compromised
While it’s still a capable ute, the added weight of the hybrid system impacts ride comfort, particularly over rough roads and bumps. Compared to non-hybrid Rangers, it can feel firmer and less settled, which takes away from everyday comfort — especially when driving unladen.
