The electrified powertrain option unlocks more power and torque compared to the existing 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel
Ford has introduced a PHEV powertrain option for the Ranger MS-RT. The street truck has a combined output of 277 hp and 697 Nm of torque. The company has also launched the electric E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT.
Ford is giving its European MS-RT range a sharper edge with two new electrified additions. The sportier-looking Ranger MS-RT now comes with a punchier plug-in hybrid option, while the Tourneo Custom MS-RT makes the jump to a fully electric version. Both models bring fresh powertrains without losing the bold styling and utility that define the lineup. Starting with the street truck, the Ranger MS-RT PHEV generates a combined 277 hp and 697 Nm of torque from a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a single electric motor. That’s a healthy 40 hp and 97 Nm more than its diesel sibling, channeled through a 10-speed automatic and permanent e4WD system.

Furthermore, the 3,500 kg towing capacity and the 1 tonne payload remain unchanged. The street truck sits 40 mm closer to the ground than the standard Ranger, and benefits from a sportier suspension setup. Visually, all of the MS-RT bits are carried over, including the wide fenders, honeycomb grille, redesigned bumpers, diffuser, ducktail spoiler, and 21-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Ford has also introduced a new Turini Purple shade for the exterior. Inside, the cabin features Eco leather and suede with blue stitching, a sports steering wheel, bucket seats, and illuminated MS-RT branding. Tech highlights include a 12-inch infotainment display, dual-zone climate control, and a suite of driver assistance systems. Electric MS-RT Van Fans of sporty vans will be happy to learn that the Tourneo Custom MS-RT is now available in fully electric, plug-in hybrid, and diesel forms. The EV is the most potent option with a single electric motor churning out 282 hp .

This includes sportier bumper intakes, a splitter, side skirts, a diffuser, and a large roof spoiler inspired by the wild Ford Supervan. Inside, the front seats have heavier bolsters and integrated headrests, while all three rows get Eco leather and suede upholstery with blue contrasting stitching. The Tourneo Custom MS-RT rides on special 19-inch alloy wheels, but unlike the Ranger, it retains the standard suspension setup. Availability The new additions to the MS-RT lineup will be available to order across Europe and the UK later this year, with the first deliveries expected in 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to their market launch. All MS-RT versions of the Ranger and the Tourneo Custom undergo final assembly at the Ford Dagenham Estate facility in the UK. The models will make their public debut at the IAA Mobility Show in Munich between September 8-14.
