Ford Ranger Predator

A rugged, performance-focused pickup built for capability and versatility

The Ford Ranger Predator is one of the most distinctive and purposeful pickups available to lease in the UK today. Based on the highly capable Ranger platform, the Predator is a specialised conversion that takes the already impressive Ranger Double Cab and transforms it into something altogether more aggressive and adventure-ready. For 2026, the Ford Ranger Predator arrives with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, combining real-world versatility with a more electrified driving experience — making it a compelling choice for businesses and individuals who demand both capability and a nod towards cleaner operation.

As a pickup truck in the truest sense, the Ford Ranger Predator sits in a class of its own among the wider Ranger range. Whether you are tackling demanding work environments, heading off-road, or simply cutting a striking figure on the road, the Predator conversion elevates the standard Ranger formula with bespoke styling and enhanced presence. A Ford Ranger lease on this particular variant gives you access to a vehicle that genuinely stands apart from the crowd.

Load space & payload

The Ford Ranger Predator is built on the Ranger's Double Cab body style, which offers an open load bed at the rear ideally suited to carrying a broad variety of materials, equipment, and oversized items that would simply not fit inside a conventional panel van. The open bed configuration means you can load and unload quickly, and the bed is well-suited to carrying building materials, agricultural supplies, outdoor equipment, or leisure gear.

The Double Cab layout means that five occupants can travel in comfort, with a full rear cabin available for crew or additional storage of tools and smaller items. The combination of passenger space and a usable open load area makes the Predator genuinely flexible for both work and personal use. As a PHEV-powered pickup, the Predator also demonstrates that electrified powertrains and practical load-carrying capability are not mutually exclusive — a significant step forward for the pickup segment.

The load bed is robust and well-protected, designed to handle the demands of regular commercial and leisure use. Accessories such as bed liners and load management solutions are available through the Ford accessories programme to help you make the most of the available space.

Engines & performance

The Ford Ranger Predator for 2026 features a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, marking a significant development for this conversion. The PHEV system delivers a strong and responsive performance character, combining petrol engine output with electric motor assistance to provide a driving experience that feels effortlessly capable whether you are pulling away from traffic lights, navigating urban environments, or heading out onto more demanding terrain.

Looking at the broader Ranger PHEV family in the catalogue, the hybrid variants produce a substantial 281bhp and are paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic gearbox — delivering confident acceleration and relaxed long-distance cruising. Four-wheel drive is standard, ensuring that the Predator's performance credentials extend well beyond tarmac, giving you the traction and confidence needed across a variety of surfaces and conditions.

The PHEV powertrain means drivers can benefit from electric-assisted performance during lower-speed driving, helping to reduce running costs during urban or suburban use, while the petrol engine steps in to maintain strong output when longer journeys or heavier loads demand more from the drivetrain. The 10-speed automatic transmission ensures that power is always delivered smoothly and efficiently, with no need for manual gear changes to interrupt the driving experience.

For those who cover a broad range of journey types — from early morning site visits to weekend adventures — the PHEV setup in the Predator makes it a genuinely well-rounded proposition, with four-wheel drive ensuring confidence is never in short supply.

Trims & variants

The Ford Ranger Predator occupies a unique position in the Ranger lineup as a conversion vehicle built on top of the Ranger's core range. The 2026 model year Ranger is available across a broad spectrum of trim levels, from the entry-level XL through to the premium Platinum and performance-oriented MS-RT, reflecting the wide audience the Ranger is designed to serve.

Within the standard Ranger catalogue, PHEV variants are available across several trim levels including the XLT, Wildtrak, and Stormtrak. The Stormtrak PHEV, for instance, carries a list price of £49,800, while the Wildtrak PHEV is listed at £44,900, giving useful context for the positioning of electrified Ranger variants in the wider market.

The Predator, as a bespoke conversion, brings a distinctive identity over and above any standard trim level, with its own unique styling cues that set it apart from every other Ranger on the road. The PHEV powertrain in the Predator variant combines the performance and efficiency benefits of electrification with the Predator's enhanced visual and dynamic character, creating a pickup that is genuinely difficult to ignore.

Across the Ranger range, colour options include classic choices such as Arctic White (no upcharge) through to premium metallics including Absolute Black, Blue Lightning, Command Grey, Meteor Grey, Panther Black Metallic, Ingot Silver Metallic, and Blue Panther Metallic, with metallic finishes typically carrying an upcharge of between £600 and £650.
