New Ford Ranger Platinum 2025

Flagship Ford Ranger Pickup with Premium Comfort and Performance

The Ford Ranger Platinum represents the premium tier of Ford's mid-size pickup truck range, and the 2025 model year brings a refined, well-equipped double cab that sits firmly at the top end of the Ranger lineup. Designed for drivers who want genuine workhorse capability without compromising on comfort or prestige, the Ranger Platinum combines the rugged DNA of the Ranger family with a specification level that sets it apart from the rest of the range. Whether you're running a business that demands a capable and professional-looking pickup, or you need a versatile daily driver that can handle everything from a construction site to a weekend away, the 2025 Ford Ranger Platinum delivers on every front.

Listed in the Pickups category, this double cab configuration provides seating for both driver and passengers alongside a substantial open load bed — the hallmark layout of the Ranger platform. With a list price of £47,950, the Platinum trim positions itself as a serious proposition for fleet managers and private buyers alike who want the best the Ranger range has to offer in its diesel-powered guise.

Available through Swiss Vans as a Ford Ranger lease, the Platinum offers an accessible route into owning one of the UK's most respected pickups without the burden of a large outright purchase.

Load space & payload

As a double cab pickup in the Ranger Platinum configuration, the load bed is a defining feature of this vehicle. The open bed sits behind the four-door cab, providing a generous and practical area for carrying tools, materials, equipment, or leisure gear. Unlike enclosed van bodies, the pickup format means you can load bulky or awkwardly shaped items with ease — pallets, timber, large machinery, and outdoor equipment all benefit from the open, accessible nature of the load area.

The Platinum trim's premium status doesn't diminish the working credentials of the load bed. It remains the same capable platform found across the Ranger Double Cab range, making it equally at home on a building site as it is at a country estate. The tailgate drops down to make loading and unloading straightforward, and the bed's durable construction is suited to the rigours of daily commercial use.

Ford's accessories catalogue for the Ranger includes options such as load box bedliners, utility storage boxes, load bed dividers, drawer systems, cross bars, and a power roller shutter — all designed to help you organise and protect your cargo more effectively. The Platinum's premium positioning also means it pairs naturally with smarter load management solutions for those who want to keep the interior and load area looking as polished as the exterior.

Engines & performance

The 2025 Ford Ranger Platinum is powered by a 3.0-litre diesel engine producing 240bhp, paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive as standard. This is the most powerful diesel option in the Ranger range, and it delivers a notably confident and composed driving experience whether you're navigating urban roads, motorway miles, or more challenging off-road terrain.

The 10-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth, well-judged gear changes across the full rev range, making the Platinum feel effortlessly refined in day-to-day driving. The combination of a 3.0-litre engine with this gearbox means there's always ample response available, whether you're pulling out onto a busy dual carriageway or climbing a steep incline with a loaded bed.

Four-wheel drive comes as standard on the Platinum, reflecting its capability credentials — you're never left underpowered or under-equipped when conditions deteriorate. The drivetrain makes light work of muddy fields, gravel tracks, and loose surfaces, while remaining smooth and refined on tarmac for daily commuting and long-distance journeys.

Compared to other diesel variants in the Ranger lineup — such as the 2.0-litre 205bhp engines found in the XL, XLT, Wildtrak, and Tremor — the Platinum's 3.0-litre 240bhp unit represents a meaningful step up in outright power. It shares this engine with the Wildtrak 3.0-litre and MS-RT variants, but the Platinum delivers it within a more luxuriously appointed package.

• MS-RT Double Cab — 3.0-litre 240bhp diesel, 10-speed automatic, 4WD — from £50,800

The Platinum sits at a premium price point that reflects its top-tier specification within the mainstream Ranger range. It offers the 3.0-litre 240bhp diesel engine in a trim focused on refinement and premium appointments, rather than the more overtly sporty or off-road-focused character of trims like the Stormtrak or MS-RT. For buyers who want the most powerful diesel in a prestige-oriented package, the Platinum is the natural choice.

Colour choices for the Ranger range include solid and metallic options. Available finishes include Arctic White (solid, no upcharge), as well as metallic options such as Absolute Black, Blue Lightning, Command Grey, and Meteor Grey (each at a £600 upcharge), and Panther Black Metallic, Blue Panther Metallic, and Ingot Silver Metallic (each at a £650 upcharge). The Code Orange finish is also available at a £600 upcharge, while the Broom Yellow SVO option carries a £1,000 upcharge.

Finance & leasing

Leasing the 2025 Ford Ranger Platinum through Swiss Vans is a smart way to access this premium pickup without the large capital outlay of an outright purchase. With a list price of £47,950, the Platinum represents a significant investment to buy outright — but through a Ford Ranger lease arrangement, you can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments while benefiting from a brand-new vehicle with full manufacturer warranty.

Business contract hire is particularly attractive for companies and sole traders, as lease payments on commercial vehicles like the Ranger are typically 100% tax deductible as a business expense, and VAT-registered businesses can reclaim a significant portion of the VAT on the payments. This makes the effective monthly cost considerably lower than the headline figure, improving cash flow and reducing the overall burden on business finances.

Personal contract hire is equally available for private individuals who want to drive the Ranger Platinum without the depreciation risk of ownership. You simply agree a contract length, annual mileage, and initial rental, then enjoy the vehicle for the duration before returning it or choosing a new model.
