Three used Ford Ranger models are currently available, with registration years spanning from 2018 to 2020. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for any of these used pick-ups depends entirely on its specific first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. Unlike other marketplace features, such as ULEZ status or MOT history, the exact VED amount is not a single figure for all Rangers. For cars first registered after 1 April 2017, including all of the Ford Ranger models listed here, a different VED system applies. The first year's tax rate is based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. Additionally, a surcharge is levied for five years on cars that had a list price over £40,000 when new. This system contrasts with older vehicles, which are taxed purely based on their CO2 emissions bands. Fully electric cars have previously been exempt from VED, but this exemption is also set to change. Because the VED calculation depends on individual car specifics, it is essential to check the precise details for each Ford Ranger you are considering. You can find the exact VED for any specific vehicle on the government's official website using its registration number. This ensures you have the most accurate information before making a purchase.

Do electric Ford Rangers pay road tax?

What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
