Ranger vs Shark vs GWM: Which PHEV Ute Wins?

We put three powerful plug-in hybrid utes head to head to see what actually matters once the novelty wears off. This isn’t just another spec-sheet shootout, it’s a real-world comparison of comfort, performance, economy, practicality, and the small things that make ownership either pleasant (or quietly annoying). In this comparison: • Ford Ranger Stormtrak PHEV • BYD Shark 6 PHEV • GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV We drove each vehicle in pure electric mode until it went flat, then took the utes on a real-world fuel economy test, as well as testing the ride and handling, comfort features, infotainment, tray features and those little quirks you only notice after spending time behind the wheel. There is a winner but it’s not decided by the biggest (or smallest) number on a brochure... Also, Gav is a clown as usual. You’ve been warned. 😃 📽️IN THIS VIDEO: 0:00 - Intro 0:26 - Price 0:47 - Motor 1:22 - Battery 1:55 - Design 3:17 - Interior Design 4:57 - Pay load 5:18 - Towing capacity 5:40 - Quick Fire Round 8:30 - Water Test 14:20 - Drive train 16:20 - Equaliser round 17:26 - Audio Test 17:55 - Charging 19:03 - EV Range 21:06 - Reverse Test 25:18 - Petrol Economy 25:54 - PSC 26:12 - And the winner is... 26:43 - Thank you! 💚MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: Riddara RD6 fully electric ute: https://youtu.be/CZdLyDb0f0I BYD Shark 6 full review & off-road test: https://youtu.be/GIJa4B-J3uE BYD Shark 6 off-road redemption: https://youtu.be/4jdHsrn4nM0 ⚡JOIN US: Keen on cutting your carbon footprint?
