The Ford Ranger carries more: up to 1,098 kg of payload, against 1,085 kg for the Isuzu D-Max. That figure comes from a version plated at 3,350 kg gross vehicle weight, against 3,100 kg, so payload is not like for like.

A plug-in hybrid's official economy is a weighted WLTP result that assumes the van is charged regularly, so it cannot be set against a diesel's combined mpg, and we do not rank it. Real fuel use depends on how often it is plugged in.
