I've been trawling online for some kind of definitive answer about what tax I will be paying on a 2021 I'm model Ranger Raptor in 2026  2.0  213 bhp Seems to be so many varied amounts .Do any of you fine people own a similar vehicle and maybe impart some advice to a new buyer any advice gratefully received.Many thanks

Assuming the following details: (see attached below)

12 months = £345

 

Many thanks for the information was worried as it said it could be up to 3 or 4 grand because the value new was over £40000 and there is a surcharge on vehicles over that.Many thanks

URGENT UPDATE. The Ranger Raptor is classed as a car not a Light Commercial Vehicle.

Road tax is based on the emmisons and is not the same as all other Rangers.

The road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty or VED) for a 2022 Ford Ranger 2.0 diesel in the UK is a flat rate of £345 per year. 

This flat rate applies because the Ford Ranger is classified as a light commercial vehicle (LCV) for VED purposes, provided it has a payload of over 1 tonne. 

 

Key Details

• Flat Rate: The tax is a flat annual fee and does not depend on the specific CO2 emissions, unlike passenger cars.
• Commercial Vehicle Classification: Most versions of the Ranger, including the Wildtrak and XLT, qualify as LCVs (TC39 tax class) due to their payload capacity.
• Exceptions: The Ford Ranger Raptor is an exception to this rule because its lower payload means it is classified as a passenger car, which results in a much higher VED bill based on its CO2 emissions and list price. 

For the most accurate and current information for a specific vehicle, you can check the vehicle's tax status on the official GOV.UK website using its
