SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 28, 2025 – Imagine heading out on the open road with more comfort, more freedom, and a lot less compromise. That’s exactly what Ford is showing at this year’s Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. From a homely Nugget with a brand-new high roof to Europe’s first plug-in hybrid pick-up camper, the line-up is designed to make life on four wheels easier, smarter, and more exciting.
The Nugget gets a high-roof makeover
Ford’s Nugget camper van has always been a favorite for families and couples, but now it comes with a new trick: a fixed high roof. This isn’t just about standing taller — it’s about living better. The solid roof means extra insulation for year-round camping, better weather protection, and way more storage.
Inside, the space feels bigger and brighter. The bed up top is wider than in the pop-top version, and when folded away, you get over two meters of standing height — perfect for stretching out while cooking or simply moving around with ease. Buyers can choose:
- Storage version with a huge 911 liters of room for gear.
- Toilet version with a built-in loo, still leaving plenty of storage for essentials.
It’s a camper that proves small vans can still feel like home.
Ranger PHEV: A pick-up that doubles as a campsite
For those who love to explore off the beaten path, Ford is debuting the Ranger Plug-in Hybrid — the first of its kind in Europe. With a mix of turbo petrol power and electric drive, it offers up to 49 kilometers of silent, zero-emission cruising before switching back to hybrid mode.
But the real magic is in the details. Ford fitted the Ranger with a Hardtop and roof tent, turning it into a rolling base camp for families. The tent sleeps two adults and a child, while the Pro Power Onboard system can run everything from a coffee machine to a laptop — no campsite plug required. It’s the camper for anyone who wants to wake up in the middle of nowhere without giving up creature comforts.
Transit-based campers: Compact, clever, and ready to roam
Not everyone wants a massive motorhome. That’s why Ford’s Transit remains such a hit with camper specialists. Two standout models at the show prove why:
- Dethleffs GLOBEBUS GO T45 → slim and agile, but still roomy enough for two adults to sleep comfortably and enjoy a proper bathroom.
- Sunlight CLIFF 4x4 Greentrek → tough, adventurous, and built to handle rough tracks, complete with off-road tires and a stylish olive-yellow look.
These models keep things compact while still offering everything needed for weeks on the road.
Why this lineup matters for travelers
Ford’s approach at Caravan Salon reflects how travel itself is changing. More people want freedom to go anywhere, without giving up comfort or sustainability. The Nugget High Roof offers space without moving to a giant RV, the Ranger PHEV shows eco-conscious adventure is possible, and the Transit-based builds prove compact vans can still feel luxurious.
