Beat the budget with huge benefit-in-kind savings on the Ford Ranger Double Cab from Hartwell

The Ford Ranger is already an international award-winner in the pickup category, and it’s built for toughness.

Hartwell Dunstable Ford in Luton has some incredible deals on the Double Cab pickup ordered before April 6 2025, with amazing benefit-in-kind tax (BIK) savings of up to £479.10 per month compared to predicted rises.

Why are things changing?

Currently the Ranger Double Cab enjoys a flat commercial BIK rate of £66 per month for 20 per cent taxpayers, and £132 per month for 40 per cent taxpayers. From April 6th, 2025, double cab pickups will face higher tax rates as they’ll be reclassified as passenger vehicles for BIK purposes, which means a major change to how much a customer will pay each month on purchases or lease agreements after that date.

This means that company vehicle drivers, or owners who run fleet cars, will see a significant increase in their monthly BIK payment.

They will also be classed as cars for capital allowances.

What difference does early ordering make?

If you order a Double Cab Ranger or new plug-in hybrid Ranger before the deadline you could secure lower tax benefits through transitional BIK arrangements. This could save you up to £479.10*per month until disposal, lease expiry, or April 5th, 2029.
