Ford Ranger PHEV experience in Iceland
Dylan was invited to Iceland for a hands-on Ford Ranger PHEV experience. The programme included towing and off-road exercises, giving DSBM an opportunity to assess the pickup from the viewpoint of an operator who regularly works with trailers, 4x4s and vehicle recovery.
Alongside testing what the new electrified Ranger could do, Dylan shared practical feedback from real towing work—and offered a few light-hearted reversing pointers.

DSBM began in 2020, during a period when the team helped move urgent items to people who needed them. Severe-weather recovery and community assistance have remained part of the company’s identity as the operation has expanded.
