Next-Gen Ford Ranger – is it worth the hype?
In fact, wait times for some models such as the Ranger Wildtrak (from $70,190 before on-road costs) have blown out into the eight-month mark.
So, why the hype? Let’s take a look at what people are loving about the Ford Ranger Wildtrak.
One of the big drawcards of the Ford Ranger Wildtrak is the V6 slick all-wheel drive system.
The Ranger Wildtrak comes with a 2.0L bi-turbo diesel 10AT part-time 4×4 or you can upgrade to a 3.0L V6 turbo diesel with full-time 4WD.
For those who like to crunch the numbers, the difference is 184kW/600Nm vs 154kW/500Nm. Both come with a 10-speed auto gearbox and maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500kg.
That’s a lot of muscle – perfect for those looking for some heavy towing capability for their work wheels.
The front of the Wildtrak Ranger features a unique grille design, tough-look mesh and C-Clamp LED headlamps.
Coupled with boulder grey 18-inch alloy wheels, the Wildtrak cuts an impressive figure on the road.
There have also been new additions such as an integrated step for easier access to the cargo area and a bigger tray that can now accommodate a Euro pallet (1200mm x 800mm).
The 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak is packed with new features and technology that add to its appeal.
One of the standout features is the integrated 12-inch centre LCD touchscreen. This infotainment screen has a tough truck-inspired look and feel that complements the vehicle well.
It may be a “work truck”, but you can expect all the good stuff in the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. Heated front seats with Wildtrak embossing, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting and smart entry and start capabilities – the lot.
