  • We test the new T6.2 Ford Ranger Wildtrak X, which combines hard-core mud-kicking upgrades with twin-turbo 2.0L power to create its new flagship diesel off-roader for MY24.
    The Wildtrak X is one of the Ford’s highest-specificed ute grades, joining the new Platinum near the top of the MY24 Ranger tree that currently offers no fewer than 25 different variants.
    The upmarket off-roader is wider and sits taller than the regular Wildtrak and fits a revised 2.0-litre twin-turbo engine and full-time 4x4. It also fits a host of cool features exclusively reserved for other high-spec versions such as the Platinum and Raptor.
    The Ford Ranger competes with the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi Triton, Mazda BT-50, Isuzu D-Max, Volkswagen Amarok and other B-segment utes in Australia.

    This bakkie is almost perfect. They should introduce a V6 diesel option.

    Been driving the "old" Ranger Raptor with 2.0 biturbo diesel for 4 years. Now planning to get a Wildtrak X with the same engine. So, yes, V6 would be nice, but R4 is a nice engine, too. And AdBlue, I don't see a problem, had it all the time here. So, no real issues with choice of engines. As long as I don't have to buy anything electric, I am fine with it...

    why do ford refuse to acknowledge the 2.3L ecoboost VW have already got it in the aventura if that wildtrak had it as a no cost option i would be in a ford dealer buying it tomorrow maybe an aventrura with 18inch panam wheels is the way to go

    Need this off road model at the xlt spec level. If you aftermarket lift and tyres you are most often illegal. This is a good balance, just not at the high price. Any word of the Tremor spec coming to aus?

    In Vietnam Ford is selling the Raptor with the 2.0 Turbo Diesel (only option). I wonder if it's exclusive to Vietnam or any other countries?
