The Ford Ranger Wildtrak has become part of the pickup aristocracy, alongside the likes of the Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-max, Nissan Navara and VW Amarok. The latest version is available with a choice of two diesel engines 2L or 3.2L, two gearboxes 6 speed manual or 10 speed automatic, four-wheel drive one bodystyles in a range of 5 colours. Although it's a commercial vehicle at heart, higher-spec models make cases for themselves as everyday passenger cars, even if a conventional SUV will be more comfortable and practical.
Here we look at our latest Tow car review - How does the New Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2019 stack up in towing our 1,750kg Adria caravan - check out the video and see our thoughts.

Fancy reading about our time with the Ford - click here to check out the blog - www.herewetow.co.uk/ford-ranger-wildtrak/
Loved this review guys thanks for sharing👍
Great review guys, I want one I fancy the 3.2L best I start saving now.
A mate of mine has the 3.2 auto wildtrack and he’s getting 24mpg on the motorway. His is a 19 plate with 10,000 miles on it.
When can I move in! It’s bigger than my lounge here in London! Lovely pickup. Will go have a look 👀Ford is just down the road! Of course I will need to order one in pink! I love a good rolltop! Thank God the brakes work!!!!!. 😱😱😱😱😱 on the fuel and also what about the environmental aspect of it. Being serious I do like it but if you’re not a farmer then it’s a bit of a boys toy! Lovely presentation of course. Thanks for the viewing!
Peter ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😂 Yes it’s the market of people who would use it as a genuine work horse and those that want a U.K. sized American truck. The economy was disappointing but the engine growl was nice. Thanks for watching Peter 👍
Hi Guys. My Dad Loves these Pickups he has several over the years. Thanks Phil👍🙂👍
Thanks Phil, yes I must admit I did love this pickup. They have been the back bone of the country for a reason. I have always found them to be a good all round vehicle. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊👍👍
That's why we have the Nissan navara coil springs on the rear lovely ride all the time pulls the buccaneer commodore no problem! Thanks for the review you 2
Thanks Paul. We have spoken to Nissan and will hopefully bring this vehicle as a review soon. 👍👍 Thanks for watching our review and commenting. 😊
I have had mine nearly 4 years I’m going to change it for the Ford raptor they are very good vehicles very happy with them, Love the review you guys do 👌😆
Thank you - we are privileged to be able to try these products and share our experience. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍
Great review 👍
Thanks Martin. 👍👍
I have 2017 3.2MT and I love it....
Thank you
Brilliant review of this amazing pick up and it’s good to hear how it performs when towing. With all the towing you two do I would say you know what you are on about. You also give it a fair review as it is a truck after all. I thought Jules would like this one..it’s more of a statement this sort of car. Thanks for doing this and thanks Ford. I would like to know what the Edge and Kuga are like too.
Thanks Louise, that’s a lovely comment and yes we are getting to the end of the pickups now and looking at SUV and other vehicles so watch this space. Hopefully we will be fortunate enough to have a look at these. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy. 👍👍
Nice review...please review the ranger 2.2tdci...
Great review, shame about the ride bounce. This has been on out next tow car list, might re-think if its to be included. Thanks for a good honest review.
The 2019 Ranger was released here in Australia a year ago which is when I picked up mine. The 3.2 is still available along side the 2.0 Bi Turbo but I decided that the 2.0 was probably a bit of a toy in the long run for a truck of this size so opted for the larger motor. Had no problems and enjoyed the active cruze as well as the fully autonomous braking. Only ever used the parallel park option once as whilst it's fun to watch the vehicle park itself, it actually takes much longer than if you did it yourself, particularly when you're likely to have a queue of traffic waiting for you to park. Sounded a little expensive at £38,000 in the UK considering that the Aussie price is equivalent to around £32,000.
Better you, in Kenya East Africa it cost £70,000
Nice review have had my ranger now three years from new with loads of towing I found increasing the nose weight to 100 kg it tows great no bounce also have plenty of weight in the tub at the back with dog cage and rear canopy.
Thanks Simon..glad you’re enjoying yours, they certainly are a popular vehicle 😊🚙 Karina
Love the look of these, great looking truck, is on my wish list for sure. Wish the mpg was better though.
Cheers for watching guys. I love how this looks and drives. Thanks for dropping a comment as well. 👍👍
Thanks for your very informative review, that's a lot of work you have done for us all. I'm going to stick to an SUV. As good as the flatbeds get you did remind me that they are a commercial work truck, thanks.
Ah thanks Barry - yes we like to do all we can for people so they have as much info as we can provide. Hope you enjoyed. 👍👍 What SUV do you have ? Might start looking at SUVs next. 👍
@@HereWeTow An 09 Nissan Pathfinder. Just an old workhorse, but comfy and tows like a train. Lots of cargo space as well
Good Aussie design towing vehicle 🇦🇺👍
Thinking of buying one in Hungary. Was under 30k brand new. Exchange rate was good.
Good review! Fuel economy when not towing let's it down. Would be interested to see how the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian compares?
Thanks Tommy, the Mitsubishi has a much lower kerb weight so we wondered how well it would perform too. We do know someone who tows an Adria with theirs and is very pleased with it.
3.2 manual more responsive, we have no problems with caravan, just a quick one roller covers leak like sieves, but saying that wouldn't swap mine for any other 😀😎
Thanks David. 👍👍
Great review K & J - I was surprised it was only 2litre for size but guess the turbos help
I thought interior was a bit plasticky
Price aside, given that you have driven both would you prefer a pickup like this or the Rexton?
Presumably the Rexton, although a rigid chassis, doesn’t bounce around
Thanks again
Regards
Howard
Hi Howard, I must say the engine was very responsive and extremely capable. I love the ranger and with a cab back would be perfect for us. The boss (AKA Karina) says that she prefers the rexton for the ride and running costs. It’s very much a personal preference and would always recommend people check these out for themselves. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍
Try the Ssangyong musso. Coil springs no bouncey ride same load capacity. And a bit more economic on fuel when not towing
Hi Paul we have asked the question and just waiting to see if we get a response. We do try and sort things to bring as much information as we can. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍
I’ve towed multiple trailers with my 3.2 same rear end just depends on what your pulling single axle can be a little bouncy depending how your set up with your towball weight as towing is a bit of a science, also if any a bit weight in the bed, honestly can’t complain about mine it’s a workhorse
Thanks for watching Dave and commenting 👍
Don't forget you can claim back the VAT and if you you are a member of SNFU you get a 6,527 discount bringing the price down to 25,095 for the wild track
Can only claim VAT back on the Wildtrack and not on the Raptor version☹Taxation class on the Wildtrack is Light Goods Vehicle..If changing from a car / Suv then don't expect your insurance on that vehicle to be able be passed on to the Wildtrack? I've a clean licence + 25 years no claims and was paying £220 a year on an SUV...Insurance for the Ranger they wanted £900 a year😭as the problem being its a goods vehicle! And most insurance companies won't shift from what there computer shows it as..So do your home work 1st 📞📞📞📞need plenty quotes and try to convince the insurance company thats it for private use only!😡
Thanks for adding that information 😊👍
Nice review. Just a quick point you made about parking sensors and the fact that you can’t turn them off in your Rexton, is there not a switch to the right of the steering wheel with a P and a bell sign that switches them off?
Hi Garry, yes there is that but that’s for the front sensors, it doesn’t isolate the rear sensors when hitched. 😊👍👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.
I wonder if your local Ssangyong dealer could fix the rear sensors to switch off with the same switch? Seems a very curious omission, seeing as Ssangyong boast of the Reston’s towing ability! Great channel, by the way!
Thanks Garry. To be fair we are used to it now and motor-mover most of the time due to the width and length of the van on tight site access roads so only notice it hitching up. Thanks for watching. 😊👍
I bought a new 2019 3.2ltr 6 speed automatic Ranger Wildtrack about three months ago. The ford dealership advised me that the 2ltr dual turbo was not strong enough to tow my caravan.. I had decided to take his advice and bought the 3.2ltr.. After watching your review on the 2ltr dual turbo I breathed a sigh of relief as the salesman told me this model had plenty of punch but was not ideal for a heavy van.. the 3.2ltr can tow with ease and fuel consumption is very good in my view.. When towing I get 24mpg when not towing I get 34mpg.. But I agree the truck is awesome and so comfy.. the thing I love is its a commercial vehicle so is not bound by emmissions testing like a car.. My insurance was way cheaper than my car. and its one of the safest vehicles on the road today.. I was surprised to hear that you experienced bouncing in the 2ltr as my 3ltr is fine, perhaps you may try towing with the 3.2ltr instead.. My message to anyone out there is get one as you will love being able to fill the rear bed with caravan stuff including awning etc.. I should have bought a truck years ago.. I fill the rear with all my stuff including water waste and water containers that we need for a trip and my rear seats are completely empty, so plenty of room for my grandchildren.. Anyways we enjoyed your review and I don't blame Jules for wanting one tomorrow. If you would like to see a pic of our ford with the van on the back I would be happy to post it.. Thanks Dave
Thank you Dave, it was great to be able to have this for a short time and I must say I loved the toys that it came with. I must say that the engine was plentiful and wouldn’t struggle at all and had plenty of grunt. They are a fantastic choice in my eyes for the very reasons you mentioned including chucking all the gear in the back. Thanks so much for watching our review and commenting. 😊👍👍
I like my 3.2 L MT 2017 model also...
Thanks for that. It's a good looking Pickup truck. It's a bit pricey for us but never know in 5 years when it comes down in price.
13:09 here we tow start towing
This one in the video 2.2 or 3.2 ?
This one is the 2.2 litre engine. 😊😊👍
Ok thank you
It’s a 2l Bi Turbo a relatively new engine also found in the transit van range.
Bought mine new in 2016 with the then 3.2 turbo engine and manual box. Tows my Adria Adora Thames easily. All in all a great vehicle which I thoroughly enjoy.
Never had better than 30mpg.
That’s interesting on the 3.2 engine as well. Does that have Ad blue as well ?
@@HereWeTow .....sorry......never heard of Adblue! What nose weight did you have, please, during your towing road test?
I take it from that answer that it doesn’t have Ad Blue then. This is an additive that is used to lower the emissions for a diesel vehicle. You have a separate tank to top up and it’s is normally displayed on the vehicle display. 👍 We towed our Adria at 100 kg as that’s what it is advised and we always run at this. Hope that helps. 😊😊👍👍
@@HereWeTow .....many thanks for your reply. I guess my Wildtrak predates Adblue. Just wondered if the nose weight was affecting the bouncing you experienced during towing, but I tow my Adora with 100kgs nose weight as well.
Don’t know about 2016 model but my 2017 3.2 is adblue next to fuel filler, also depending how and where you drive I average 30-32 mpg round the doors when up to temp, and travelling steady 70mph on cruise control on the motorway 36-37mpg however I won’t use supermarket diesel as it’s garbage and not good long term
Did you prefer the ford Ranger or the Nissan Navara?
Hi Richard, I preferred the Nissan for the drive and towing. I didn’t enjoy towing with the Ford. Jules preferred the Ford with the bigger engine. The Ranger is quite bouncy on the suspension if you are not carrying a load. I would say you would need to test drive both to see which suited you best. 😊🚙 Karina
🙆I need one from yu
Way too expensive for what it is, much better alternatives out there for that money and cheaper too.
Hi
Hi Janet. 👋
I could see the uneven ride in your video when towing, that’s not good. How much room is there in the passenger area, would your dog fit in there comfortably?
Plenty of space in the double cab to be fair. These seats are more than adequate for adults to sit back there, they even have a three pin plug in the back to power household items so has a converter.
Come on, 40 grand car, 30 grand caravan = £70,000+. Who actually cares about MPG. Have you tried letting the rear tire pressures down a little as they are probably set for a full load.
People do care, not all but many do, thank you for watching, enjoy your day 😊
