- Commercial vehicles and Ford go together like chops and sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, burgers and chips - they just seem to instinctively know how to make them fit the requirements of a category’s audience… and this is obvious when it comes to the BIG Ford Ranger Wildtrak.
Just look at it… it’s so good looking - the top of the pile when it comes to trim in the excellent Ford Ranger Range (that’s a mouthful). If I asked a child to draw a pickup truck, it would look like this! That profile is unmistakable and mean.
So, yes, it’s got the looks, but does it have the tech, equipment, and engine to justify the love? Let’s see…
Key Points:
• Titanium-effect painted front grille
• The Euro 6 3.2-litre Duratorq Diesel 200PS engine is mated to an excellent 6-speed gearbox with Auto Start-Stop
• 18-inch machined alloy wheels
• Electric foldable mirrors, indicators and puddle lights
• Side steps with metallic inserts
• Wildtrak emblazoned on the sides
• Sports bar behind the cab
Double Cab 4x4, so very spacious! And Wildtrak is everywhere... on the steering wheel, the floor mats, and seat trims.
• Radio with 8-inch TFT touchscreen
• Rear-view cameras, Nav system, Voice Control
• Bluetooth/USB connectivity
• Apple Carplay, Android Auto, Applink
• Emergency Assistance
• Sports bar behind the cab with loading space lighting
• 1000kg payload with a braked towing weight of 3500kg more!
• Length - 1.5m
• Width - 1.5m
• Width (between arches) - 1.1m
• Depth - 0.5m
Class-leading luxury even in the back… but let’s take a look at some of the other pickup trucks available right now…
• Mitsubishi L200 - a top-class pickup that sells big and is top-ranked thanks to its high towing capability, it’s also a proper looker at the Barbarian and Warrior trim levels.
• Nissan Navara - a tough interior and excellent options in the cabin set the Navara apart from the competition - if you’re in the market for one, the Tekna trim level is where you should start!
• Fiat Fullback - a great-value pickup truck platform shares with the Mitsubishi L200 so it comes from good stock. Well worth a look.
• Isuzu D-Max - there’s something understated about the D-Max, and that’s fine, it does the job of a pickup without making a fuss! Farmers love it, and that is high praise indeed!
• Mercedes-Benz X Class - sharing some bits of the Nissan Navara meant Mercedes-Benz built a luxury pickup on the bedrock of a top-performing pickup platform. How long it hangs around though is anyone’s guess.
• Toyota Hilux - we’re several generations in now, and the Hilux continues to perform incredibly well. It’s got the usual high Toyota build standard and the tech bundled in there is very user-friendly.
• And finally, the VW Amarok - the VW brand is incredibly strong and is clearly on show in the Amarok pickup truck. It’s big and comfy at speed, so much so you’d easily mistake it for an SUV’s drive quality!
And there you go, as you can see there’s a lot of choice in this sector, and each pickup has its merits, but if I can plug the big Ford Ranger Wildtrak it would be to say that it is THE icon for many reasons, but the ones I’d highlight are that big 3.2-litre engine and excellent cabin build quality.
So, how do we finish this?
Being a pickup truck icon is easy when you can back that title up with consistent performance, hard-wearing build quality, and a powerful engine.
The Ranger has continued to evolve and tick more boxes… the Wildtrak trim level isn’t just about better seats, it’s a totally different engine, a huge double cab, amazing Loadspace functionality and the rest.
So, if you’re looking for a new pickup truck, I’m pretty sure I’ve given every reason you’d ever need to check the Ford Ranger Wildtrak out! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great positive review, thanks
EXCELLENT REVIEW!!! Covers all that is important to know!!!
Tom here: So pleased you enjoyed the review. The latest version has also been reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/C0ClF-Jbng4/w-d-xo.html
Was at a dealer the other week. All the new rangers have the 2.0 litre engine now. Inc the ranger raptor that Hammond has been driving on drivetribe. Nice review.
Gregs Mowing yes 2 l is enough in eure
Tom here: Yep, the standard versions of the 2019 facelift and Raptor are 2.0-litre EcoBlue engines. Although the Wildtrak version of the new-look Ranger is still a 3.2-litre engine. We had one in recently. :)
@Rick G Tom here: True. We've got a new Ranger coming in for review shortly!
@Rick G Tom here: Absolutely. And the much-anticipated Tesla pickup on the cards... soon, probably?!?
@Rick G Tom here: Haha, I've heard that more than once.
So now the question is,
Do I buy a 3.2 or 2.0 bi-turbo?
3,2
3.2 (y)
depends what your using it for for example im a landscaper and groundworker so i tow alot so i brought the 3.2 but if its justto drive and carry afew things the the 2.0 biturbo is fine
I love the ranger my friend has one just can t aford one at this time i just git a new transit connect 2 days ago 😄
Tom here: I'm a Ranger fan through and through... although the Mitsubishi L200 S6 is coming up close on my top trucks list!
@@vanaramauk yes the L200 is one of nice pickups 😄
@@gerrydays2340 Tom here: I agree. And just you wait and see how it did when we took it to an indoor snow slope...
hope you can get a ranger soon mate
next year for me defo
Do plumbers just attach a pipe tube to the top? Do you know if they’re ideal for plumbers
Tom here: Yep, I've seen them do it.
You left out the storage under the back seat good review all the same 👌
is this truck on 3.2 litre very fuel efficient and how much is the road tax a year ps are these expensive to run on short journeys
No, its not very efficient, 30 odd mpg the 2.0 bi turbo is probably the better engine and road tax is 290 a year I believe
I get about 31mpg and its 290 I think for road tax.
road tax i pay 300 30 mpg insurance 2000 but it worth it
Sales pitch more than review
Tom here: It's an overview to let customers make up their own mind. In the driving sections, I give a lot more personal reflections and review.
👍😁👍
Tom here: You like the truck? Me too. The new one's review is on its way...
@@vanaramauk we will be watching😄
@@gerrydays2340 Tom here: Have you seen our latest video about the Mitsubishi L200 when we took it to an indoor snow centre? It's here: th-cam.com/video/XIqTkCmx4rQ/w-d-xo.html
