Ford is expanding the Ranger line-up in South Africa with an exciting and adventurous all-new model, the Wildtrak X.
Based on the hugely popular Ranger Wildtrak, the new Wildtrak X adds versatility without compromising on the outstanding level of luxury and safety that are hallmarks of this high-spec model.
The Ranger Wildtrak range has been immensely popular in South Africa for more than a decade, due to its trend-setting style, peerless status, innovative suite of driver assistance technologies and exceptional performance.
Packed with driver assistance systems and bespoke accessories, the Wildtrak X is truly unique from the standard Wildtrak models.
Off-road enthusiasts will benefit from its wider stance and increased ground clearance, along with purposeful all-terrain tyres fitted on new-design 17-inch alloy wheels.
This is combined with specially tuned Bilstein Position-Sensitive Dampers that provide sure-footed performance in all types of terrain.
It is the first Ranger model to be equipped with Ford’s innovative trail turn assist system, which helps reduce the turning radius by up to 25%.
The Wildtrak X offers customers the option to add Ford’s new flexible rack system which consists of two main components: a sliding load rack that can be locked into five positions along the length of the load bed, and folding roof racks that store inside the roof rails when not in use.
It is powered by Ford’s powerful yet efficient 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine that produces 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque and is matched to the smooth-shifting and responsive 10-speed automatic transmission.
It is the first Ranger 2.0l bi-turbo model to be available with Ford’s on-demand four-wheel drive system that offers four modes: 4A (automatic), 2H, 4H and 4L.
Wildtrak X slots in perfectly between the standard Wildtrak and the Raptor providing customers a fuel efficient, luxurious, capable offroad vehicle.
