Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2015 3D Model

This is Ford's top of the range one ton ute, the Ranger Wildtrak. Ranger took over top sales position in the one ton ute segment from Toyota Hilux last year. Little wonder, it's a good looking ute with plenty of go from the strong five pot engine. This is the ultimate Ranger and goes for $57,390 - ouch. There are numerous other choices in the Ranger lineup priced from $24,390 for the entry-level 2.2-liter manual single cab chassis. This one gets a strong 3.2-liter turbodiesel five-cylinder with 147kW/470Nm - a lazy output for such an engine that will probably be relatively long lived (if the rest of the truck holds together). Great performance apart from an annoying rattle from the transmission on the throttle over-run at highway speeds. Hmmmm wonder what it was? Plenty of kick across a wide engine speed range, makes a snarly, gnarly growl just off idle. Smooth, relatively quiet. A good thing to drive in manual or auto (both six speeders). Is it economical? Not particularly - rated at 9.6L/100km but it does have an 80 liter fuel tank and you can always opt for the 2.2-liter four cylinder turbodiesel, but not in Wildtrak spec. Is it comfortable? Yes, the ride is good for a workhorse and it handles pretty well given the design constraints. Decent shaped and padded seats, light steering. OK turning circle and the Wildtrak scores plenty of kit. It's the only Ranger to get a rear view camera. Big cross.
