Ford Ranger Wildtrak

I like big cars, but I’ve avoided driving pick-ups and large vans, considering them too difficult to maneuver, too heavy for long drives, and just too workman-like for me. Driving the Ford Ranger 2.2 Wildtrak 4x2 AT was a liberating experience, as I loved how the truck’s exterior brawn was perfectly complemented by its interior refinement.

First, let’s talk about the brawn. The Ford Ranger’s tag line is “Built Tough” and, indeed, this is embodied in its aggressively muscular design, heightened by the Wildtrak accent grille. It rides high on 18-inch alloy wheels, and with a ground clearance of 237 mm and a wading depth of 800 mm, this is a ride that’s not easily intimidated by whatever challenges it meets on the road, whether it’s other trucks and buses, rough terrain, or even some river crossing.
