If you're only doing minor offroad distances and not difficult terrain, then a light duty trailer is an option. Trailers like you propose are not dustproof or waterproof (river crossings), though if your dirt road distances are short, that might not be a major problem. If your offroad distances are...

Hi Guys, We just got back from our first family camping trip, everything went well and one of the important learning is that we need more space to carry our stuff around , it's not the weight but the sheer space that camping stuff occupies. Considered roof rack, but dont want to be drilling holes in...

Hi guys, Got my ranger Wildtrak last year , its stock standard the only thing added was a GME. I want to get started on camping first with my two kids and wife. We have never done it before so i don't know what will be needed. To be precise i have an 8 year old and a 3 year old. What sort of a tent ...

I have the 240v power socket in my 2021 Wildtrak X, surprised yours haven't got it. They no longer have the pull out sun shade which was a feature I liked. And it hasn't got the middle tie down points in the tray, that's the ones I use the most. Had to buy a set from Ford. One screw is fitted, so i...

Also some recommendations for a rack-less awning which can be mounted on factory installed roof rails https://www.gmf4x4.com.au/product/ford-ranger-wildtrak-awning-bracket/ These 'rackless' awning mounts, mounted on factory installed roof rails are what your after. This looks perfect would you know...

I ordered in July for an XLS Sport, which was already in production. Never got any emails from Ford, just rang the dealer every couple weeks for an update.

Here are the things I am confused or concerned about : I don't intend to get any after market accessories when I buy it , but eventually it will be all terrain...

Just got an email from ford advising that the "your ranger is now in production" and gave me a NSC number , whats does this means in regards to the lead time to delivery? When can I expect the car here ?

Hey mate, my opinion of your questions as follows: All terrain tyre ? How much would that cost ? Ranger comes with factory alloy wheels , will I need new wheels with the tyres? You can do most easy - moderate off road tracks with the stock tyres (Dunlop AT22). I did so for the first 40k km before r...

Now I am worried , should I try to get it changed ? Is it even possible to switch to fx4 once I have booked Wildtrak?

is it possible the the 3.2 might come in earlier than expected Both FTM and AAT have just re-instated their 2nd shifts so it is possible it could be built earlier !! any reason for choosing the Wildtrak over the FX4 MAX ?

I just ordered mine about 10 days ago, Wildtrak 3.2 in Alabaster White, dealer said October but he said 3.2 is easier to get a hand on , does it means it might come in earlier than. October?

Also how do I track it ?

Congratulations on your purchase. I can't imagine having to wait that long for a vehicle. I like your honesty 'I wanted one!'. I agree with the previous post, try it first. I've owned mine since January and am still evaluating what I want to do to the car. It is exciting thinking about what accesso...

I just bought an XLT. I bought one straight from the dealer's stock to avoid delays, so I can understand you anxiously awaiting delivery :) As for things like tyres and suspension mods, my attitude is to try it out the way Ford deliver it first. You might be very happy withit as is. Even with the B...
