Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2016 review: Torquing Heads
First it was the Everest and now it's the Ranger Wildtrak. The top-spec Wildtrak has been a slightly-unexpected smash-hit for Ford, with families and tradies seemingly falling over themselves to get on the lifestyle ute bandwagon.
The Wildtrak is built on the same tough-as-nails underpinnings as standard Ranger, with the same five cylinder diesel found in the Everest as well as a surprising - and comforting - number of the big SUV's safety features.
We put the Ranger Wildtrak to the test to find out how it compares to the Everest for the family on the go, and is it the dual purpose car its sales suggest?
