  1. I wished for the V6 Diesel to be in the Raptor. Would love that low down grunt of the V6 diesel with the suspension of the Raptor.

    Now really font know. Definitely won't buy a petrol so perhaps trade my Wildtrack for a new one. Or perhaps wait to see What the new Hilux will bring. With rumors pointing to a Wildtrack competitor might be worth waiting a bit. I'm pretty sure they won't make the mistake of having the top model in petrol only

  2. is the steering really light when at high way speeds. You seems to be adjusting it all the time, Another review i watched showed the same thing . Is it not tracking very well

  3. It's a no brainer for utes at the moment that the Ranger is best. Adding 4wd auto is a big deal I reckon. I could have used it the other day in the rain, I actually went sideways. I don't know if it would have helped though. I would like to see it tested in controlled conditions.

  4. Great review. Was a bit concerned I had missed the boat by getting the bi but as I’m not towing anything I’m glad I got the bi turbo wt instead of the v6 sport..

  5. Ok so let us get real Australia, most of these reviews are pretty standard and, in my view, Australia is robbed blind, and dealers can do it because we have little choice and then there is the wow got to have it factor from buyers. The vehicle itself is not that special, in fact it is quite agricultural like all dual cabs in Oz, with the exception of the GWM which is plush compared to the au natural picks ups we have. Let us look at price for a start, in the USA the equivalent to a Wild track is less than $50 grand, in fact a 2022 Velocity Blue Metallic Ford Ranger Lariat 10-Speed Automatic, 2.3L I4 16V GDI DOHC Turbo in a dual cab is $46,330 and that is with a dealer $100 incentive. In Australia, the Luxe Yellow 2022 Wild track Ranger 10-Speed Automatic 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel in a dual cab is $74,466. While the US models have various interior colours, in Australia with our hot climate we have black. If you jump up to the 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel 10AT Full-Time 4WD Double Cab Pick-up with an ā€œEstimated Drive Away Priceā€ not an actual drive away price, its $78,139. So have these mid-size pick ups seen their last days with GWM offering a top spec vehicle for under $50 grand or do you go whole hog and buy the RAM or equivalent for $112 grand and get something that is real, spacious and comfortable for the whole family. $112 grand is ridiculous as well. Toyota build a Tundra, which is a three hundred series Landcruiser only in a pickup, it offers the best of both worlds for families and Toyota are talking about bringing that into Oz. With no car industry in Oz, we are at the mercy of manufacturers and dealers are rubbing their hands together taking a gullible market for an expensive ride. How can manufacturers claim to be meeting family car needs, while dealers flog these out as commercial vehicles with a commercial price.

  6. 2023, ford can’t deliver the 2022, 12 month wait time, as for the excitement of the V6, Nissan Frontier in the states run a 3.8 litre V6, while fords base model engine in its ranger is 2.3 litre turbo. Most of these so called Ozzie pickups can’t carry a push bike. Your pricing is way out as well. Ranger WILDTRAK 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel 10AT Full-Time 4WD Double Cab Pick-up Estimated Drive Away Price $78,139, 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel 10AT Part-Time 4x4Double Cab Pick-up Estimated Drive Away Price $74,466, the XLT and sport isn’t much cheaper. Face Australians are robbed blind.
