Ford has revealed its new Ranger Wildtrak X derivative in Europe, handing the double-cab bakkie distinctive external styling features that scream “Raptor-lite”.
For starters, the new Wildtrak X is offered in the “Performance Blue” metallic paint worn by the Ranger Raptor. In addition, items such as the front grille, sports bar, roof rails, side-steps, alloy wheels and Wildtrak decals gain a black finish.
The standard “roll-and-lock” load-bed cover is also finished in black. Inside, you’ll find leather seats in (you guessed it) black, with contrast stitching in “River Rock” grey.
Ford says the new Wildtrak X will be offered in double-cab form only, powered by the Ranger’s familiar 3,2-litre, five-cylinder turbodiesel engine (147 kW/470 N.m), mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 driveline.
It’s not yet clear whether Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa will consider offering this new derivative to local buyers.
[UPDATE: Ford SA tells us that it has “no plans at this stage” to offer the new Wildtrak X in South Africa.]
