The Ford Ranger (T6) Thread

Ford Ranger Wildtrak X

Ford Pro revealed the new Ranger Wildtrak X and Ranger Tremor - two exciting off-road focused models for the best-selling pickup's most comprehensive line-up ever in Europe.

Targeting customers who require enhanced capability in challenging off-road conditions, both models feature a substantially reworked chassis with unique suspension upgrades including advanced Bilstein dampers as standard. Off-road focused driver assistance systems provide enhanced confidence, while the two new Ranger variants possess a rugged new style that reflects their prowess in tough conditions.

Ford Ranger Wildtrak X and Tremor offer the segment-first Flexible Rack System option to maximise load-carrying ability for longer items. The easy-to-use system will also be available as an option for Ranger Wildtrak.

"The new Ranger Wildtrak X and Tremor series follow the same recipe as our iconic Ranger Raptor; each one adds even more off-road ability and stunning looks to Europe's most popular pickup. Together, they broaden the latest Ranger family to new levels, strengthening its appeal to more customers than ever," said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe.

The introduction of Ranger Wildtrak X and Tremor follows Ranger's best-ever sales performance in Europe in 2022. A record market share of 44.9 per cent and year-on-year share growth of 18 per cent capped eight consecutive years of segment leadership. Order books for both new models open from March 2023, with deliveries set from August 2023.

Ford Ranger gains rugged Wildtrak X and Tremor off-road specials

Both variants of Ford's new pick-up truck offer bolstered off-roading and unique design features

The Ford Ranger pick-up truck has gained two variants that emphasise its off-road credentials, with technical upgrades, a modified chassis and unique design features.

Named Wildtrak X and Tremor, the two specifications are available to order from this month and will be priced from £41,000 and £34,500 respectively (without VAT). Deliveries are set to begin in August.

The Wildtrak X builds on the existing Wildtrak. It raises the Ranger’s ride height by 26mm and increases its track width by 30mm, also equipping strengthened, position-sensitive Bilstein dampers, all to bolster its off-road capabilities.

Live life one muddy incline at a time? These new Ford Rangers might be the start of your next build

Wildtrak X and Tremor versions give the Ranger even more off-road clout. Because that’s what was clearly lacking here

What’s the most important thing to off-roading types? Besides an ARB catalogue, of course.

It’s simple, really: knowing that the rig they’re running can be pointed at whichever horizon feels most attractive, and will clomp and claw its way to that horizon, regardless of the geography on the way.

That goal translates to some equally simple parameters for what makes an off-roader a good starting point for their build*. The 4x4 in question will need... well, to be a 4x4, of course. The proper kind, with full-time four-wheel drive and many massive meshing cogs to ensure it remains so. It’ll also need the kind of ground clearance usually reserved for giraffes, a wide track to make sure it doesn’t topple over and the kind of tyres that make molehills out of mountains.

And to find that the latest versions of the new Ford Ranger have full-time 4WD and massive all-terrain tyres, and sit 26mm further from the ground while stretching another 30mm across it from side to side... well, you can see what Ford has in mind for its latest versions of the Ranger: the Wildtrak X and Tremor.

Another Off-Road Special? Ford Ranger Tremor Revealed!

First the Stormtrak, then the Wildtrak X and now the Ford Ranger Tremor. Yes, the Blue Oval brand has revealed yet another derivative of its new bakkie…

Ford in Europe has whipped the wraps off its new Ranger Tremor, an “off-road focused” version of the double-cab bakkie featuring a “substantially reworked chassis” with special suspension upgrades.

The Ranger Tremor is based on the XLT derivative but shares various chassis and technology upgrades – plus the new full-time all-wheel-drive system – with the recently revealed Wildtrak X. Like that higher-spec model, Ford says the Tremor has been designed for buyers who require “enhanced capability in challenging off-road conditions”.

Upgrades over the XLT include position‑sensitive Bilstein dampers, off-road-focused driver-assistance systems (such as Trail Turn Assist and Trail Control), all-terrain tyres and model-specific styling. There’s also the Dearborn-based firm’s new Flexible Rack System – optional on the Tremor and comprising a folding roof rack with adjustable sliding rear load hoop – designed to maximise load-carrying ability for longer items.

3 days, crazy terrain: we put the new Ford Ranger Single and Super Cab bakkies to the test

Production for local and export consumption to more than 100 markets of the new Ford Ranger in Silverton, Pretoria is in full swing, with the Single Cab and Super Cab bakkies joining the recently launched double cabs.

Of course, the Raptor is also in the mix but that’s put together in Thailand.

South Africa is a large consumer of especially Single Cabs, which are used by small-, medium- and large-sized businesses to cart around everything from courier parcels and sand to paraffin and everything in between.

Sales of the Super Cab variants are on the up too as buyers look to combine more interior space, comfort and decent load capacity while being able to claim the VAT back.

We got to drive the new Ford Ranger models from Joburg to Gqeberha over three days, in a trip that included humanitarian stops along the way and some crazy terrain to experience them first hand, and we came away suitably impressed.

First, though, there’s a slew of options in the range, starting with four Single Cab models and six Super Cab variants including one in Wildtrak 4x4 specification for the first time.

There are two engine options, three gearbox options and a choice of either 4x2 or 4x4.

Ford’s 2.0-litre single turbo with 125kW and 405Nm is slotted into all XL Single Cab models and three XL Super Cab derivatives with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox and a choice of 4x2 or electronic shift on the fly 4x4 systems. There’s also a higher spec – XLT 4x2 Super Cab – with the same engine and the six-speed automatic transmission.

 
Ford Ranger production grinds to a halt after Pretoria power lines collapse

Ford South Africa has been forced to temporarily halt production at its Silverton assembly plant east of Pretoria after six power lines collapsed in Pretoria on Monday night, leaving large parts of the city without power.

The new Ford Ranger, which is built at the Gauteng plant, is one of South Africa’s biggest automotive exports, reaching over 100 global markets.

Ford SA’s corporate communications manager Duduzile Nxele confirmed to IOL on Tuesday that all three shifts at the plant were suspended, resulting in a production loss of around 720 bakkies per day.

“We are working with both the City of Tshwane and Eskom to resolve the issue, but as yet do not have an indication of when power will be fully restored to our facilities,” Nxele added.

 
Ford Ranger production resumes ‘slowly’ after Pretoria power restored

Ford was forced to suspend production at its Silverton assembly plant east of Pretoria on Tuesday after six power lines collapsed in Pretoria on Monday night, but production has now resumed following quicker-than-expected restoration.

Ford released a statement late on Thursday afternoon, confirming that power had been restored to the area in stages, starting on the evening of April 12, and that production at the Silverton plant had slowly resumed.

“The estimated total loss of production to date is 1440 units. Due to the scale of the Eskom infrastructure concern there remains some risk of interrupted supply - however we continue to liaise with Eskom and local government as they work to balance the system and fully restore the network,” corporate communications manager Duduzile Nxele said.

The prolonged outage was caused by the collapse of six 132 kV power lines on the N4 freeway, and leaving large parts of Pretoria East and North without power.
