Ford Ranger Wildtrak X (2023) Price & Specs

Ford’s new Ranger Wildtrak X boasts a wider track, special Bilstein dampers, bespoke exterior styling and more. Here’s what you can expect to pay in South Africa!

Meet the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak X. Yes, Ford has squeezed a fresh variant into the gap between the Wildtrak and the full-fat Raptor, handing the newcomer a wider track, special Bilstein dampers and a couple of extra off-road goodies.

Of course, the newcomer is produced at Ford’s Silverton facility here in South Africa. For the record, the old Wildtrak X didn’t ever make it to local roads.

“The Ranger Wildtrak range has been immensely popular in South Africa for more than a decade due to its trend-setting style, peerless status, innovative suite of driver assistance technologies and exceptional performance,” said Doreen Mashinini, General Manager for Marketing at Ford South Africa. “With the Wildtrak X we’re giving this prized nameplate a more muscular character and even greater off-road capability, enabling our customers to push the boundaries of an active, outdoor lifestyle.”

And the price? Well, the new Wildtrak X debuts at R1 013 000, which sees it positioned just below the V6-powered Wildtrak (R1 026 400) and 292 kW Raptor (R1 184 100).

How much does the Ford Ranger Wildtrak X cost in South Africa?

Another million buck bakkie for SA: Ford Ranger Wildtrak X price announced

It wasn’t too long ago that South Africans baulked at the idea of a bakkie costing a million rand, but today there are seven double cab derivatives over that mark, including the flagship Toyota Hilux.

Actually you can now make that eight, as the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak X has just been announced for the local market, with a price tag set at R1 013 000.

Interestingly, that makes it R13 400 less expensive than the Ranger Wildtrak 3.0 V6 diesel, but keep in mind that instead of the latter engine, the Wildtrak X has the less powerful 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel that produces 154kW and 500Nm.

But while it loses out on the bigger engine, the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak X does gain some really cool off-roading hardware for those who like venturing far into the wilderness.

Think if it as something of a Raptor Lite, if you will.

Forget the V6. My BiTurbo has plenty of shove and runs rings around my old 3.2 manual.

Is the X worth R83k over the BiTurbo 4x4? That's the question I'm struggling to answer. With nearly 6 months of living with the "standard" Wildtrak, I certainly don't see value in any of the X's non suspension extras.

And don't get me started on the "X's" tyres with white lettering!!

It looks decent. But the only thing really going for it is the suspension, the rest are cosmetics.
The tyres can be turned around so the white lettering ar one the inside.

I did about 60k km with a set of General Grabber AT3's before I sold my V6 Amarok and they still had plenty of life left. Brilliant tyre.
 
SA’s best-selling double-cab bakkies YTD (August 2023)

It’s a question we’re often asked: which bakkie leads the double-cab sales race in South Africa? Well, we finally have the answer. Check out year-to-date sales for Mzansi’s most popular double cabs…

Month in and month out, we collate a list of South Africa’s most-popular bakkies, based on sales figures that incorporate all 3 body styles. But there’s a question that’s often left unanswered: which is the best-selling double-cab bakkie in the land? Yes, you asked and we listened.

Since Naamsa’s monthly sales figures unfortunately don’t include a breakdown of the available bakkie body styles (single-, extended- and double-cab shapes), we’ve turned to our studious friends over at Lightstone Auto for a little help to identify Mzansi’s best-selling double-cab bakkies over the opening 8 months of 2023.

According to Lightstone Auto, double-cab derivatives of all other bakkies available in this body style total 11 609 units, year to date.

SA’s best-selling double-cab bakkies YTD (August 2023)

1. Ford Ranger – 13 892 units

2. Toyota Hilux – 12 291 units

3. Isuzu D-Max – 6 125 units
