Review Ford Ranger 2023
The new Ford Ranger is one of the most talked about new cars in Australia, and it seems like the Wildtrak V6 is one of the models buyers are most excited about. Show Wait times at the time of writing were around six months, the longest of any Ranger model short of the Raptor. People are clamouring to get their hands on the range-topping Ranger Wildtrak. Expectations on top-end versions of modern dual-cab utes like the Ranger Wildtrak are high. Along with the ability to haul a load, they need to come with a full suite of active safety features, comfortable interiors, and four-wheel drive kit that’s simple enough to get amateur off-roaders to a muddy campsite without getting bogged. It’s not an easy task, but the 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak is more than up to task. How much does the Ford Ranger Wildtrak V6 cost?With a sticker price north of $70,000 before on-road costs, the Ranger Wildtrak is a pricey truck. It’s $3000 more expensive than the Wildtrak Bi-Turbo, and $4000 more expensive than the Ranger Sport V6 sitting one rung below it in the line-up. The equivalently-priced HiLux is the Rogue ($70,200) which is more off-road oriented, but doesn’t pack V6 power or offer the same level of luxury behind the wheel. The Nissan Navara Warrior Pro-4X Warrior auto ($70,590) is similarly off-road oriented as the Rogue but with less interior luxuries again, while the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain undercuts the Wildtrak at $64,990 drive-away. 2022 Ford Ranger Wildtrak
