4x4 FOR SALE

2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak X dual cab
- 2.0lt twin turbo diesel four-cylinder
- 10-speed sports automatic
- Dual range four-wheel drive
- Nudge bar, weather shields, tow bar
- Powered roller shutter for tray
- Aftermarket wheels and cosmetic add-ons
It’s been the best-selling new car in Australia for the past three years, so it’s fair to say the Ranger sells itself. Nearly a decade after the end of Ford’s local manufacturing operations, Aussies have made the transition from Falcon utes to the Ranger – in droves. Extensive local engineering and testing - that other rivals in the dual cab ute market can’t really match - are a big part of the Ranger’s Australian success.
Although the Ranger model name had history in the USA, its Australian story began with the presentation of the ‘PX Series’ at the 2010 Sydney Motor Show, followed by a local release a year later.
More car-like in terms of ride and comfort than some of Ford’s previous truck-based light commercials, like the Courier, the Ranger boasted better safety equipment, too. Engine choices from launch covered 2.2-litre four- and 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbodiesels, and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that was only available as a 4x2. An array of available body styles included single cab, extra cab and dual cab utes, and cab chassis variants. Model grades included XL, XLS and XLT, with the premium Wildtrak at the top of the tree initially.
The PX MkII Ranger launched in 2015, bringing the restyled front end that most will be familiar with, along with improvements to the safety equipment, steering and suspension. Both turbodiesels were improved, too, with the 2.2 version gaining more power, and the 3.2 introducing a new turbo and upgraded fuel injection.
In 2018, the PX MkIII arrived, replacing the 2.2 t/d with a 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel that produced 157kW and an impressive 500Nm. Matched to a 10-speed automatic transmission, this engine was limited to the flagship Ranger Raptor initially, but has since trickled down to other grades in the range.
The all-new ‘Next-Gen’ Ranger launched in 2022, but the PX Series remains popular in the second-hand market.
For a 2021 Ranger like the one featured, Wildtrak was one of a broad array of trim levels that included FX4 and Sport grades, plus a Hi-Rider 4x2. The base XL continued to enjoy a following as a workhorse light commercial, with the XLS and XLT filling a role, too, while the Wildtrak remained a popular choice, offering upgraded specs and strong off-road capability, but a cheaper entry point than the Raptor.
Available drivetrain combinations for a 2021 Wildtrak were a 3.2-litre turbodiesel five-cylinder, matched a six-speed manual or six-speed auto, or the aforementioned 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel four, which was only available with the 10-speed automatic. Dual-range four-wheel drive was a standard Wildtrak feature, regardless of the engine and transmission combination, along with diff locks. A 3,500kg braked towing capacity was common to all MY21 Ranger Wildtraks, but the 2.0/10spd combo had slightly better payload capacity.
The vehicle featured is a Wildtrak X, which Ford originally introduced as a limited-edition in 2020, then brought back in 2021. Added extras over the standard Wildtrak included wheelarch extensions, a nudge bar with 20.5-inch LED light strip, chunkier side steps, illuminated sill plates, orange accents to the sailplane sports bar, wider (35mm) offset wheels, and a revised grille design. There were also black exterior accents, but their impact is lost against this vehicle’s Shadow Black paint, which was one of five colours available. Search for an image of a Wildtrak X in another colour and you’ll see the difference these cosmetic touches made.
A deeper dive into the spec for an MY21 PX MkIII Ranger Wildtrak X reveals 18-inch alloys with a full-size steel spare, roof rails, a sailplane-style sports bar, powered and heated exterior mirrors, a tub liner and powered roller shutter for the 1464mm x 1520mm tub, auto LED headlights, LED DRLs and foglamps, puddle lamps in the mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, rear privacy glass and remote central locking.
Externally, Wildtrak X identification was limited to the lower front doors and tailgate. It’s certainly less in-your-face than the Raptor, although the owner of this example has added the bold ‘FORD’ grille insert from that model, plus some bonnet cladding. Wheels on this example are aftermarket, too.
Inside, standard features included power windows front and rear, dual zone climate control, push-button starting, ambient lighting and a six-speaker sound system with CD player, DAB+ radio and aux input USB socket. The centre console infotainment display is an 8.0-inch unit, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, plus satnav, under Ford’s Sync 3 system. For the driver, a central analogue speedometer featured configurable digital screens either side to display vehicle data, phone and media information – selected via the leather-trimmed steering wheel. There was also voice recognition, plus the ability to activate vehicle functions remotely with the FordPass Connect app.
Seats in soft-touch material were accented in leather and gained Wildtrak identification up front, plus orange stripes and contrasting orange stitching front and rear. There was also front seat heating and power adjustment for the driver’s seat. The rest of the cabin’s touch points featured soft-touch materials, too.
Storage options were limited to the glovebox, centre console and front seat backs. Cupholders are only in the front row, although there is a fold-down armrest for the rear seats. Charge points include a 12V and two USB ports up front, and a 230V port for rear seat occupants.
Safety spec was impressive when the MY21 Ranger Wildtrak was new, resulting in the maximum 5-star ANCAP rating. Along with head-level airbags for the first and second row seats, the first row included side airbags. Safety tech started with ABS, EBD, ESC, Traction Control and Rollover Stability Control. To this, the Wildtrak also offered Hill Descent Control and Trailer Sway Control, Emergency Crash Avoidance with pedestrian detection and brake assist. Lane Departure Warning, Active Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collion Alert and Driver Attention Detection.
For easier parking and manoeuvring, automated steering assist complements the rear-view camera, and front and rear parking sensors. Adaptive Cruise Control is standard, too.
Fuel capacity is 80 litres, with listed fuel economy of 7.4lt/100km (combined cycle). As with most diesels from this period, it’s worth investigating if the DPF has been cleaned or replaced.
Key dimensions are 5446mm x 1977mm x 1848mm (LxWxH, excl. mirrors), with a 3220mm wheelbase, 12.7m turning circle and 2246kg kerb weight.
More relevant for off-road work is the Wildtrak’s 1560mm track (front and rear), 237mm ground clearance and 800mm wading depth. Front overhang is 928mm and rear overhang is 1226mm, resulting in approach/departure/breakover angles of 29/21/25 degrees..
As already mentioned, towing capacity is 3,500kg (braked), with payload capacity of 954kg.
As offered, this Ranger Wildtrak X includes a few non-factory features, like a set of Diesel ‘Hurricane’ aftermarket wheels, weathershields and some bonnet cladding. Listed mileage at time of writing was 128,506km.
Kingz Motors describe this Ranger Wildtrak X as “a powerhouse of performance and sophistication” and “exuding an aura of strength and elegance that sets it apart from the crowd”.
