The latest Ford Ranger limited edition is a second production run of the off-road-focused Wildtrak X – restricted to 750 examples – due by the end of March.
Ford has revived the Ranger Wildtrak X for 2025, limited to 750 examples due to commence deliveries in Australia by the end of March.
Last offered in 2023, the Ranger Wildtrak X is an upgraded version of the regular Wildtrak, with all-terrain tyres, Bilstein off-road suspension, and standard bi-turbo four-cylinder power – but with a requirement for AdBlue diesel additive.
The latest version – branded as a Model Year 2025.25 (MY25.25) build – is $1650 more expensive than its 2023 predecessor, now priced from $77,640 before on-road costs.
It is dearer than the regular Ford Ranger Wildtrak – in both bi-turbo ($69,640 plus on-road costs) and V6 ($74,840) forms – and succeeds the sold-out Tremor ($69,690), itself introduced last year to follow the original Wildtrak X.
Powering the Wildtrak X is the familiar 2.0-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine used in other models, matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
However, as with the 2023 version, the special edition has been engineered to meet stricter Euro 6 tailpipe emissions standards, requiring the use of nitrous oxide-reducing AdBlue diesel additive.
It is stored in a small tank that needs to be refuelled about every 10,000km, depending on how the vehicle is driven.
It develops 150kW/500Nm – a 4kW decrease from the standard Euro 5 bi-turbo in the regular Wildtrak – and the engine is matched with the V6's upgraded four-wheel-drive system, which is designed to be operated in 4x4 mode on sealed surfaces.
Ford quotes a maximum braked towing capacity of 3500kg.
The Wildtrak X gains 17-inch alloy wheels with General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres, which increases its wheel track widths and ground clearance by 30mm and 26mm respectively.
It also gains a revised front grille pattern, front steel bash plates, lights in the grille, and a 'flexible rack system’ with foldable roof racks and a sliding sports bar that more easily allows the ute to carry longer items.
Other new features include Bilstein dampers, heavy-duty side steps, suede and leather-trimmed seats, all-weather floor mats, and the contents of the standard Wildtrak's Premium Pack, covering matrix LED headlights, an overhead auxiliary switch panel and B&O stereo.
Black, grey and white paint finishes are included as standard, with Luxe Yellow – from the regular Ranger Wildtrak, replacing the old Wildtrak X's option of Cyber Orange – and Blue Lightning available for an extra $700.
The Wildtrak X is distinguished by unique badging on the front doors, tailgate, seats, and glovebox, while orange highlights are seen on the steering wheel and front bumper.
