2015 Ford Ranger Wildtrack 3.2D

The 2015 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2D (PX MkII mid-lifecycle facelift) is an imposing and highly versatile dual-cab utility vehicle that played a definitive role in shifting the pickup market from purely commercial workhorses into luxury lifestyle vehicles. Built on Ford’s globally proven T6 platform, the 2015 update injected the Wildtrak with a far more assertive, American-truck-inspired identity. This aesthetic overhaul swapped the softer face of its predecessor for a bold, dark metallic grey trapezoidal front grille, squinting projector headlights, and a highly recognizable aerodynamic rear sports hoop roll bar, making it an instant aspirational status symbol for families, outdoor adventurers, and tradespeople alike. Beneath its tough sheet metal lies the mechanical core that earned this truck a cult-like following: the legendary 3.2-litre inline 5-cylinder Duratorq TDCi turbo-diesel engine. Generating 147 kW (197 horsepower) and an immense 470 Nm of peak torque from as low as 1,750 rpm, this big-displacement, unstressed powertrain delivers an effortlessly linear surge of pulling power that small-displacement twin-turbo competitors struggled to match under heavy loads. Power is sent through a smooth, heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission. For navigating demanding terrain, the Wildtrak features an intelligent Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly (ESOF) part-time 4WD transfer case alongside a standard electronic locking rear differential, enabling the truck to easily conquer deep mud, rocky inclines, or a steep 800mm river crossing, all while maintaining a massive 3,500 kg braked towing capacity.
