I’ve had my MY19 Ranger Wildtrak BiTurbo since January and other than a slight hesitation from the gears when starting off especially at traffic lights I cannot fault it in any way. I have to agree that it’s more like a SUV than a Ute and I think a better ride than the Prado I traded in. The engine and cabin are incredibly quiet, the steering and handling are wonderful and the economy of between 8 and 9 litres per hundred very easy to live with. I believe it’s one of the best utes around and definitely the best one I have owned . It is much more pleasing to own than that other one that is still number 1. I have also found that my Ford dealer and the service department have been great in their customer service. I have no hesitation in recommending this Ute.

Works great for us. Under New Zealand laws a ute like the Ranger can legally tow more than anything else. Something like a Landcruiser 200 would tow better obviously, but we are limited to 6,000kg GVM regardless of the tow vehicle. 2 ton ute, 3,500kg boat and 500kg left over for payload works fine.

T6. All of the PX range (1, 2 & 3) are T6. Before the PX3 was released there was suggestion that the next model would be a T7 for the US release, but it wasn't the case & they got a variation on the T6 PX3

It crazy how they are trying to push the 2.0 vs the 3.2. One is a car engine one is a truck engine. They have reintroduced the 3.2 in 🇬🇧

I traded my 2018 Ranger Wildtrak for the new 2020 Raptor. Worse mistake I ever made. Raptor looks and drives great, but can't tow, and can't over take very easily on a highway.

Ford is number one but i prefer the 2.2 liter or the 3.2 litre diesel

3.2 is the way. A 10 speed gear box is just to much. It will get hot fast when under load. Maybe if they came with a trans oil cooler it may be better

My 2019 Wildtrak has gaps under the side profile of the sports bar which should be sealed water tight against the top of the rear tub. The idiots at the factory have been fitting them incorrectly on literally hundreds of Wildtraks but when I raised the issue with Ford Australia, I've received every ridiculous excuse under the sun as to why the gaps are there, other than an admission that they actually stuffed up. If you stand at the rear wheels and look at the rear tip of the sports bar on the Wildtrak just above the rear lights and can see clear daylight between the two parts then you also have one of the hundreds of defected Wildtraks. Take it back to your dealer and demand a repair. The metalwork of the rear tub has been distorted upwards due to excess force being used to install some steel inserts which they use to bolt down the side profile of the sports bar. The net result is that side profile is then raised and can't seal properly on to the top of the tub.

Cars guide wtf ? I was very disappointed with your weight calculations. You have forgotten all about maximum axel loading The rear axel on all these duel cab utes is about 1.8 or 1.9 tons with the front axel being about 1.4 ton. Being that the whole payload is on the rear axel and the passengers being centred spreed the weight on both axels you will be hard pressed to load 954kg and stay within your rear axel load limits. Is this a serious review or just and ad for Ford cause they lent you a car?
