What makes the Wildtrak a Wildtrak? Is it the same as we call a Tremor?


Honesty not sure. But the Wildtrak is Bi-Turbo 4wd or 2wd. Has 360 camera, different bed cap styling and essentially loaded. Beside the Raptor it's the highest trim offering. But identical engine to the Raptor. If I were to buy one it would be a 2wd model of this.

The dealer that I got my Ranger from has a few white fleet F150's and Mavericks but no Rangers at all. I drove by there yesterday the lot is still pretty empty of any cars or trucks.

They can't even rangers park correctly overseas.

I'm not huge on the front ends, but mainly because I prefer having a separated bumper. One of the con's I had of the current gen colorados.

Well that and the fact that they are ugly, and made by GM. On the other hand with a Colorado you do meet new people. Starting with the service mgr at the stealership. You'll end up spending a lot of time talking to him.

I mean the styling was something, but I'm still a GM guy despite owning 2 fords in a row now.
The new colorado looks pretty neat despite it's giant plastic front end.

I had an 08 gmc canyon for 80k miles, all trouble free. Hopefully these new ones are built better than the 2015-2022 model year.

When I ride by local Ford stealers here, many now have a fair selection of F150's, Broncos are not uncommon, occasional (very) maverick, but Ranger are still really rare. Just odd to me. But all in all inventories are much better than they were 12 - 18 months ago. Which isn't really saying a whole lot. Heck, 18 months ago you could fire a howitzer through a stealership parking lot and not hit anything.
Your statement about '12-18 months ago and dealer lots being pretty empty', reminds me of a cruel thing i did during that time :devil:,
My '18 F150 was coming off lease and planned to buy it out i had a offer from Carvana approx $4,200 more than my buyout amount even with the sales tax i had to pay to get it titled to me.
I went to the bank to get a cashiers check to send to Ford Credit when i came out i taped a
For Sale sign on the drivers side super cab door glass (on the outside because the tinted windows wouldn't show it from inside) i then drove to the dealership i bought it from a 1/2 mile up the road.
As i pulled in strategically i drove past the front slowly where all the large glass windows are so the sales people could see it i said to my GF look across me out my window as we pass and see if they are looking, yea she says there s a guy looking out he just got up from his desk well i almost lost it laughing & giggling like a little kid.:LOL: Yea its working he's gonna come right after us.

I made a left and drove along the side of the building and parked, we got out quickly and started to walk to the back of the lot away from the building ( a longer walk for him)i acted as i was looking at their vehicles and glance to my left and here comes a salesperson, sir, sir, can i help you .
It happens to be the sales guy who originally sold it to me (and didn't like either he didn't schedule the truck to be ready for pickup as promised and other issues)
So he says hey i remember you I'm Jeff i put your deal thru i say oh yea how's things, hey you can't sell this truck IIRC you leased it you have to turn it back to us then i can get you into something new.
So i explain to him I already bought it and am selling it private party or to Carvana at a profit then I'm going to look for a replacement, but I'm not in a rush cause I'm working from home UFN, and geez you guys have slim pickens here,(playing that part up).
Well the look on his face was sweet revenge he handed me a card and said when you decide give me a call and walked away back to the building. I tossed his card in the parking lot we got back in the truck and left. Boy it felt good sticking it back to them a little.

I had two co-workers that want to get into a Ranger but they can't find one. There were some used ones but both wanted new. The selection around here for a new one is a White Fleet XL bare-bones truck mostly 2wD . One of the guys just went with a F-150 the other guy said he would just keep his eye out on the market.
