My New Gen 6 Ranger

[Equitasforall]

Howdee gang! Introducing myself as the owner of a brand new Gen 6 Ranger WildTrak. Picked it up on 12 January 2023 and gotta say, most of y’all are going to love it! I say most because after being on other forums for my Bronco, Jeeps, and Raptors, I know there are those on forums that basically hate everything!

Initial shakedown cruise showed that even bone stock this is one tough truck. We ended up covering the entire range of conditions: pavement, gravel, dirt, mud, deep loose sand, multiple river crossings, steep climbs coming out of the river up sandy and rocky embankments. You name it, we likely crossed it. Did great!

Phenomenal interior. Great ride. Great tech. More to follow but initial thoughts all include “wow.”

Congrats, it looks great!! I'm looking forward to seeing the 6G here later this summer. More specific the Ranger Raptor as I really hope to get one. Good luck with yours and let us know how you like it after you get some miles on it.

Love the Ranger Raptor and really wanted one. They’re all over the place here. Just couldn’t justify the price. The WildTrak is just about equivalent to the Tremor from what I can tell. I really hope a lot of the features on this one transfer over there. It’s a seriously well made, well equipped vehicle.

Good to hear about the features and usually most do transfer over to here. The price of the Raptor is still unknown here and that'll be the deciding factor. Going off the Aussie pricing it should be in the $60K range. ?‍ If it ends up a lot more I'll just hang onto my 5G and look for something else.

I was jealous until that giant screen popped up. I'll stick to fiddling with my knobs. I'm just trying to delude myself

So the new Raptor here is running about 80k (USD) on the lot. Insane markups are not unique to the US! The WildTrak was $51500, but that included my fees to do the wire transfer from my US Bank in order to pay for it. Would pay that back in the states for it in a second for as loaded up as it is too.

Of note, there didn’t seem to be any supply chain constraints either. No missing modules or dumbed down versions as far as I can tell. Thing’s got it all!

Now I just wish I could take it home with me when my time here is up… would love to park it next to the Bronco!

Still have climate knobs and volume control knobs… they’re located at the bottom under the screen! Right in reach for the hand resting on the gear shift!

the screen was too big and I couldn't see them. I don't want to look at the pics again... I just cleaned up the drool

If it's $80K here I'm out. lol Heck I only paid $100K for my house when I bought it on a short sale. Now way I'd spend that much on a truck. Only good thing is I'm "supposed" to be getting it for msrp but I'll believe it when I see it.

By the time they become available for us it will only have 3 wheels and 2 plastic seats

With all the constraints and recalls we'll be lucky to get this.
