Okay I have to say the unpopular thing, it looks way too much like the Sport trac for my liking… I’m seriously not liking it.. but that’s just me…

I’m not a huge fan of the bar on it. Would much rather have the steel tube bar that’s stock on the “sport” and available on the XLT. I’m more than likely going to swap it out when I do the bull bar, provided doing so doesn’t screw with my power rolling tonneau cover that’s stock on the WildTrak.

Definitely can see what you mean about the old SportTrac…. Especially with the roof rails. Give me a bit and I’ll get it all fixed up!

Not sure what you mean… but I guess with the right tools, some duct tape, a little beer and determination anything’s possible!!

Bought my Ranger in November 2019, somewhat rare in the US at the time had it 3 weeks, parked it and flew to Australia.

Went on surfing holiday from Noosa to Byron Bay and hung out in Brisbane quite a bit. All up and down the Gold Coast, Rangers were EVERYWHERE, l mean all over the place. Really made my trip.

Thanks for sharing pics, most helpful.

By the way, I love your country and the people, friendly, good looking, rugged and chill.

My wife's hyundai has a blinding screen and it's only the size of my hand. i was wondering what it's like with the big screen tv in your face at night

To follow up on our previous discussion, I snapped a pic this morning to show the ambient lighting as well as the brightness of the screens. Hope this helps!

Oh I agree completely… however, as giant screens go I was glad this one was at least integrated into the dashboard like my Bronco, as opposed to looking like an iPad that some kid leaned up against the counter or stuck on with some duct tape and a little hope!

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.

I built my house myself in 2013 for 50k.... ? everything seems too expensive too me

Damn dude did you build a tree fort? One of the houses I built back east in '93 cost me $80K and that was just the house. It was around 1650 sq ft and I had already owned the land prior. But everything's always been really expensive back there.

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 on the new truck!


but am i the only one who isnt a fan of the next gen? dont get me wrong it looks nice but idk its body is eh?

Thanks! And no, you aren’t the only one that thinks that, and that’s ok. If everyone agrees on everything all the time only one person is really doing the thinking.

While I don’t mind the exterior, I actually preferred the look of the Sport better than the WildTrak. In the food chain the Sport falls between the XLT and WildTrak. Price wise though the ‘Trak was more worth the money. I went with the Ranger in general over some of the competitors because it seemed to be the best combination of capabilities, comfort, equipment, and price, with the look being really bottom of the list.

Thanks Tracy! The interior is probably second on my list of favorites (in non-luxury category) of any vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’d put it right behind my Gen 2 Raptor.

Fit and finish is excellent. Comfort, including quiet cabin, layout, seating comfort and ride comfort is exceptional. Tech, layout, room, and features is well thought out. Very pleased by it.

When I put that with the capability it’s win win. I’ve gone places in this thing already that I didn’t expect to go in a brand new vehicle that is still bone stock. It didn’t flinch and acted like it wanted more!

Im beyond impressed.
