I was actually pretty surprised he didn't go with the Raptor. Gotta say, not a fan of the styling on these trucks in the global market.

I think the Raptor's max payload and towing is pretty significantly less than the Wildtrak, maybe that's why?

He had the Raptor a couple years ago and made several short videos of it. Taking wife, kids, or colleagues somewhere and then driving down an off-road “shortcut”. He called it his mid-life crisis vehicle.

EDIT:
here ya go

Groceries? Downsides? Puh---leeeze!

A bed extender will keep the groceries near the tailgate.

Like so.

There's always an accessory out there to help with the downsides.
Ugh, more stuff that I must buy now ...

Yeah I saw those awhile ago. I didn't get the impression that he bought it, but that it was just a fun promo campaign they did with Ford.

NOOOOO, He may be OK, but do you want someone on the forum who can't tell the difference between a car and a truck ???

He didn't actually own it; those were promo videos he did for Ford. He had to give the truck back. He actually bought and paid for the Wildtrack.
