BRENTWOOD, Essex, 08 August, 2005
Ford Motor Company today announced a new special edition Ford Ranger Wildtrak. Available as a Double-Cab, loaded with extras and priced at £19,100 OTR, the Wildtrak is designed and equipped specifically for the outdoor adventure sports devotee, looking for both head turning looks and real-world functionality.
With its outstanding selectable 4×4 capability, the Ranger Wildtrak is the ideal vehicle to transport the active sportsperson to the most extreme terrain, anywhere in the world.
Wildtrak stands apart from the existing Ranger line-up with a unique metallic red two-tone paint option, available as part of a five-colour line-up. A variety of sporty interior and exterior styling cues ensure Wildtrak is as visually exciting as it is uncompromising – both on and off road.
On the outside Wildtrak sports a unique front grille, functional roof bars and side steps. A stylish front over-rider, unique aluminium sports bar and colour-coded door handle protectors at the side and rear complete the exterior additions.
Outstanding functionality has not been achieved at the expense of interior luxury, and this special edition is equipped to the same level as a premium family car. Wildtrak is the first Ford vehicle to be launched in the UK with a fully integrated DAB digital radio with MP3 technology as part of the standard specification. Further refinements include stylish two-tone leather seats, air-conditioning, ABS and driver and passenger airbags.
With its generous payload and spacious rear load box, the sports enthusiast has all the capacity necessary to take on even the toughest of challenges. For added flexibility, Wildtrak comes complete with a load liner and lockable roll ‘n’ lock “Mountain Top” cover. When locked the cover ensures that the load bed is the ideal location for storing equipment. When an open bed is required, rolling the shutter back enables larger loads to be carried with ease.
