Thread: Wildtrack - any good?

Hmmm maybe I should be looking at a ranger not the triton... Hen again I could almost buy two low special triton for one ranger, and then I would be driving a Ford....

Look at the dollars and the warranty. Tritons a bit of a shitter, but money in your pocket, lot of Tundras being sold up here

I love my Wildtrak ( 2016 model ) It's a grouse truck, I use it 99% on the road, it drives very well & is a great touring vehicle.

Pros - Goes & handles great, nice interior layout & styling, good size screen with decent stereo & GPS, lots of great electric gizmo's that actually work properly ( some only found on the wildtrak ) such as auto dipping headlights, active cruise control & heated seats.

Con's - The turbo is very big with a narrow power band so you need to work it for best results, Front grill / bumper styling in a bit naff, headlights are gutless & have far to narrow a beam & the door beeper ( that can't be turned off ) drives me farken bonkers.

The second generation face lift of the current model ( late 2015 onwards ) is the one to go for, plus the Wildtrak comes standard with a tow bar & deck roller, Not added extras like with some other brands

Thanks for that

Have you added any additions to it? Ie winch, etc....

Thought about sticking a light bar or decent spotlights but other than that no never bothered since it's basically a road ute, It's pretty useless on the greasy shit with the standard road HT rubber ( especially in 2WD ) but I must admit the hill decent works really well, I had to drive out from a hut high in the hills on a steep clay track after a night of heavy rain and it handled it well. Also has a rear diff lock so should be a capable off roader with decent mud feet although its quite a heavy unit @ 2.5 ton.

The boss got an led light upgrade with better spread on his as the lights pissed him off too....I think it was 500 bucks or it might have been 1500 bucks but it was one of those two.

Any one of those will have four tyres for you to kick
