While the Ford Ranger offers everything you want from a pick-up truck as standard, there are some jobs that just need a little something extra. And so, Ford have introduced their latest special edition, the Wolftrak, which adds some extra off-road capability.
Hans Schep, General Manager, Commercial Vehicles, Ford of Europe explains: ‘Customers love the bold style and tough capability of our Ranger pick-up, so we’ve developed the new Stormtrak and Wolftrak limited edition models to offer even more of both. Wolftrak’s rugged off-road performance helps it comfortably take owners far off the beaten track for work and fun.’
Can you really take a pick-up off road?

The Wolftrak is based on the Ranger XLT series and is powered by a 170 PS 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine which delivers 420nM of torque; you can choose from either six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
And to take on tough terrain and tricky inclines, there’s a selectable four-wheel drive system as well as electronically locking rear differential and low-range four-wheel drive settings to improve performance. As you’d expect, it’s got all-terrain tyres on the 17-inch alloys to provide optimum traction whenever you need it.
So, it still works as a practical pick-up?

This vehicle has been designed by Ford to appeal to those who work in outdoor industries like farming and forestry. As such, it offers a 1.0-tonne payload and has a maximum trailer weight of 3.5 tonnes, supported by a protective bed liner as standard. There’s also the option of a matte black rear canopy or manual roller cover.

Even though this is a stripped down and practical vehicle, there are a few extra details as you might expect from a special edition. There’s black detailing across the vehicle with black alloys, along with matte black side mirrors and door handles. Adding to the imposing look are a matte black grille, bumpers and underbody protection with the rugged feel enhanced by a long-leg tubular sports bar and plastic moulded side steps. The look is completed with darkened Wolftrak badges on the door and tailgate. And there’s a great selection of colours provided; for example, grey comes in Sea Grey and Stealthy Conquer Grey as options.
What about the inside?

The black colour scheme continues inside with a matte black interior finish, alongside all-weather floor mats and a distinctive Wolftrak dashboard badge. There’s also a touch of luxury SYNC 3 entertainment system with touchscreen and navigation.
When’s it available?
The Ford Ranger Wolftrak will arrive in showrooms in October 2021 alongside the stylish Ranger Stormtrak, adding to a line-up which already includes the Ranger Raptor and the Ranger MS-RT.
