Ford Australia has launched the tough new 2012 Ford Range Wildtrack ute. It’s the last variant to be launched in the new rough and ready range, featuring added equipment, and aggressive exterior styling.
There’s now 21 different variants of the 2012 Ranger on the market, with the Wildtrack being the new flagship. Inside comes with standard features such as satellite navigation system with a five-inch display, a rear-view camera, leather-accented trim with cloth sections ‘inspired by sportswear’, and a USB/iPod compatible stereo.
On the outside, the manly Wildtrack comes with a two-tone colour scheme with darkened side mirrors, door handles and front fascia, 18-inch alloy wheels, a roof rack, and an aero sports bar in the back. The Wildtrack also comes in a range of interesting exterior colours, including a new Chilli Orange, Cool White, Black Mica, Metropolitan Grey, and Highlight Silver.
