The go-anywhere truck boasts a "specifically tuned" suspension for long trips and carrying cargo without compromising comfort. Additional exterior equipment changes for the Ranger Wildtrak X includes Ford’s new flexible rack system, consisting of folding roof racks and a sliding load rack which are fitted to the Ranger.
