2020 FORD RANGER WILDTRAK - TOP TEN MODS

We take our all-new 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak to ARB in Melbourne to get it kitted out with some heavy-duty off-road mods for our upcoming adventures.

We also give our thoughts on the Ford Wildtrak and why we picked this 4x4 Dual Cab ute. We run through our TOP 10 recommendations of what off-road modifications you need when hitting the Australian Outback.

Should just get the XLT with the tech pack. It’s essentially identical to the Wildtrack mechanically with the tech pack, the only real differences being cosmetic. Can save yourself a small fortune with the XLT, giving you more cash to splash out on modifications you might want to make. I got the 2019 model two litre bi-turbo XLT with tech pack and am extremely happy with my decision.

Contrary to the information within the video, Tech pack has been standard on Ranger XL, XLS and XLT since MY20 was released in late 2019. I also have the MY20 Wildtrak but if your looking to add a lot of mods and off road upgrades, I'd certainly be considering a cheaper XLT or even XLS as you're now getting the exact same vehicle without the fancy Wildtrak extras which now amounts to not much more than leather seats, roof rails and the rear tub roller shutter.

Make sure it's the 3.2 is my top add on lol great work looks sick

Im about to purchase from my boss, his 2021 17klms on clock 2lt bi-turbo wildtrak undisclosed low amount of money :)
I was enjoying this video, then I hated video....
Oh we like this so much we went and bought a Raptor..
Not every one has money to burn..wish vids like this had clarification that they are affiliated with a given corperation/group what not.

I just watched your towing video in which you compared the 3.2 litre to the 2.0 litre. And found the 2.0 litre superior on every measured metric. Yet I note you bought the 3.2. Are you planning on a chip / tune? I think your videos are really well done and the comparison video is one thing that really entered my own decision making process. With great power cones great responsibility. I need you to clarify this apparent contradiction. Cheers.

Nice, easy to watch video. Keep it up

G’day, great video mate. I’ve found all your ranger related videos as of late extremely informative. One thing I’d really like to ask is how you found the on-road ride of the BP51’s vs the stock ride? Cheers!

Bought a 2nd hand xlt with 48000ks for $49k. It already has all these mods including 2nd battery steel rear bar and canopy. Great truck but with all the extras now it needs a tune for more power. Please do a video and get the 3.2 tuned

I hate to be a party pooper after your towing video, but I notice you don't say anything about how this will affect my GVM, towing capacity and payload! Watching the Top Ten Mods, I would have thought you'd added between 250-500kg to the overall weight of the vehicle, which is really going to affect your GVM, GCM & towing capacity. Can you do a weighbridge run on a stock 3.2 Wildtrack & your modified one to find out the differences!

Time for some MSA or clear view towing mirrors.

[caseymelbourne]

If you are lifting your car you will need to install adjustable upper control arms or your wheels will camber

[mdkol]

Nice set up. Where do you install your onboard twin air compressor? Thanks

[PaulsMedia]

Really need some indicative costs for these!

[Mambey]

How many new cars do you have now? I've noticed the Mountainrail RV movie stars in a few ARB ads.

[kiwi]

What did all those upgrades cost $15-20k

[Mambey]

How many new cars do you have now? I've noticed the Mountainrail RV movie stars in a few ARB ads. Getting good with the cinematography.

[frankwheat]

Looks real good mod's for 4X4 driving and no tow mirrors for the road too get there, what did Ford say about the 7 year warranty is it still valid or has it been compromised ????

[simoncutajar]

Great quality content. Noticed you went the 3.2 instead of the bi turbo. Keen to hear why?

[BDTV]

Great video, but some of us operate on a budget. What kind of cost are we up for with these upgrades per item? (ball park costs)

[grantwells]

Great work Nick.
It’s just a shame in this day and age you cannot order a Ute build the way you want it. You spend 60 or 70 K then throw a few grand in the bin to put on the good stuff that 70% of us want. Spending many more Ks
I believe Tesla will let you order what you want in the original build. Just like you do when we order our campers.
