Easy towing with the Ford Wildtrak X double cab

WE’VE been having a lot of fun in our long-term Ford Ranger Wildtrak X, and our most recent excursion involved hitching up my off-road trailer and heading to the Drakensberg.

We’ve completed almost 10 000 kilometres since its delivery, much of it on gravel roads including three weeks that included the Tankwa Karoo, Cederberg and into Die Hel in the Gamtoos Valley.

To recap, the Ranger Wildtrak X has all the upmarket goodies of the “normal” Wildtrak except the V6 power plant which is replaced by Ford’s 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine
