The off-road-ready Ford Ranger Wildtrak X will return to Australia in 2025, but once again it’ll be for a limited time only.
The limited edition model will be priced at $77,640 (Manufacturer List Price; including GST) when it arrives in the first quarter of 2025, giving it a $1650 bump compared to the 2023 edition at launch. This positions the Wildtrak X between the stock Wildtrak V6 ($74,840) and Platinum V6 ($80,640) on the model hierarchy.
Just like the 2023 edition, the latest Wildtrak X improves on the regular Wildtrak by adding unique Bilstein-tuned (position-sensitive) dampers with remote nitrogen filled reservoirs, and by increasing both the track width (+30mm) and ground clearance (+26mm). The powertrain is also carried over from the 2023 edition, with the Wildtrak X exclusively running the 150kW/500Nm 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine and 10-speed auto combination.

Its tough exterior – identical to the MY23 version – features an updated grill; heavy duty side steps; a front steel bash plate; 3D exterior badging; and a black front bumper and wheel arch mouldings. It will roll on 17-inch alloy wheels housed inside General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres. The Flexible Rack System seen on the MY23 variant also returns, making it easier to load and unload kit atop the Ranger.
What is new for 2025 is the addition of a 400W power inverter in the rear console and tray, as well as Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
“The Ranger Wildtrak X brings together a number of elements that have made the Ranger family Australia’s number one choice of new vehicle two years’ in a row,” said Mathew Slade, Ranger Product and Retail Marketing Manager, Ford Australia.
“It builds on the legendary Wildtrak nameplate, adds serious off-road chops thanks to the trick Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, and clever everyday useability with the Flexible Rack System – a classic example of Aussie ingenuity!”
The return of the Wildtrak X follows yesterday’s announcement confirming the Everest Wildtrak is also coming back to local showrooms, following its sell-out success in 2023.
Both vehicles are currently in production, with first deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2025. Ford will release 750 examples of the Ranger Wildtrak X to the Australian market.
