We already have evidence the Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi Wildtrak: a pick-up that promises a quantum leap. We start by consumer testing: the most committed to this great 4×4.

Yes, you read well: we started our day test in Technical Center Autopista.es with the new Ford Ranger. It is true that the pick-up are not our daily bread in our work measurements, but no less interesting. On the contrary, they represent even an extra attraction to pretty little resemble conventional cars usually we tried. Although in the near future we will have more than one at hand, as there are several models that have a major renovation in hand, at least with the new Ford Ranger and if we find a pretty significant leap in quality and refinement.

With more than 47.9 mkg of torque, villages and areas 50 km / h we travel the speed we passed in 6th or 5th gear as much, something really unusual and gives an idea of ​​its mechanical strength.
