Mate of mine has had the Wildtrack on order for the last 4 months.
Told he will have it Jan 2014.
What a crock.
Ford complain they dont sell enough cars.
I wonder why......
No wonder other companys are doing much better with sales atm.

No idea on update, and yes Wildtrak waiting timeframe is too long. Things are getting better in Ranger world though regarding supply.

Demand is high worldwide hence the waiting periods. XLT is def getting better though in Australia.

The speech bubble should say "I cost $2 billion to develop, Ranger only cost $1 billion, so why do I suck so bad in comparison".

Those black mouldings to stop scratches on the doors of the Colorado are very ugly and very 1990's.

So is the way it drives.

Amarok and Ranger make it feel like a semi to drive.

Probably about the same time as the Everest is released.

I've driven them and we have Hilux, Colorado and Triton at work as well as Ranger so I do get to spend some time with different models.

I know which one I would buy....

Ranger feels like a sedan....Colorado feels like an Isuzu truck
