Hi Guys, just purchased 2011 pk ranger manual transmission and am concerned that gear shift feels pretty notchy and and sometimes does not engage gear smoothly, kind of clunks. Any advice would be good or if any others are experiencing the same issue it would be good to hear. Thanks

My tonneau leaks cos it doesn’t shut flush. Also it would rattle open after being locked shut dealership “fixed” it by adding a screw to the locking mechanism, now I have a dent in the top of the cover from what they did. Dealership said I was the only one with a problem so I should talk to Ford Customer Service. It’s now being replaced under warranty…..hope the new one will stay shut. It has been a pain, but everything else is good. I use it to work on my property and tow horses. You can get a remote tail gate lock from “Pop n Lock” a US website. In short car is good but dealership sux.

Hi
I purchased a new Wiltrak it my 2nd Ranger and I am not impressed!!
We live in Queensland Australia and when it rains the car constantly looses control.
Car has been back to ford and the head mechanic drove it and the service manager they agree there is a problem. Ford Motor Co just dont care!!!!!!
I have found another person in our small country town with the same issue. DOES ANY ONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE? lets get together.
All Ford say is replace the tyres at my exspenceQ they are kidding right? Had issue from day 1 and now have 7000km on clock and getting worse. WAKE UP FORD DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

I took a manual Wiltrak for a test drive yesterday and was very impressed. I was concerned that after reading the brochure and seeing how good it looks on paper that i would be dissapointed when i took it for a drive. I could not have been more impressed if i tried. I love the look of it, it has plenty of torque and a 1 tonne pay load which is more than could be said for some of the other utes on the market.

Yes the cover does leak,it tells you this in the manual that comes with it,and it is not a ford product.

i have recently brought the PK wildtrak because i live out of town i need a 4×4 but i wanted something with a bit of style aswell, sadly with only 5 thousand km it already has problems’ cruise control not working, door lights not working, four wheel drive light on the dash not working. nothing to major but annoying after spend close to 60k for this car, and having to go back into town getting these things fixed.
