The 2023 Ford Everest Wildtrak is the family SUV that nicked the Ranger’s hiking boots and looks better for it.
Under the bonnet is the Ranger’s 3.0‑litre V6 turbo‑diesel with about 184 kW and 600 Nm, a 10‑speed auto and full‑time 4WD, so overtakes and towing are less sweaty‑palms.
It’ll lug up to 3,500 kg braked, seat seven, and still dish out the soft‑touch niceties and big screens you wanted after pretending you only needed a ‘runabout’.
Ride quality is settled for the school run, yet the off‑road hardware doesn’t feel like cosplay; tyres aside, it’ll actually do the thing.
Downsides? It’s not cheap (think mid-$70k AUD before on‑roads), the 20‑inch wheels can thump, and the third row is adult‑tolerable rather than adult‑friendly.
If you want your sensible wagon with a dash of hi‑vis bravado, the Wildtrak flavour nails the brief without going full luxury peacock.
