New Manager, New Deal: The Petrol Wildtrak That Deserves A Second Look

New Manager, New Deal: The Petrol Wildtrak That Deserves A Second Look

Author: By Independent Motoring Journalist

There's a fresh face and a fresh deal at CMH Ford Ballito, and both are worth your attention. Glenn Clifton has just taken the reins as the dealership's new car sales manager, and he's wasted no time putting together one of the sharpest offers on the North Coast this month.

The Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.3 4x2 petrol can be yours from just R9,999 a month, terms and conditions apply, with a reduced outright purchase price of R779 900. That's a saving of R124 800 off the normal price of R904,700, and on a bakkie that still turns heads doing the school run in Umhlanga or the boat launch in Ballito.

Here's the part most North Coast buyers overlook. Everyone talks diesel when it comes to the Ranger, but the 2.3 litre EcoBoost turbo petrol under the Wildtrak's bonnet quietly outguns expectations, 222kW and 452Nm sent through a slick 10 speed automatic gearbox, enough for a 0 to 100km/h sprint in around 7.5 seconds. That's genuine performance, delivered in a smooth, linear surge without the clatter, vibration or diesel particulate filter headaches that come with the oil burner. It's quieter at idle, quicker off the line, and honestly a more relaxed companion on a long Sunday drive up the coast, the kind of engine that makes you forget you're supposed to be missing the diesel torque.

Wildtrak spec means you're not compromising on presence either. Bold styling cues, a load bin built for weekend adventures, and enough tech and comfort inside to make the daily commute feel like a bonus rather than a chore. It's the bakkie that says you've arrived, without demanding you drive past the fuel pump twice a week to prove it. For buyers who spend more time in town and on tar than deep in the bush, that easy going petrol character starts to look less like a compromise and more like common sense.

Glenn's message is simple: come drive it before you decide diesel is the only way to do a Ranger properly. The petrol Wildtrak might just be the better decision for how you actually use your bakkie, and right now, it's also the smarter one on price.

CMH Ford Ballito is at 35-37 Moffat Drive, Ballito Business Park. Ask for Glenn Clifton, tell him The Bugle sent you, and find out why this Wildtrak deal won't be sitting on the floor for long. Tel: 087 723 9278.
