The Ford Ranger Stormtrak is a stylish take on the premium double cab formula, made popular by the Wildtrak. Find out how it differs from the rest of the range here and why we think this one deserves your consideration.

The Ford Ranger as we know it is about to change. The launch of the new Ranger is imminent and media sources are abuzz with images, info and opinions on what this new model has in store for us. The current Ranger isn't dead just yet though and now is the ideal time to snag an excellent deal on the last of this current T6 range as dealers make space for the new stock.

To help celebrate an excellent run, Ford introduced the Ranger Stormtrak, a tweaked version of the Wildtrak with some extras to make it truly 'pop'. It's a great proposition for the buyer that is looking for something a little different but doesn't want to go the aftermarket route but still insists on making a statement.

Here are 5 things that we love about the Ford Ranger Stormtrak that helps make it unique and special.

 

1. 3D badging

The Ranger Stormtrak does away with the simple stickers on the doors and tailgate and instead employs two-tone, raised badges finished off in red and black. These rally do stand out and make the Stormtrak look like the premium vehicle that it is.

 

2. Electronic roller shutter

The Stormtrak is equipped with an electronic roller shutter for the load bin that can be operated from inside the cabin, from the load bin, or from the remote. A single press of the interior or load bin buttons will see the aluminium roller shutter retract or close and it can be stopped part way to keep the bin partially covered. Great for when you have oversized goods but want to protect the rest of your load. A double press on the remote performs the same function.

 

3. Front grille

Setting the Stormtrak apart from the rest of the noise is a flashy front grille and lower bumper grille. These are finished off in gloss black with the Ford Mustang-like 'nostrils' receiving a lick of red detailing to highlight this styling feature.

 

4. Black details

It's not only the grilles that get the gloss black treatment and the Stormtrak wears gloss black roof rails, mirrors, side steps and a gloss black set of 18-inch alloy wheels. It creates a striking contrast when paired with a light colour like our Frozen White example here.

 

5. Interior trim

The cabin of the Stormtrak is a luxurious affair (as far as double cabs go) and it's awash with leather, Alcantara and raised red stitching. The seats have the Stormtrak logo embroidered onto their back and the Stormtrak logo is proudly displayed on the dashboard in red as well.
