Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 4×2 MT (2013) vs Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2L 4×2 MT (2017)

Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 4×2 MT (2013) vs Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2L 4×2 MT (2017): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing the 2013 and 2017 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 models, the newer 2017 unit offers the better overall value despite a marginally lower price tag (₱1,328,000 vs ₱1,360,000). It delivers 160 PS and 385 Nm, a modest bump over the 2013’s 150 PS and 375 Nm, and the torque peak starts a little later, giving a smoother pull in everyday driving. The 2017 version also adds a few millimetres of width (2163 mm vs unspecified for 2013), which can improve cabin comfort and stability, while both retain the same 6‑speed gearbox, though the 2013 comes with an automatic and the 2017 with a manual, letting buyers choose their preferred driving style. Both share the same RWD layout, body‑on‑frame construction, seating capacity and overall length, so practicality and load‑carrying remain comparable. The 2017 model is still in current production, meaning parts and service support are more readily available, whereas the 2013 is discontinued. If you prioritize a newer vehicle with slightly higher power, a manual transmission, and better after‑sales support, the 2017 Ranger is the clear pick. However, if you need an automatic gearbox and can accept an older, discontinued model, the 2013 may still suit you, albeit at a higher price.
