PPD Wildtrak 2022 New Gen Ranger Suspension Upgrade
The Wildtrak suspension is OK from factory but tends to be jittery, overly stiff and really wants a decent weight in the rear to settle it down. This generally due to the rear end being specified to take a reasonable load as the priority rather than offroading. Upgrading suspension is one of the most common modifications to any 4wd for those intending to head out and enjoy the unsealed world.

With all that in mind, a suspension upgrade is deserving of its own blog post. 21/10 - With the ranger deliveries only just starting in Australia, it is not uncommon for there to be limited choices on the market for some upgrades.
