When I bought my Wildtrak I was told that it was originally a customers "Special Order" that the finance had fallen through and so the Wildtrak had been returned to the sale yard.
I bought it cash and had it sent unregistered to 4X4 Offroad at Bathurst to have the canopy and other accessories fitted and the GVM upgraded with BP-51 suspension etc.
Okay how may other Wildtrak's have BOTH seats electrically operated and with electric demister heaters in the side mirrors ?? I thought this was standard but it seem these were part of the "special order" I'm now intrigued as to what else may have been fitted to it in Thailand before it was sent to Australia but the dealership no longer has a record of what else was on the original "special order" .

I wouldn't be intrigued, I would be a little concerned.
Something stops working and take it to Ford........ sorry that's not something we have on our model so...........
I had a car with electric seats, I adjusted them to suit and never used it again.

I don't believe they were standard in an Aus delivered vehicle. Yours is SA built for UK and was different.
Heated mirrors was more a standard item here for Everests with BLISS.

Fair enough guess not needed so much in your climate, heated mirrors come standard on most vehicles in the uk.

I guess it was a win for me as I only paid the market price for a standard 2017 Wildtrak so I got the heated mirrors and electric passenger seat for gratis - the other guys loss was my gain as I believe (but cannot be certain) that he lost his deposit once his proposed fully novated finance was declined.
The heated mirrors come on automatically when the demist controls are activated and while the passenger seat is fully adjustable it doesn't have the squab adjustment that the drivers seat has so I'm guessing its a standard Wildtrak passenger seat but with added electric controls.
