cascadeur 4 roues

cascadeur would be the normal translation of 'stunt artist' (which is what a wrangler is). '4 roues' makes the distinction (if necessary) vis à vis stunt artists flying aeroplanes, martial arts specialists, people who jump off high buildings, etc.

I'm assuming the stunts didn't involve motorbikes or bulldozers ...

agree Tony M : Yes, except the 'wrangler' isn't necssarily a stunt artist as such, often just a 'marshall'

pilote

Wrangler veut dire cow-boy généralement. Je pense que le mot est utilisé ici peut-être parce qu'il y avait des cascades en voiture ou parce qu'il fallait beaucoup d'adresse pour conduire le véhicule. C'est pour cette raison qu'il me semble que pilote conviendrait.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Pas vraiment ; c'est simplement qqu'un qui s'occupe de véhicules...

Vehicule : Wrangler

Il existe un jeep "Wrangler". Il pourrait s'agir tout simplement de la marque de la voiture utilisée (surtout s'il y a pas de nom en face)...
