cascadeur 4 roues
Explanation:
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 ...

vehicle wrangler
pilote


Explanation:
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.
