Verdict
The Ford Everest costs RM281,888, or RM166,000 more than the RM115,888 Ford Ranger, and that money buys a seven-seat SUV with a 207 hp/500 Nm bi-turbo diesel and 10-speed automatic. The Ranger is a five-seat, 168 hp/405 Nm single-turbo pickup with a six-speed manual, but it is 456 mm longer and carries a five-year, 160,000-km warranty. For Malaysian family use, the Everest’s rear roof vents, collision warning and seven airbags justify its more polished brief; the Ranger is the much cheaper work-oriented choice.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats, a 10-speed automatic and the stronger 207 hp, 500 Nm diesel.
Pick the Ford Ranger if a RM166,000 saving, pickup body and five-year/160,000-km warranty matter more than passenger capacity and driver assistance.
