Verdict
The Ford Everest costs RM281,888, or RM166,000 more than the RM115,888 Ford Ranger, but it is the more complete family vehicle. Its 207 hp and 500 Nm bi-turbo diesel beat the Ranger’s 168 hp and 405 Nm single-turbo unit, while the 10-speed automatic, seven seats, rear roof vents and 259-litre boot make daily Malaysian use far easier. The Ranger is 456 mm longer and has a 370 mm longer wheelbase, yet its five-seat cabin and six-speed manual suit buyers who prioritise the lower entry price and longer five-year/160,000-km warranty.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats, an automatic gearbox and 500 Nm for family trips.
Pick the Ford Ranger if RM115,888, a six-speed manual and a five-year/160,000-km warranty matter more than passenger capacity and equipment.
