Verdict
At RM248,888, the Ford Ranger Raptor costs RM25,000 more than the RM223,888 Maxus eTerron 9. The Ford brings a 210 hp, 500 Nm 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel, 10-speed automatic, Fox adaptive dampers and a locking rear differential for buyers who will use the truck beyond tarmac. But the Maxus is the quicker road machine: its two motors produce 436 hp and 700 Nm, cutting 0-100 km/h to 5.8 seconds against 10.5 seconds. Its 102 kWh battery also claims 430 km range, though annual road tax is RM665 versus RM438.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want Fox adaptive dampers, a locking rear differential and a diesel 80-litre tank for off-road-oriented use.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you want 436 hp, 700 Nm, a 430 km claimed EV range and 5.8-second 0-100 km/h pace.
