Verdict
At RM248,888, the Ford Ranger Raptor costs RM22,588 more than the RM226,300 Toyota Hilux, but brings 210 hp and 500 Nm against the Toyota’s two-motor 193 hp and 473 Nm. It is also 61 mm longer in wheelbase and 25 kg lighter, with Fox adaptive dampers, a locking rear differential and Terrain Management modes. The Toyota answers with EV hardware: a 59.2-kWh battery, 257-km range and up to 125-kW DC charging. For Malaysian buyers with reliable charging, it is the lower-priced EV choice; the Raptor suits those wanting extra output and off-road hardware.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want 210 hp, 500 Nm, Fox adaptive dampers and a locking rear differential for tougher off-road use.
Pick the Toyota Hilux if you have dependable charging and want a 59.2-kWh EV with 257 km of range for RM22,588 less.
