Verdict

At RM199,888, the outgoing Ford Ranger Raptor T6 Facelift 2 saves RM49,000 against the RM248,888 Ford Ranger Raptor P703, while both retain the 210 hp/500 Nm 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel and identical 10.5-second 0-100 km/h time. The P703 earns its extra outlay with adaptive Fox dampers, a Watt’s-link rear axle, seven airbags, pedestrian-detecting autonomous braking and a five-year/160,000-km warranty. Its road tax remains RM438 a year, just like the older truck. For a Malaysian buyer, the T6 makes sense on budget; the P703 is the safer, better-equipped new-generation choice.

T6 Facelift 2

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor T6 Facelift 2 if a RM49,000 saving, 105 kg lower weight and an alloy full-size spare matter more than driver-assistance systems.

P703

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor P703 if you want autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera and five years of warranty cover.
