Verdict

At RM199,888, the T6 Facelift 2 costs RM49,000 less yet keeps the same 210 hp/500 Nm 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel, 10-speed automatic and 10.5-second 0-100 km/h time as the P703. That makes it the rational lower-cost choice. The RM248,888 P703 is the better-equipped truck for Malaysian daily driving: it brings adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera, plus a five-year/160,000-km warranty. Its 180 km/h top speed is 10 km/h higher, but safety and convenience are the real reasons to pay.

T6 Facelift 2

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor T6 Facelift 2 if you want identical 210 hp, 500 Nm and 10.5-second acceleration while saving RM49,000.

P703

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor P703 if you want the newer safety kit, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control and longer five-year/160,000-km warranty.
