Verdict
At RM281,888, the Ford Everest costs RM33,000 more than the RM248,888 Ford Ranger Raptor, yet its clearest advantage is practical: seven seats and a stated 259-litre boot against the Raptor’s five seats. The pick-up is 467 mm longer and 105 mm wider, but brings 210 hp, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, autonomous braking with pedestrian detection and a five-year/160,000-km warranty. Both use a 1,996 cc twin-turbo diesel with 500 Nm and an 80-litre tank. For a Malaysian family carrying more than five people, the Everest’s third row matters; for its lower price and extra driver assistance, the Raptor makes the stronger case.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats and a 259-litre enclosed boot for family use.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if five seats are enough and you want the lower purchase price, adaptive cruise control and dedicated off-road hardware.
