Verdict
The Ford Ranger Raptor costs RM248,888 against the Toyota Hilux at RM226,300, a RM22,588 gap. Its 210 hp, 500 Nm twin-turbo diesel and 10-speed automatic give it a slight output edge over the Hilux’s twin-motor 193 hp and 473 Nm electric setup. The Ranger is also 61 mm longer, 173 mm wider and rides on 285/70R17 BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres. But the Hilux cuts annual road tax from RM438 to RM160, brings a 59.2 kWh battery with 257 km EV range, and includes an eight-year unlimited-mileage battery warranty. Charging access is the deciding factor.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want 210 hp, 500 Nm, 285/70R17 all-terrain tyres and Fox adaptive dampers for rougher work and off-road use.
Pick the Toyota Hilux if you can charge regularly and want the lower RM226,300 entry price, RM160 annual road tax and a 257 km electric range.
