Verdict
At RM248,888, the Ford Ranger Raptor 2.0 Diesel is the rational buy: annual road tax is RM438, or RM1,132 less than the V6’s RM1,570, while both retain the Fox adaptive dampers, locking rear differential and Baja mode. The RM14,000 step to the RM262,888 Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 EcoBoost buys 182 hp more, 83 Nm more torque, a 5.9-second 0-100 km/h time and powered adjustment for both front seats. Buy the V6 for its huge pace advantage; buy the diesel before remaining stock runs out if running costs matter more.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor 2.0 Diesel if you want the lower RM248,888 entry price and RM438 annual road tax without giving up the Raptor’s core off-road hardware.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 EcoBoost if you will use its 392 hp, 583 Nm and 5.9-second 0-100 km/h performance enough to justify RM14,000 more upfront.
