Verdict
This is a straight used-versus-newer Ranger call. The Ford Ranger T6 Facelift is much cheaper and still has a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result, but its 2.2 litre diesel manual makes 123 hp and 320 Nm. The Ford Ranger T6.2 moves to a 2.0 litre diesel with 168 hp and 405 Nm, adds six airbags instead of two, and stretches the wheelbase by 50 mm. Its RM36,978 premium also brings a five-year warranty and lower RM438 road tax.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6 Facelift if you want the lower buy-in, a manual AWD diesel pick-up and can live with less power, fewer airbags and a shorter warranty.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6.2 if you want the stronger 168 hp/405 Nm diesel, six airbags, five-year warranty and lower annual road tax.
