Verdict
At a RM25,000 lower entry price, the Ford Ranger T6 Facelift 2 saves money and carries 296 kg less, so it suits a basic two-seat work role. The Ford Ranger T6.2 is the more useful Malaysian daily pick-up: five seats and four doors, 168 hp and 405 Nm rather than 158 hp and 385 Nm, plus six airbags instead of two. Its RM438 annual road tax undercuts the older truck’s RM598, and its five-year, 160,000-km warranty is substantially longer. Pay more if passengers and safety matter; buy the older Ranger only when its lower entry cost and rear sensors fit the job.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6 Facelift 2 if a RM90,888 entry price, lower 1,931-kg kerb weight and a two-seat work-truck layout are your priorities.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6.2 if you need five seats, six airbags, stronger 168-hp/405-Nm performance and the longer five-year warranty.
