Verdict
The Ford Ranger T6 costs RM67,965, while the Ford Ranger T6.2 is RM115,888; that RM47,923 gap buys 50 hp and 120 Nm more from a smaller 2.0-litre diesel, six gears instead of five, and all-wheel drive rather than rear-wheel drive. The newer truck is also much better equipped for safety, with six airbags and stability control against two airbags. Its 160,000 km/five-year warranty versus 100,000 km/three years matters on a used-workhorse purchase. But it is 389 kg heavier and physically larger, so the T6 remains the simpler, cheaper pick-up.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6 if your priority is the lowest entry cost and a lighter, simpler rear-wheel-drive diesel pick-up.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6.2 if you want substantially stronger performance, all-wheel drive and far more complete safety equipment.
