Suffice to say, there’s certainly a lot of hype surrounding the new Ford Ranger Raptor, and more importantly, if it will come to Malaysia. Well, a model overview page has since popped up on Ford Malaysia’s official website, along with a page for interested parties to register their interest, and we could see the performance pick-up truck here soon.
Curiously, the vehicle shown on the page is a Ranger Raptor in prototype form, although the finished product was already revealed in Thailand a few days ago. Beyond a link to an official release and the ROI page, details about the model for the Malaysian market will only be released at a later date (as stated in the small print).
The Ranger Raptor features an EcoBlue 2.0 litre biturbo diesel engine, marking the debut of the new Panther family in the region. The mill churns out 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque, which is a tad bit more than a 3.2 litre Duratorq (200 PS/470 Nm), albeit with a lower engine displacement.
A four-wheel drive system and a Getrag 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission are paired with the engine, helping get power to the ground with the help of the Terrain Management System. To go along with the grunt, the Ranger Raptor also boasts upgraded brakes, a strengthened chassis and beefed-up suspension with Fox Racing Shox dampers.
The Raptor’s styling is both appealing and functional when tackling off-road terrain, with various plates and shields to protect the car’s components from physical damage. It also offers a ground clearance of 283 mm, approach angle of 32.5 degrees, ramp over angle of 24 degrees, and departure angle of 24 degrees.
When it does arrive here, the Ranger Raptor will most likely sit pretty at the top of the Ranger line-up in Malaysia, which is currently occupied by the Ranger 3.2 WildTrak. For now, get to know the pick-up better by watching our first look video, here. Show of hands, how many of you would be interested in the Ranger Raptor?

Compare a pickup truck with SUV? This what we called politicking without brain!
Agree with u
I think you should stop comparing this vs suv. The rear watt linkage of the ranger raptor uses the Ford everest suv linkage. So basically you are driving a suv chassis already but with pickup body.
No worries. Subaru alwiz janji ditepati

Just ask SA gip RM10k diskaun and they will gip on the spot.
Wrong article. Sori bos Gerard.
Would you buy it if sold for rm180k? I wonder
Now the question is how much will Sime Darby ask for the Raptor? Remember they were the ones who priced the Mustang with some absurd sticker price.
If in Thailand, it’s sold at M$180,000, then we should get it at a much lower price since d high price in Thailand is due to d truck there is being taxed as a saloon car because it has coil spring (not leaf spring).
The more people register their interest, the more
Sime Darby will mark up the price.
Ranger Wildtrak in thai THB 1,119,000 …..about RM 149k . So SDAC dont cut spec for lowering the price ok
RM150k is a decent price for this truck. Don’t forget, nissan based mercedes truck coming in soon. This one for the boys. The merc for the men.
So where are the men??? I haven’t even seen one on the road yet
But wildtrak is leaf suspension which is entitled to truck tax rate in Thailand. Not for the cool spring Raptor. But in Msia Raptor still get truck tax rate….. So I would except Raptor price in Msia is at advantage.
My ford salesman expects the Raptor to b priced around $180,000. He mentioned that it should be launch here before the year end & asked whether I would like to book one now at a booking fee of $1,500 (refundable). It’s is as though Ford here is expecting the Raptor to fly off the shelves even at this price!
After you register your interest, SDAC would call to ask for your location so that a salesman nearest to you will contact you. Really there isn’t much point in this as the salesman is unable to tell you when you can have your raptor. Also he can even give you an indicative price yet he wants you to make a booking
SA indicated est price to be at RM220K. Insane.
Waste la. So expensive
hey bila ada stock dkt malaysia??look like intresting
