Ford F-150 Raptor now launched in Malaysia – CKD right-hand drive, three-year warranty, 450 hp, RM781k

Hamawangsa Kredit officially launched the Ford F-150 Raptor in Malaysia today, which is available from RM780,888 on-the-road without insurance. The car is registered here as the Sutton CS 3500, but make no mistake, this is a prime and proper F-150 Raptor.

As we’re told, the F-150 Raptor is a locally-assembled (CKD) model from Gurun, Kedah, and each unit undergoes a right-hand drive conversion developed by Clive Sutton’s Bespoke division. Hamawangsa is the franchise holder and primary dealer for Clive Sutton vehicles here in the ASEAN region, and will export the CS 3500 to Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines, with left-hand drive units made for selected markets.

For now, only the SuperCrew cab version of the Raptor is being offered here, which is powered by a 3.5 litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The mill makes 450 hp and 691 Nm of torque, paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed four-wheel drive system. While that may be enough for most, Hamawangsa also offers an optional Monster Intercooler package to bring the engine up to 520 hp and 827 Nm.

Other mechanical bits include an electronic-locking rear differential, a Torsen front differential and a set of three-inch Fox Racing Shox dampers. The truck also comes with long-travel suspension (13 inches front and 14 inches rear) and 17-inch aluminium wheels shod with 315/70 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 tyres.

In terms of standard equipment, the Raptor comes with a 4.2-inch instrument cluster display, 360-degree camera, leather upholstery, electric powered seats, dual-zone manual air-conditioning, sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, SecuriCode keypad, and Terrain Management System.

The truck also gets a few off-roading and practical items such as a full LED light bar on the roof, LED lights on the front grille, an electronic tonneau cover, trailer tow package and all-weather floor mats.

Each F-150 Raptor (CS 3500) is built to order with a lead time of about six months, and customers will be able to specify a number of options including the above-mentioned power upgrade, as well as wheels and different bed covers. Your vehicle will also come with a three-year/60,000 km warranty provided by Nazamax.

Later on in the fourth quarter of this year, Hamawangsa will introduce a diesel-powered version of the F-150 called the CS 3000. That model will sport a Power Stroke 3.0 litre turbodiesel V6 likely making 250 hp and 596 Nm.

      Before May 9th got lots of orders for cars above RM500k. But after May 9th, luxury car companies feeling the pinch. Hardly any orders.

      I wonder why?

      When people work hard for their money, they are very careful at what they buy

  • The rear seats look like jump seats. Is it can be folded up for more storage?
    Still has many essential controls at left side like the 4WD mode selector.

      Money is not an issue for someone who spent on this. High chance he’s owning few off road models which includes RR, G-Wagon or some other rare units.

  • Wrong market for this kind of vehicle, I wonder if they able to sell even one unit. Who will pay 781K for 60k KM warranty? If they were very sure about their capabilities they would have kept with the new trend of five years unlimited mileage. Ford in Malaysia has very bad after sales service and even customer are misled by the company staff so the warranty can become void
