At the launch of the all-new 2022 Ford Ranger last month, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) brought out the new Ranger Raptor on to the stage alongside the XLT Plus and Wildtrak variants, but the showing was only a brief teaser, with the company saying that it the second-gen high-performance variant would only be launched here sometime in Q4.
Now that we know that it’s coming, all that remains is to establish which powertrain it will arrive here with. In its first-gen guise, the Raptor was powered by a 2.0 litre EcoBlue twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine with 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque, but the second-gen, which was announced in February, now features a 3.0 litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 petrol engine, paired to the existing 10R80 10-speed transmission.
The unit, taken from the Bronco Raptor, puts out 397 PS at 5,650 rpm and 583 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm, and will be the truck’s primary powertrain in most markets. However, the Blue Oval has said that it will continue to offer the turbodiesel in markets where the V6 isn’t appropriate, leading to the question as to which unit we will get.
In Australia, the new Raptor is only being offered with the new petrol engine, and is AUD6,100 (RM19,100) more expensive than the outgoing Raptor X, which has the 2.0 litre turbodiesel.
Thailand also gets the petrol V6 for its new Raptor, but that has of course come at a cost, in this case a 140,000 baht (RM17,300) increase, to 1,869,000 baht (RM231,100). That the petrol mill is the engine choice for the Kingdom means that it’s likely that we will follow suit, but buyers will have to be prepared to pay quite a bit more for it.
In its last Raptor X variant configuration released here last year, the truck went for RM216,889, so we could well be looking at a RM240k ask for the new Raptor, at the very least. When it does arrive in the fourth quarter, the Raptor will join the XL, XLT, XLT Plus and Wildtrak variants and make it seven for the local Ranger model range.

Pls pls pls the V6 for the love the petrol Gods. Customers buying the Raptor will have no issue paying for maintenance and fuel.
Nah… Malaysians mostly low-ballers
Is why over 85% are now on RON95
Targeted subsidy = game-charger
Might as well pray for 5.0L V8 harvested from Mustang. Whichever it is, Ford will make the right decision for the right markets as they had done for the last 100 years. Trust Ford to BUILT TOUGH
Built Tough –
it is reminding me of the Continental Car based Proton Savvy.
You mean this evergreen model?

ford and reliable dont belong in the same sentence. toyota is more reliable
Ultimate test of reliability:
US Army rides F-150 into wars.
Do you see Nippon Army ride Hilux into war?
Now we know why U S army got beaten badly by the Talibans.Toyota Hilux wins
He did not say anything about reliability. He said they are built TOUGH. Not same thing.
240k better buy bmw
240k only a BMW low spec.
Some models even not comfortable 2nd row.
Yes this Ford pick up truck is as pricey as a new c class Merc it’s for Thais to go to the market farms construction site ot going to dinner party that will an the latest s class
So you can buy a new MB C class for under 2 mill THB? Where?
Go to any Ford mechanic VS Toyota mechanic and you will know why only idiots but Ford. American cars are extremely badly build. Just see how the fit certain parts you will know their engineers IQ is quite low. They will put the simplest thing in the most difficult position possible
I have had my ranger for 6years now. No issue. Works perfectly well. Price for parts is higher than toyota but the quality, handling, stability and performance is way better than toyota.
u mostly drive ur ranger on what? angkat sawit tiap hari pakai offroad ka? if not, my old saga is just as reliable on average road… stop all these nuisance saying Ford is equal to Toyota… the sales show the opposite.. my experience shows the opposite.. everything shows the opposite…
We will get the 3 litre. I asked their sales person when i took delivery of my ranger.
