The Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel has now been launched in Malaysia, priced at RM192,888 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM198,688 in Sabah and Sarawak, and both prices are on-the-road without insurance.
This joins the current Ford Ranger line-up that is comprised of the XLT, XLT Plus and Wildtrak with the 2.0 litre single-turbo and biturbo diesel powertrains, as well as the off-road performance-focused Ranger Raptor 2.0 turbodiesel and 3.0 V6 turbocharged petrol engine.
