Ford Everest vs Ford Ranger Raptor
Verdict
The Everest asks RM266,388, so it is RM17,500 dearer than the RM248,888 Ranger Raptor despite using a weaker 1,996 cc diesel: 167 hp and 405 Nm versus 210 hp and 500 Nm. The Raptor also gets 10 gears, all-wheel drive, Fox adaptive dampers and Baja/Sport modes. But the Everest is the family-shaped choice, with seven seats, a powered contactless tailgate and a 259-litre boot. Same RM438 road tax, very different jobs.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats, SUV access and a proper enclosed boot more than outright diesel punch.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want the stronger 210 hp/500 Nm drivetrain, AWD and serious off-road hardware for less money.
