Ford Everest vs Ford Ranger
Verdict
At RM266,388 against RM115,888, the Everest is a very different spend despite sharing a 1,996 cc diesel and 405 Nm with the Ranger. The RM150,500 gap buys an SUV body with seven seats, a six-speed automatic and coil-spring rear suspension, plus rear air vents and more driver aids. The Ranger answers as the working choice. It has all-wheel drive and a longer 5-year/160,000 km warranty. Power is a wash at 167 hp versus 168 hp, so choose by body style and daily use, not output.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need a seven-seat SUV with an automatic gearbox, rear air vents and more listed driver assistance kit.
Pick the Ford Ranger if you want the cheaper diesel pickup with all-wheel drive, a manual gearbox and the longer factory warranty.
