Verdict
At RM248,888, the Ford Ranger Raptor costs RM20,000 more than the RM228,888 Maxus eTerron 9, but its annual road tax is RM438 against RM665. The electric Maxus is the faster, harder-pulling truck: 435 hp, 700 Nm and 5.8 seconds to 100 km/h, versus the Raptor’s 210 hp, 500 Nm and 10.5 seconds. It also brings a 102.2-kWh battery rated for 430 km and 6.6-kW V2L. The Ford counters with 17-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres, Fox adaptive dampers and a locking rear differential; its 80-litre diesel tank suits buyers who cannot plan around charging.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if Fox adaptive dampers, a locking rear differential and 17-inch all-terrain tyres matter more than outright pace and EV running.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you want 435 hp, 700 Nm, a 430-km claimed EV range and a RM20,000 lower purchase price.
