Verdict
The Ford Ranger Raptor brings 210 hp and 500 Nm from its 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel, plus Fox adaptive dampers, a locking rear differential and 285/70R17 BFGoodrich KO2 tyres. The Toyota Hilux answers with a 193-hp, 473-Nm dual-motor electric drivetrain, 59.2-kWh battery, 257-km range and DC charging up to 125 kW. Its RM160 annual road tax undercuts the Ford’s RM438. For Malaysian buyers with dependable charging, the Hilux is the lower-road-tax choice; the Raptor is the more off-road-focused package.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want the stronger 210-hp, 500-Nm drivetrain, Fox adaptive dampers and locking rear differential for serious off-road use.
Pick the Toyota Hilux if you can charge regularly and want a 257-km electric range, 125-kW DC charging and RM160 annual road tax.
