Verdict

For a Malaysian buyer, this is not about engine output: both use a 1,996 cc diesel with 210 hp, 500 Nm, automatic transmission, AWD and RM438 annual road tax. The RM49,000 gap buys the Ford Ranger Raptor P703 a seventh airbag, auto emergency braking, a five-year warranty and a longer 3,270 mm wheelbase. The Ford Ranger Raptor T6 Facelift 2 counters with known 10.5-second 0-100 km/h, 170 km/h top speed and 8.2 L/100km figures. Newer looks safer on paper; outgoing looks sharper on spend.

T6 Facelift 2

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor T6 Facelift 2 if you want the same 210 hp and 500 Nm for much less money, and are happy with six airbags and a three-year warranty.

P703

Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor P703 if you want the newer generation with seven airbags, auto emergency braking and a five-year warranty.
