Ford Ranger: T6 Facelift 2 vs T6.2
Verdict
The newer Ford Ranger T6.2 is the more usable private-buyer truck here: five seats, six airbags, 168 hp and 405 Nm, against the Ford Ranger T6 Facelift 2’s two seats, two airbags, 158 hp and 385 Nm. It is also larger, with a 3,270 mm wheelbase versus 3,220 mm. The catch is cost: RM115,888 against RM90,888. That RM25,000 gap buys cabin capacity, a stronger 2.0-litre diesel, more airbags and a five-year warranty.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6 Facelift 2 if you want the cheaper outgoing manual AWD Ranger and can live with only two seats.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6.2 if you need a five-seat Ranger with more power, more torque, more airbags and longer warranty cover.
