Verdict
This is not a subtle generation gap. The Ford Ranger T6.2 asks RM47,923 more, but it moves from 118 hp/285 Nm to 168 hp/405 Nm, swaps rear-wheel drive for all-wheel drive and lifts safety from two airbags to six. It is also much larger: 96 mm longer, 68 mm wider and 168 mm taller. The Ford Ranger T6 fights back on purchase price and tidier size; both have five seats, diesel power, manual gearboxes and 80-litre tanks.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6 if you want the cheaper outgoing Ranger, can live with 118 hp/285 Nm and rear-wheel drive, and prefer its smaller 5,274 mm by 1,850 mm footprint.
Pick the Ford Ranger T6.2 if you want the stronger, safer new-generation truck with 168 hp/405 Nm, all-wheel drive, six airbags and a five-year warranty.
