Here's a sneak peak of the 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor for Malaysia - V6 petrol or 4-cylinder diesel?

Here's a sneak peak of the 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor for Malaysia - V6 petrol or 4-cylinder diesel? 01

Earlier today, Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC) launched 6 variants of the latest T.62 generation 2022 Ford Ranger. Prices range from RM 108,888 for the base XL 6MT and RM 168,888 for the range topping (for now) Ranger WildTrak.

Two powertrain options are available, both 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesels. The Single Turbo variant makes 180 PS / 405 Nm, and is paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. The Bi-Turbo variant makes 210 PS / 500 Nm, paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

The Bi-Turbo engine and 10-speed automatic combo is available on both the XLT Plus and WildTrak variants.

The obvious missing link is of course the Ranger Raptor, the benchmark truck that Ranger fans have been waiting.

At today’s launch of the Ranger, SDAC did drive out the Ranger Raptor, but only for about 10 seconds, so forgive us if don’t have more photos to show.

The Raptor was driven out briefly, accompanied by announcement that it will be launched in Malaysia sometime within Q4 this year, before reversing back into its hiding spot.

The Ranger Raptor has yet to go on sale anywhere in the world, so details are still unclear.

Australia has confirmed that their Ranger Raptor will be powered by 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo petrol engine that makes 397 PS and 583 Nm (versus previous model’s 213 PS / 500 Nm), also paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The decision to replace the 4-cylinder diesel engine with a V6 petrol is a bit odd, at least when viewed in this part of the world, which is why some sources have said that in markets where there is an obvious preference for diesels (tax-related reasons, Thailand for example), Ranger Raptors sold there will retain the bi-turbo diesel.

We still don't know if Malaysia will be getting the V6 petrol or retain the 4-cylinder diesel. Sorry, the launch event's background music was just too loud to pick up any diesel clatter (or maybe that's because it's a smooth and quiet V6 petrol?).

Regardless, expect prices to be a lot higher. The previous generation Ranger Raptor sold for RM 210,888 but seeing that the latest generation 2022 Ranger WildTrak is already RM 16,500 more expensive than before (now starting from RM 168,888), expect to the 2022 Ranger Raptor be easily 15 percent more expensive. A circa RM 240,000 starting price is not too far-fetched.
