Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, had on 3rd March 2021 revealed the New 2021 Ford Ranger Raptor X Special Edition, which is special to Malaysia and comes in True Red colour. This is also the first time that the colour Red will be offered on a Raptor for customers here. It will come with more equipment and additional safety features as standard, notably it has a in-built 360-degree camera, Dual Digital Video Recorder, and distinctive accessories comprising a bold Raptor X decal and Special Edition carpet mats. The new variant is priced at RM216,888 (on-the-road, without insurance) with a 5-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty or 160,000km, whichever comes first.
Turse Zuhair, Head of Sales, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion said, “With its Ford Performance DNA, Ranger Raptor is undoubtedly the ultimate and only performance pickup truck in Malaysia that has been perfected for everyday urban use in addition to commanding the harshest off-road terrains at thrilling speeds. With this Special Edition, we hope to inject excitement into our lineup of well-loved Ranger vehicles.
So there is now another colour option for those interested in the very performance oriented Ford Ranger Raptor. This is still the King of performance pickup trucks here in Malaysia and it is the only one that features a lot of premium performance bits like the FOX Racing Suspesion setup. That, and the fact that it makes over 200hp and a heady 500Nm of torque makes the Raptor a real beast.
For RM216K it is one of the few vehicles sold in Malaysia that could put a smile to your face which is still under RM300K. I mean, even a Honda Type-R costs over 300K these days. It is a different thing but we are definitely short of unique performance drives being affordable these days.

Performance DNA through its veins
The Ranger Raptor which was introduced in Malaysia at the end of 2018 is Asia Pacific’s first
and only factory-built high-speed off-road performance truck and is designed to thrill even the
most hard-core extreme adventure enthusiast, straight off the line.
With the learnings from Ford’s F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor’s unique chassis frame had
been newly-developed and extensively modified for high speeds and endurance off-road. Its
race-bred suspension has also been specifically crafted to tackle the toughest terrains,
smoothing out jumps, bumps and ruts. No other production truck in Malaysia features the
legendary FOX Racing Shox and a huge ultra-strength bash plate as standard equipment.
Its cutting-edge Terrain Management System offers six pre-set driving modes to conquer
virtually any terrain, at the turn of a dial. Inspired by the Baja 1000 Desert Race, the famed
Baja Mode dials down traction, improves responsiveness and shifting speed, and optimises
the Ranger Raptor for high-speed off-roading.
As for its performance, the Raptor delivers 213 PS of power and 500Nm of torque and has
been carefully calibrated with Ford’s latest 10-speed automatic transmission with PaddleShift
technology.

technologies offering customers complete confidence as they go about their adventures.
