Ford Ranger Lineup Expands in Malaysia with Four New Variants in July 2026, Powertrain Transition Underway
The current-generation "Next-Gen" Ford Ranger has been on sale in Malaysia since 2022, with its lineup quietly growing into one of the widest in the pick-up segment. It expanded again in July 2026 with four new variants—the Platinum 3.0, Sport 3.0, Sport 2.0, and a re-launched XL—taking the range to over a dozen versions including the Raptor. The lineup is currently in transition: the older 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel has been discontinued globally, so variants still using it (and the pre-update single-turbo) remain on sale only until existing stock clears, the Raptor 2.0 included. All double-cab Rangers share the same body and hardware basics across four powertrains, with prices on-the-road without insurance for Peninsular Malaysia, spanning workhorse entry, sport and lifestyle, and premium top-diesel segments.
