Is the Ford Ranger Raptor a little too tame for your liking? What about the Ford F-150 Raptor then? Yes, the large performance truck has arrived in Malaysia and you can buy one in right-hand drive from Hamawangsa Kredit.

According to the company, the F-150 Raptor is a locally-assembled (CKD) model from Gurun and will be the only variant of the F-150 the company sells – the standard F-150 is no longer offered. It adds that the car is officially registered here as a Sutton CS 3500, but beyond the name change and RHD conversion that is undertaken by Clive Sutton’s Bespoke division, it is a bone fide F-150 Raptor.

Available with a SuperCrew cab only, the F-150 Raptor is powered by a 3.5 litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine that develops 450 hp and 691 Nm of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission and two-speed four-wheel drive system are paired with the high output motor. Should you need more power, Hamawangsa provides a Monster Intercooler package that bumps the engine’s output up to 520 hp and 827 Nm.

Other driving-related bits include an electronic-locking rear differential, a Torsen front differential and a set of three-inch Fox Racing Shox dampers. The truck also comes with long-travel suspension (13 inches front and 14 inches rear) and 17-inch aluminium wheels shod with 315/70 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 tyres to make easy work of uneven, off-road terrain.

In terms of standard equipment, the Raptor comes with a 4.2-inch instrument cluster display, leather seats, single-zone manual air-conditioning, sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, vehicle information gauges, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, SecuriCode keypad, and Terrain Management System.

However, the car you see in the photos has been outfitted with various options that are available such 10-way electric powered seats with heating, cooling and memory functions; an eight-inch infotainment system; 360-degree camera; and dual-zone automatic air-conditioning.

Similarly, the exterior gets the optional Sutton Rex Revolver grille with LED lighting, a LED light bar, LED mirror-mounted spotlights, bed liners, Sutton carbon tailgate trim, and wheel arch scoops.

Price-wise, the fully-kitted F-150 Raptor seen in the photos retails at RM788k, and the company is expecting to sell between 20-30 units a year. Interested?
