Best Dual-Cab 4x4 Ute 2022

Australia’s seven best twin-cab 4x4 utes torture-tested to name just one winner 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
Aussies just can’t get enough of utes, which makes carsales’ Best Dual-Cab 4x4 Ute 2022 mega-test one of the most important comparos we’ll do all year.
It’s also one of the most thorough, because the diverse use cases require more extensive testing criteria than we typically include in our Best awards.
We selected the most popular versions of the country’s seven best-selling mid-size 4x4 dual-cabs, including the new Ford Ranger, GWM Cannon, Isuzu D-MAX, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara and Toyota HiLux.
The carsales team spent a week evaluating every aspect of these utes across seven criteria: on- and off-road performance, towing and payload, safety, comfort and convenience, technology and cost of ownership.
Each ute had its own strengths and weaknesses but only one stood above the rest in almost every category…

It's a huge job to test and rate all these vehicles even if they all look the same, just as well they are in different colours.

[@glenocole8731]

Funny, I keep pulling out these utes with my 70 :)

[@donmccoll8360]

Well done review. Pretty right on I'd say

[@roguetrader08]

The BT50 and DMax scored quite poorly in another recent 4wd comparison, with the Ranger, Triton and Hilux proving significantly better in the off-road stuff.

Great review, never thought I would see the day a Hilux was considered mid of the pack, just shows how far some of the competitors have come, good job Ranger…

[@paulmcintosh5589]

Just shows how shit it is when car sales is sponsored by toyota, go to car sales page and see how many toyota adds there is.

[@braamkotze473]

And that a GD6 Hilux is hands down the worst one ever sold. The thing is so cheap and under designed, it's not even funny. I'm a Toyota technician and working in a dealership for almost 4 years. Toyota? Totally over rated 😂

[@jhtongamer3151]

what about the ldv t 60 what do you think of theses utes the 2022 or 2023 should i get one or should i go for a ford ranger 2019 or 2018 would love to hear what you think

[@richiedayrit2624]

I do not mind at all the roaring sound they produce and the grunts of their engines...not annoying and not boring to drive also, it's either you want to drive a car and use your senses or the car will drive for you and uses its senses for you?👀 After 2 years Review, Can you guys do an actual test with this utes at night time and during a not so heavy rain?✌

[@chadsmall9447]

No economy results during the tow and load testing is a massive mistake with the price of diesel now it shows me that these guys are out of touch with the common folk who don’t get a fuel card for their work

GWM Canon X in Australia P-Series in South Africa will become GWM Shanghai in 2024 launched in South Africa 2021 .

[@trentthompson977]

I'm really interested to know how the servicing costs were calculated and why you advise the GWM costs a lot more? Looking at the Ford website I found the old Range is $299 for each of the first four general services. While the new Ranger is $329 for each of the first four general services. On the GWM website, the 1st service is $260 followed by $360. My calculations have the GWM costing $6 more per service than the new Ranger or $36 for the old Ranger. I don't want to say you didn't do your research. However, if I can find this with a quick google search, I'm sure your researchers could sorry should have done the same thing.

[@shaynenb4262]

Hi carsales, I've just seen the CURRENT AFFAIR regarding the issues of the current FORD RANGER. Issues such as suddenly braking at 80 km/h, dash board screen showing nothing and poor customer service. In your future videos, COULD YOU PLEASE INCLUDE CURRENT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE (any vehicles) and WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS DOING ABOUT IT (fixes). Your videos influences how our hardworking Australians buy their knew vehicles. You will provide GREAT SERVICE to our community by providing not just the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE reviews about the vehicle but also the actual issues with it. This way, the MANUFACTURERS can be put on notice, up their standards and giving the manufacturers the idea CUSTOMER SERVICE should be their number one priority. Now that's a concept, PASSIONATE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

[@lonelywolf1480]

Yep, I have seen it a few days ago on KZbin. I was planning to order a Ranger XLT, but after I have seen it, which confirms the reliability issues I have heard with the Ranger, I decided to go for DM-Max X-Terrain instead. I just test driven it today. Yes Ranger is a better vehicle to drive, but for me reliability is the number-1 factor. I think will place an order for the X-Terrain soon.

[@stevekillingbeck6117]

What about the musso ?

[@poppywoody7020]

How is the HiLux expensive to service? The others are double the price. Please explain

[@markcharles579]

I can’t believe that there is no mention in your review of drum rear brakes. Important for safety & towing. Anything with drum brakes should be on the bottom of the list just like Amarok has been because it has no rear airbags

[@jamesszabadics5911]

How did the Mahindra Pik-up do?

[@aluna1983]

There's no way the triton comes in last. I've test driven lots of these, owned SR5 Hilux's, and found the new Isuzu / Mazda very agricultural and loud in the cabin. Do think the new Ford is the best, but Triton is mid-table in my opinion.

[@darrensmith4661]

I Like the review covers almost all items that a potential buy is looking at, wants and needs. You retailed a lot of items when describing the LS-U+ and XLT which it would have been good to have these items as part of the overall stats and criteria. One other item to add please (which every buyer needs to know). What is the customer service and customer support from the manufacturer when something goes wrong with their new purchase? I understand this can only be done by reviews of the past 12 months performance of the companies...but is a extremely important point. e.g. Over the past 12 months Isuzu is more likely not to look after the client compared to Mazda. Toyota had issues in this respect over the past 3-4 years. Ford is similar to Toyota with this aspect as well. Basically it is time to start holding the manufacturers to account for their performance, not just in service to the client but how they truly look after the client then they might have purchased a lemon. A very critical point !

[@darrensmith4661]

OH forgot to say, I am one of those ppl looking to purchase in the next 12 months.

[@user-cs9if4bq1v]

What about the LDV T60 Max?

[@johanuribe2170]

[@ishaqthkr]

Where's Amarok 1st gen?

[@Camoqman]

I don't think it was a fair fight. Isuzu is a couple years old, triton is at least 3 years old and the ranger is the brand new model, of course it's going to be better than the rest. Let's see in a couple years what the rest of the manufacturers bring out and maybe some new contenders will join the market to like Hyundai maybe.
