Ranger vs HiLux vs Colorado vs Navara vs D-Max vs Triton 2019 review

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

The new MR Triton is a weapon and is well deserved 2nd place, it offers the most technology and safety out off all the utes and is the cheapest to purchase. Match this with a very reliable platform, 7 years factory warranty, 3 yrs capped price service and 4 yrs aus wide road side assist and you can see why! Plus its the only ute that allows it to run 4wd on sealed roads, amazing when towing or going through wet slippery hills.

[@tasmanmcmillan1777]

I wouldn’t call it a weapon off road. It’s definitely best for price. But as soon as you add weight and bush conditions, it wouldn’t handle it. I wouldn’t get any of these. Id go for either a vdj79 or an f150 for reliability & pure toughness.

[@anthonyramdin1037]

I agree with you. It's honestly the best ute when you add in reliability to all the other stuff. Really really good off-road. I honestly think it is better than the rest with a load on. Cheers.

[@dratempest610]

Fully agree with your statement there mate 👍

[@simmo6035]

What's your pick mate?

[@Fernweh4x4andadventure]

Honestly, for the last five years none! The bt-50 and raptor ranger are about the best I reckon, and obviously both for very different reasons, but none actually tick all the boxes for me, here’s my thoughts compiled Below. Let’s start with the no’s straight up! Anything European! so that rules out merc, and VW, yeah good engines 3 litre, powerful comfortable, woopdy do!. Do I trust either brand, nope! I don’t trust them and wouldn’t want it if you bought it for me (I’d sell and buy accessories instead). Customer service?? that’s another f up! Price? umm I didn’t r realise it was a privilege for the company that I buy their brand of car, so no in that principle alone. You want my money? give me better service and a better price! Top-ota? Cruiser, yeah ok why not, well they’re never on sale, rear axel needs replaced, alternator very low has river crossing problems, so let’s spend 70/90 k and fix what’s should be stock! So no. Deemed reliable, 400,000 kms still selling for $30k. That’s a lot of driving with a good price tag at the end of it. Hilux, expensive, boring small side of the engines, old tech, reliable.... DPF..... maybe. Potential top five. Holden. Nope! Not even a calais, commodore any HSV, (z71 is meant to be a v8). Holden Failed, past their date etc etc. Navara, well it’s in my top three, numero uno if it had better suspension a 3 litre Nissan engine (think v9x) and was a little bit longer and wider, it would be my pick, hence the raptor mentioned above, also doesn’t have the best wading depth 600mm in comparison to 800 bt and ranger, and soon 900 for Land Rover, (albeit a European wagon) but still impressive like the price! Mitso? well I almost bought one based on price, was curious to know how ARB was going to do their bull bar too (thought I’d hold off), it looks good as it is stock but not really an off-roader with that face. CUSTOMER SERVICE? probably the best, at the moment and that is worth at the very least 90% of purchase IMO. Small engine, 6sp auto and manual not bad but small, expensive to service, 500mm wading depth ahh what!! Not sure I want to take it through a puddle let alone somewhere remote. LDV? could be the best thing since sliced bread if it’s reliable and stays that way, customer service, not as good as Mazda or Mitso. Don’t fully trust it in remote places, let’s give it about 10 years ay. Maybe you could just buy a cheap reliable engine/ parts off the shelf in a remote place one day, wouldn’t that be sweet! Isuzu, another brand that could mop the floor clean if their price was about 7-10k cheaper, more comfortable, and less boring so let’s keep moving ay. Mahindra, Great Wall Ssanyong, obocould be better! Don’t always want to buy Chinese/Indian crap, we have enough of it. So from memory this leaves ford and Mazda. Ford! nice looking vehicles for sure, has some tech, cool but not necessary, new 2litre bi turbo is impressive but needs a tune for overtaking, not sure if I’d want to tow a caravan. range topping Wildtrack, (yes I know raptor i’ve placed that in another category) personally I don’t think the wildtrack is worth it, looks the best but you pay out the nose for it! Customer service, not as good as the the others, about 5th on my list, so could be better for price outlayed. Same angles with bt-50, ramp over etc etc. it’s a no for customer service and price for me. Mazda? customer service is great, same 3.2, reliable, cheaper, boring but a safe bet thus far, plenty of mods on the market after not buying a ranger. Its big maybe a little to big and that affects rampover angle, departure angle and approach, view from driver side isn’t the greatest steering is vague, reverse camera in review mirror (pet peeve). Not a lot of tech, simple, cheap reliable almost like a land cruiser, it ticks the most boxes and It’s my pick based on those things mentioned. Ranger raptor, well, I’d say it’s the best, but would be nice with a 3.2L ten speed, and about 10-20k cheaper!

[@junisdairo4398]

True

[@davidanderson8381]

I tested a Navara, Triton, Hilux and BT50 when I bought a new ute last year and ended up with the BT50 XT for the ride quality, diff lock, Apple car play and reverse camera and it's where my 6'4 frame fit the best. Also, the 40K and a smidge drive-away price was including the first 3 services, for me, great value. Now a year later, and firmly in the for-what-it's-worth category, I can state my only complaints are the slightly higher than expected fuel consumption and VERY slow to kick-down auto gear box that's way more meh meh than zoom zoom. On the plus side, with a set only a set of AT's as modifications, it's going great through the high country and remains very quiet on the road and handles better on rough country roads than I expected being a ute. Thanks for the video.

[@dratempest610]

David Anderson , that’s why I bought a manual transmission far more enjoyable to drive , and what’s better is the fuel economy one gets from the manual ! The Bt50 is a great ute in its own right , a true all rounder, I came to the same conclusion when looking for a new ute as well .

[@marcoleyson720]

Ford ranger raptor is the best I own one

[@juanniwane9435]

Before buying my Hilux i actually did a test-drive on every ute listed here (plus the BT50) to help me decide what to buy, and i agree with alost everything that's been said. However, i still bought the Hilux because it feels the most appropriate with my profession as a Construction Contractor other than that fact, i would have bought the BT50 or the Ranger no questions asked. #NoRegrets P.S. Here in the Philippines FORD dealer service sucks.

[@yengsabio5315]

I agree -- one has to choose such a truck based in its optimized utility & functionality. In my case, I will also definitely chose Hilux based on what I've stated above. As someone who works in the farm & uses a vehicle multi-purposely, I find the Hilux to be the most optimized esp. for my need & driving skills, too. It may not have the highest HP or what but, hey, it does deliver! Amazingly so, applying some hypermiling techniques, I was able to push fuel economy ranging from 14 to 16 km/L diesel. And I find driving with 20 cavs (about a ton) of animal feeds at the back even on a dirt road to be not hard for the vehicle to do. So yes, in choosing which ute to buy, one must always consider its optimized utility & functionality. It will definitely deliver cost efficiency esp. if used in business.

Stoked to see the triton do so well and I probably agree with the outcome overall. However, testing to see the best off road but then saying you avoided using the diff lock on cars that had one to level the playing field is a bit like saying, we raced these 3 cars to see which would be the fastest but made the Ferrari and lambo stay in 1st gear to give the corolla a chance. You've got it, you paid for it, use it!

Abu7929, no diff locks used in order to test how well they'd all do using just engine, traction control etc. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Crafty

[@Bush_Tucker]

These guys always get a hard on for the rangers but let's face it the dmax will be the only one still running in 20 years time

[@randyvillena4173]

Please do a performance review of the new 2020 1.9 and 3.0 isuzu d-max to see if there are any improvements from the previous model. Thanks! More power!

[@jaiyoung3319]

Wait how much psi is that 2L ranger running? How reliable are they really

[@noproblem2big337]

Exactly, longevity may be an issue...

[@briancossey9724]

How do you know the Toyota was the most reliable, did any of these cars break down?

[@carsguide]

Brian Casey, "reliable" in terms of 4WD capability. I appreciate you watching and commenting, mate. - Crafty

Overall Triton does everything well, including price.

[@charlzjones30]

Agree on this. We call this Strada in Philippines.

[@JamesyMusial14]

If the utes range from 50k - 57k and you can use a 3.2 ranger costing 56ish or a 2L costing 59, would make more sense to use the 3.2 you’d think, but then Ford might not win and they can’t have their sponsor money go to waste like that 😂😂

[@carsguide]

Jamesy YzTwoStrokeMx, You'd better watch the vid again, mate. You must have missed all that stuff at the start about the whole thing being a comparison of Australia's top-selling dual-cab utes. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Crafty

[@marcoleyson720]

Ford ranger raptor is the best I own one

[@king_h.3826]

In India Isuzu D-Max is best Pick up truck!

[@MindlessWanderings]

You shouldn't bemoan people asking about the Amarok. What's the point of comparing only the most popular models?.. They're already being sold. Why not compare the less purchased (less known or understood) models? Throw in the Amarok (which is known the be one of the better performers) or an LDV (which is $20k cheaper than most of these models) or something.

[@stendecstretcher4983]

Fair overview thankyou.

[@Johnnn93]

New subs here!💪🏽

[@elishaemanuel8512]

Which is the best king pickups truck you have to put it on the test comparison competition in rally off-road championship the winner is the best the best handling stability manuvering cornering is the best and comfortable so Mitsubishi triton the best seller less maintenance costs affordable heavy duty, Ford ranger also good but expensive maintenance,if test in rally racing championship mitsubishi is the best king winner small engine but faster and long lasting heavy duty never broke down or burning like Toyota Hilux in rally Dakar race, cross country off-road rally Thailand to Laos and Cambodia winner Mitsubishi Triton 2.4liters

[@nirajanraj545]

It will always be a HiLux for me. But is there a series of test for the cheaper utes? For the likes of Great Wall, Foton Tunland, LDV, Ssangyong and the Mahindra. They are cheaper and costs half the price of the above utes, but does its job as a work ute.

[@camhealey3149]

Far out ford must spew out some serious dollars to these journos doing reviews...drive the ranger then jump in a triton and save urself 10+ grand

[@carsguide]

Cam Healey, bloody funny, mate! If only. Our reviews are independent, objective, based on scoring against thorough criteria undertaken during comprehensive real-world testing. (Geez, didn't you see me taking notes in the front passenger seat?) Thanks for watching and commenting. - Crafty

[@camhealey3149]

@@carsguide, keep up the good reviews guys. Both cars are gonna do wat 99% off ppl need from a 4x4 Ute. Comparo was well done, just wanted to watch another 20 minutes worth 👍

[@charlzjones30]

No perfect pick up Trucks for a wise and wide-minded client. For me, what matters most is less price but with more Features and with good interiors and can be used both in proper Cities and on offroads. Toyota: has durable and tough engine but with less features on its middle variants, poor exteriors especially the paint. (Easily fades) Ranger: more features and price is affordable but the PMS is expensive and availability of its spare parts is poor and expensive. Navara: has the best ride-comfort because of its 5-multi link rear suspension plus its 360 Camera availability on its middle variants but poor also on high loads and offroads. Others: high price but less Safety and features on its middle variants. As long as you have bought any of these units and served properly its purpose then i'm sure you won't be disappointed. ✌🏾.. By the way: i'm talking about those above-mentioned pick up trucks in the Philippines.😊

[@patrickdelacruz6758]

Great job with the review. Funny how similar the car market here in the Philippines and there in Australia in terms of which brand is top selling. Been watching you guys everyday for the past month. And I should say, you’re one of my favorite channels here in YT.

[@thomjanson9644]

I've been saying it for years. Navara is the best of the bunch. The testers are starting to realise that these days. Best looking, best driving, has the least (to none) complaints, recalls or failures, best fuel economy (in the real world) and is reasonably priced. Only thing that's let's Nissan down is the service centres. Atrocious customer service.

[@Grudlin74]

Stellar job guys. Would you ever consider a cheap ass review of dual cab utes? For the wannabe tradies or fleet buyers.

[@madmick3794]

A few earth moving companies on the highway upgrade bought Foton Tunlands and they are over 4y old now and going strong, some have even grabbed the new model since release and I have spotted two Sauvana wagons on site too.

#1.D-max always on point, number #1 king of Diesel Bakkies.... #2.Hilux is a number #1 top selling bakkies in Southern African countries etc South Africa,Namibia and many more... #3.Ranger is a best looking bakkie in the market an most attractive bakkie is the range an best selling bakkie. #4. Navara is not dependable anymore especially in African Countries is not stable on the road comparing even to the old shape an its competitor in the market. If you don't love yourself just go for Hilux is the best bakkie not to be far from you, Full of power to do whatever you want to do it will teach you a lesson surprised, Crazy power, not well balanced ON/OFF ROAD,Risky! D-max is a good friend you can do whatever you want In/Out without you worried about anything aside, proven bakkie in the market. If you're a Speed Fan then know for sure D-max isn't your type. Reliability,Durability,Capability goes Hand to Hand with Isuzu....! Isuzu Forever#1

I have dmax 1.9. The acceleration is a bit lazy. But I'm slow driver. So it's fine for me. The comfort is good for me. Handling also good for my daily use. I chose dmax because it's value for money. Cheap road tax & maintenance.

I like colorado its personal preferance same with these guys that test cars they become experts in a car in a couple days.

[@ifeanyichukwueze6826]

Tell us about the reliability Resale Values Most Durable and quality of the engine's periferal part. Let us know the maintenance costs, crash tests... Like everything about getting the best out of each of them for about 5 years usage.

Crafty how was the downhill descent speed in the Triton? Cheers, Dun.

[@carsguide]

Grouse Dun, hey mate - it held a pretty solid 3-4km/h on our downhills. I did accidentally blip the throttle on one run, so HDC disengaged, but that was my fault. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting, mate. Appreciate it. - Crafty

[@saroshchaudhry4853]

For e reliability is the most important element. When you are in jungle offroading you want to make sure your pickup will get you back no matter what the conditions are. I cant imagine cv axles and computer electrical problems in the Bush. For me its hilux all the way.

[@mushimushimushi9176]

isuzu dmax is noisy?heavy duty timing chain and timing gear inside the engine,for me only 3 choices,hilux,dmax and triton,reliability and durability.

[@joslyrasitrasitrabeh7825]

Mitsubishi the best , Dakar champion very good sterling very good for high speed on highway for cross country

[@nathanma1482]

I reckon mechanical reliability and maintenance cost are critical elements for a UTE.
