THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!!! Informative and entertaining, not too short, not too long, covering every important aspect of the cars... Good job!

[@Drivecomau]

Thanks!

[@911ManchesterUnited]

Just bought the new Ranger Wildtrak, it will be arriving in about 2 months time and watching these videos man I just can't wait!

[@iVan123]

how's it holding up if you don't mind my asking

[@andreasjsn]

Best comparison out there, really good job, especially at staying unbiased. Enjoyed reading the article as well! And it takes a lot for a South African to give such praise to Australians! ;) But I really enjoy all of your reviews!

[@Drivecomau]

Thanks Andreas!

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Andreas Naudé Auto Expert has a channel on KZbin and he does a great comparison on this category. Definitely worth watching for a very unbiased comparison.

[@mandysav294]

+José Jaime Quiroz Aparicio WTF

[@thebeerhunter817]

Good review guys. The hilux isn't a bad car its just that the best thing about it is the badge. The other cars rely on actually being good not just an old worn out reputation due too smart advertising.

[@kevgits]

Nice vid. Would have loved to see a drag race of all eight of them though and a hill climb from a dead stop mid hill. Well done guys.

[@ishaancurtis620]

i realize it's kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@abdulln1439]

After reading the comments, I think Saudis and Australians share the same concept for Toyota Hilux, which is the top selling small size pick up truck here in Saudi Arabia. In my opinion, yes it has the least options and tech, mainly in the safety department, but it is the most reliable truck in this category with high reselling price as used truck, reasonably cheap parts and easy maintenance. When people buy a small truck, they usually focus on the practical part more than options and other stuff.

[@JasonDunlop247]

I currently have a 2013 Ranger Limited & i love it. My next vehicle will again be the new ranger.....

[@dangleeson7917]

I have the new ranger and tried all before I went with it. best bang for buck

[@carlosbukros9620]

wow that`s what i call a very good presenter...very nice CARADVICE i like it shout out from the philippines...

[@joshlouw1]

Love it! Well done guys! Interesting how the Amarok got 2nd place just because it does not have airbags in the rear! LOL! Think that says a lot since it is the oldest among them. Like the look of the Ranger though.

[@gregj4478]

Good job, gents. Nice to see an objective, fact-based review with a decisive ranking and clear winner, with none of this "they're all good trucks, the best one for you depends on what your needs are" cop-out crapola. Thanks.

[@Drivecomau]

Awks. That was our draft outro to the video - so kinda glad we changed it :) Seriously though, thank you for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the comparo.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Greg J For a completely unbiased and fact based review of this segment of vehicles, go and check out Autoexpert tv on youtube. He cuts out all the bullshit and gets right down to the nuts and bolts of the issue. If I want car advice, he's my go to guy.

[@Nathaniel2256Studios]

My pick is the VW Amarok for its styling, V6 engine, interior, big tub, and ride comfort.

[@AakashNarang]

Really enjoyed it! Thumbs up guys :)

[@MegaBear78]

I love how they use the top spec Colorado.

[@kishankish5438]

Love my d23 series navara, comfortable drive!!but can't beat the d40

[@TheOceanman290]

Great job guys. I love my Ranger.

[@coetzer94]

I think you should include price, standard accessories and maintenance plans/cost of maintenance into the test as it has an effect al to which would be a good compromise. Every ute has strong an weak points, you just choose a compromise that works for you.

[@MRDOOMBOY12345]

Cheers for the good review CarAdvice! :D

[@Drivecomau]

Thanks!

[@torevaquero]

Great review!! Objective and serious... I work in the oil industry in South Argentina.... If you want to find crappie roads and tough conditions you should come around... Companies used to buy only Hilux here for reliability, now ranger is almost even in market share... I drive my hilux SR 3.0 on a daily basis and sometimes my bosses wildtrack... Ford really nailed it this time!! Will buy the new ranger this year

[@DO0DMISTER]

Holy crap, this was a productive video

[@Drivecomau]

We thought a bit of a 'behind the scenes' look would help tell the story

[@bahamatodd]

Nice video. Next time you guys are in the US it would be interesting to see a quick review of the newest US midsize trucks (Colorado and Tacoma) to see what you think.

[@ProductofNZ]

the ranger was NZs best selling car last year. will be interested to see what happens this year

[@peaceandbalancelove]

Excellent video mate!

[@josemarrero7067]

mazda the perfect company of sports cars

[@peteleesy]

Been waiting all year for the all new Hilux. Went for a test drive and then went and drove the new ranger. Traded my hilux in on a ranger.

[@sourwords1808]

and now you will have a bad reliability and resale. Granted Ford's driving experience can't be beaten. But you arnt buying a luxury family sedan. It's a work horse. I think sales figures don't lie. Toyota H, out sells the competition here by miles. And we all know why.

[@alfstubedin]

+No Way because they're both made cheaply in thailand?

[@sourwords1808]

+alfstubedin Toyota Hilux is the third best selling car in Australia currently. That's amongst the all categories. And Thai made cars are in number 2 after Japanese.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+No Way Sales figures are a result of the depth of the marketing departments pockets. When common sense begins to prevail, people will begin to see that the world of Utes is passing them by. They were the best of the best and created a fantastic product which earned and deserved the King of the Hill badge but the competition has taken note and started to do something about it. Hills is simply resting on its laurels. Only 5 speed in auto and manual, are you kidding and they released this after everyone else had their new offerings out. If that is not arrogance, then I don't know what is. You talk about resale value, that one thing alone will effect the resale value drastically. Who in their right mind is going to buy a 2016 5 speed ute with less power, less torque and less towing capacity than half the other vehicles on this review, in 2 or 3 years from now. No, forget about that, who in their right mind is going to do that, NOW and then pay more for the privilege. In my humble opinion, buying one of these vehicle is going to be one of the most expensive items most people are going to buy so why not get the biggest bang for your money.

[@hazz569]

+No Way The Ford ranger is the most sold vehicle in New Zealand. The Hilux is 3rd. I think we all know why. Most ute drivers today also want a comfortable experience, and many just use them as lifestyle vehicles rather than for work. Expect to see Australia follow the same trend as New Zealand. At the moment all signs point to the Ranger outselling the Hilux in Aus.

[@adventureswithtourettes5174]

our Colorado tows amazing and has rear air bags and good leg space and is comfortable towing and not towing.

[@mariodeoliveira1760]

@adventures with Tourette's. How is the colorado doing now? I am interested in a 2nd hand 2016 Colorado high country. I am very interested in reliability feedback.

[@megawatideoktovia9352]

I trust the best and the greatest is Mitsubishi Triton because it very good in driving handling and cornering , the champion of Dakar rally so Mitsubishi is very tough and heavy duty for long distance like cross country and going fast at highway

[@timmyjg1981]

Ranger. Designed in Australia, best on test.

[@hotelpv]

It all depends on what you need your vehicle for. I don't need to go offroading constantly or in harsh terrain. I do need a vehicle with decent ground clearance and a soft rid. Most of the time the bed is empty so I will go with a multi link suspension. Like the looks of the Nissan best over the rest of the vehicles. Chose to buy one because it fulfills my needs the best. That doesn't mean is the best truck, but it is the truck the suits my needs the best. Hope it does not come with quality and reliability issues I had with my past Navara. The last version was crap.

[@johnescarcha7689]

safe choice dmax hilux and triton want more power but not a long term engine go for ford ranger mazda bt50 and navarra too much power make engine stressful great power comes with great responsibility

[@nadheembera9250]

Great battle between the different double cabs but disappointed that there were no comparisons with regards to fuel consumption and the fact that toyota has produced a smaller engine as compared to its predecessor and is a force to be reckoned with.

[@merza16465]

navara is the best on offroad 😀😀😀Diflock same patrol duble gear babyyyyyyyyy

[@stevenstjohn6681]

It's funny to read all the hilux and Toyota die hards having a cry 😥😭😪

[@MegaDanielthegreat]

Say what you will, Hilux is still the top selling ute in the country

[@paulodepablo3649]

Dude, I know your Australian but please be a proper English man and make use of grammar from high school and not invent your own. Thank you. Oh, if I wanted to buy a pick up I'd go for the most fuel efficient one with a budget of course. 20mpg or 30kpg would be great. But I can't find any forums that actually gives out proper specs and not propaganda to buy their brand.

[@yoku_ti23]

We'll see you cry when your beloved ute(non Toyota) breaks down somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

[@miloraca]

I think I like my Px MK1 ranger better than the new facelift MK2, anyone considering spending 50k plus on a twin cab should vigorously test and research them,don't always believe the hype! Ranger won me over,BT50 close 2nd

[@MrAkwaholic]

+miloraca Im with you. I did considerable research on Utes before I pulled the trigger and the only reason I got the BT-50 was they gave me a better deal financially.

[@dratempest610]

miloraca For money agreed the bt50 is a great ute ,only thing that could be better is for Mazda Japan to build them !

[@miloraca]

Dra Tempest Amarok is built in Argentina , Navara in Spain, all the rest in Thailand, yes hilux fanboys,it is as well! The lowest bidder wins these days,unfortunately, would be nice if Australia built the ranger it designed, and Japan the BT50

[@jollygoodyo]

Rangers would make good trucks weekend warriors who don't push their vehicles to their limits. There's a reason why overlanders still prefer their trustworthy Toyotas. Personally, if looks were out of the picture, I would have rated the Isuzu to be the best truck of the lot. With a reliable engine and probably the nest low range torque amongst the lot, it's definitely the most practical in real world use.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+marcustya88 You are Joking, right. 380Nm of torque and a 5 speed auto transmission. Its barely a middle of the pack runner. It can tow 3500kg on a braked trailer, so thats nice otherwise there are much better options available. If you think of it objectively, wouldn't you want more features, more power, more torque for the same amount of money? I know I would...

[@jollygoodyo]

6 speed actually! Which is amazing. But if it breaks down in the middle of a third world country while you're on an overlanding trip, bless you. So really , depends on what you use it for. Also, you should check out Isuzu's flat torque curve and great fuel efficiency combined with it's lower weight- guarantee for a top performing truck. If you're rtruly looking for a pick up truck and not a pick up car, that is.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+marcustya88 Its a good job then that Im not planning any long overland trips in third world countries. I live in a 1st world country where if anything went wrong, the roadside assistance would be there in a few hours at worst. I have seen the flat torque curve and it concerns me. It seems a little artificial to me, as if it has been restricted in some way. Maybe to ensure the inferior design of the chassis or the transmission doesn't fail under the extra torque that the power plant can produce. Don't believe the hype.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+marcustya88 And on the fuel efficiency, its pushing out less power and torque so of course its going to be more fuel efficient. Also, Ive just been to the Australian and New Zealand Isuzu websites and I can't find mention of a 6 speed transmission anywhere. Please show me where it does and I will stand corrected.

[@jollygoodyo]

Dean van der Merwe oh you're right bout the 5 speed gear. I miread. Thought you were referring to the Ranger.

[@LifeCampTV]

hilux and dmax

[@prasanabhandari2664]

[@yusuf.alajnabi]

No mention of the triton?

[@JWM_Vids]

Great video but you needed to spend a little more time on the results. You didn't say anything about the Triton apart from the price and the rear lid. The Colorado and BT50 also only had one line. Also when doing comparisons, price is important.

[@djp4nfa]

I wonder how far gm are from a new Colorado....

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Jamnong Kingmala You have got you list all fucked up Bro. Is your info coming from your heart or by doing some real research like comparing the vehicles and doing test drives and speaking to other people. To me it looks like your list goes according to the utes which look the prettiest. Which criteria are you using to put the BT-50 behind the hilux, isuzu, triton and Navara. Those can all shuffle down below the Bt-50 and Ranger. I think you have the Amarok in the right place but who really cares, your shortlist should only have 2 vehicles on it, right. Ford and Mazda. They are at the top of the pile at the moment. I hope the others can do something to improve.

[@tharathepkingmala7723]

+Dean van der Merwe madam!! Please experts rated car. I answered myself, right? I listed That does not mean that all cars are ranked according to the ranking that really. You too seriously It means that the rating. Thailand's domestic sales of pickup trucks. The accumulated sales throughout the year with Vogue !! Please refer to the PDE www.toyota.co.th

[@MrAkwaholic]

Sales figures are a representation of how successful the marketing campaigns are. Toyota has simply spent more money on advertising the Hilux over the years and thats why its number1 in sales in a lot of countries. Recently people have begun to educate themselves more before spending the big bucks on a new truck and they are starting to realise that what was once the best is not so anymore. You will see Hilux slowly slide down the rankings.

[@MrBotyesz]

why he says ute for the 4x4 pick up ? I'm not from australia but if I'm not wrong the therm ute is for a half car half truck with rwd like the holden maloon or utility coupe

[@thedescriptions6646]

In the Hilux did you use power mode, because when you start it, the Hilux is automatically in standard mode which is not as responsive as power mode.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+jamie clark Power mode or not, Hilux is underdone on every measurable criteria and the people are beginning to notice.

[@thedescriptions6646]

+Dean van der Merwe are you a Ford guy

[@MrAkwaholic]

No Jamie, Im a common sense guy. I don't care what the badge is. I don't like paying more and getting less. Its that simple. Toyota is charging more money and offering less for it and the people are paying it because of the hype surrounding the reliability of Hilux. they have done a stellar job convincing you. For every story of sensational reliability with Hilux, there is one of equal reliability with Ford or Mazda or Holden Ill bet that Mitsi has them aswell as VW and the others. On the other side of the argument there are just as many Hilux owners crying about this and that going wrong as there are owners of any of the other brands. If you are having a good experience with owning your Hilux then I am happy for you. I mean that sincerely. The ute segment is very strong at the moment, it hasn't always been that way. Hilux has been the king for a long time and has built a good reputation for reliability. over the last few years the other guys have noticed and started doing something about it and they are putting up very good examples of what people want in a ute. Hilux has kinda been resting on their laurels a little and I think its going to hurt them. The thing that really surprised me about the Hilux is that they were the last ones to release their new model and they have come up short of the mark. They knew what all the others had put up. They had a great opportunity to put up the market leader and they blew it. The previous model is 10 years old so if history were to repeat, this new model has to last 10 years before the next release. Wouldn't you want to be the market leader when you are entering a new phase of life instead of somewhere down the list knowing that the others are only going to get better. Think about it objectively considering all the brands, where they are going how often they develop and put out new products and what they are actually putting out and then make up your mind. I did, and Hilux wasn't on my short list this time. I hope they do something about it because I actually like their styling over the others but that stuff is only skin deep. This time the BT50 won my money and that was only down to price. I got a much better deal from Mazda than I did from Ford and I think that was because of the current trend toward the Ranger. Their product is in more demand at the moment so they are less likely to discount it. Thats the way it goes, supply and demand but the BT-50 is the same vehicle under the hood. Thats why I don't care. I got what I need. Market leading equipment.

[@gtsimmo7121]

[@ansett7687]

[@ansett7687]

Dean van der Merwe hmmm more shit propaganda probably sourced from a butt hurt Hilux driver. I have had mine for 3 years and have never had to put a drop of oil in it other then servicing. I think you are confusing that problem with the first release of the diesel V8 Landcruisers. 'Research' any Dual Cab available on the market today and they will all have some sort of issues.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Ansett76 All vehicles have some sort of issue somewhere. I think you are just lucky you haven't been cursed with the problem. It is a known problem with Amarok, Im definitely not confused. I wouldn't buy a Hilux either. In my opinion the top 3 vehicles in the double cab sector is Ranger, BT-50 and Colorado. Just my 5c worth.

[@ansett7687]

Dean van der Merwe well, its funny that since buying the Amarok I seem to get approached by other Amarok drivers (seems to be a regular thing) not one has had anything but praise. Most state they will only ever buy Amarok again. Amarok drives better then any of those and will get to the same places, on much less fuel.

[@Astute_white]

Ford is the winner! even if they tested here is just the XLT not the WILDTRAK. The Hilux is also good but what I dislike is they didn't change the looks which is old classic style. And the Hilux has only 700mm water wading compared to the others which has 800.

[@arnoldmunashe3333]

the ford ranger is simply TOP OF THE RANGE

[@andrewlinford-garcia9248]

Has anyone actually watched the Euro crash test videos. Firstly, children in the rear often fall under the rear airbag height so are rendered useless regarding rear airbags to protect children. Secondly, the Amarok stood up if not better than other UTE's regarding front, rear and side impacts. The rear children did not bounce around or have major jolting compared to others in its class. In my view a safer UTE by far. And the children and airbag is the excuse given for the no. 2 spot?????? No mention on servicing, repair costs, part availability, warrantee, long term use and costs with real world milage...... WOW!!!! Which company paid the most money for this review then :) ?

[@Hunter-yy4es]

can never believe any car review, you don't know the deal these guys do before a video. just go out an compare yourself.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Hunter Johno Im with you there, do lots of research and don't believe any of the advertising campaigns. They are all bullshit.

[@aabidamn]

+Dean van der Merwe I disagree. Watching these videos are part of the research. It sets up bullet points for us before we go out and compare them ourselves. Rather than testing 8 brands out there (each car with different trims, engine, and gearbox), these reviews help shrinks down our option so we are more focused on comparing the best of the bunch.

[@MrAkwaholic]

Im not saying don't watch these reviews, Im saying don't pay any attention to the advertising campaigns. Its reviews like this that led me to making my final decision not a flashy TV or magazine advert.

+Kenneth “Nightwatch” O'Malley Ouch, my bad. I actually meant Ford Bronco, not the Everest. Everest is a 3-row SUV sold primarily in SE Asia (I live in the Philippines) and is based on the same chassis as the Ranger. An all-new version was just released for 2016 (the previous version was ancient) and the front clip is the same as the 2016 Ranger. If you search KZbin you will undoubtedly see some reviews of it. Yes, no doubt Ford can say they are "considering it" all day long, but the proof is in the pudding. But I'm quite sure they are not going to concede the market to GM when Ford have a solid product available (Ranger) that is ready to compete (or nearly ready, pending safety and emiisions changes for the American market).

+Kenneth “Nightwatch” O'Malley Don't bother, One burst into flame spontaneously recently. New Model with lots of teeth ing problems.

[@lunarwinds2000]

Oh that's great. Nissan needs to bring an excellent vehicle to stand out in the crowd. They make good vehicles but nothing that really draws attention.

[@Thatleochang]

how are Ute different than pickups?

[@Drivecomau]

They are the same. Just different names.

[@ThePalancaNegra]

CarAdvice.com.au, this is the best comparison I ever seen so far. What is the top speed of those Utes

[@evoemperor3776]

of course its always been the ford ranger. ford was busy designing their f series pick up they let the toyota play for a while.

[@tfs1237]

Great review, Toyota would be well advised to retire the Hilux brand in Asia (as the new model is average at best and still over the top expensive) and release the Tacoma, especially now the mining industry in Australia cant keep propping up their over all sales numbers............just a thought.

[@lilnips]

Can someone please tell me which is better, a hilux or a ranger..

[@iestynevans9275]

Would be a diffrent story after 100k miles would be less than half of those pickups still running

[@79denali]

the oldest truck on comparisson takes the second place , better than hilux , I am impressed ..........

[@rajaindo]

D-max over anything

+CarAdvice.com.au Are these figures for Auto or Manual

[@spydoorman7583]

+CarAdvice.com.au Wow the Ranger is fast, quite surprsing considering the Holden Colorado 2.8 is supposed to be the strongest engine and the Mazda BT-50 is slower than its twin.

[@juzulueta]

How the fuck isuzu is doing good at 0-100. I seen alot of video where hilux eat ranger

[@davidackley4102]

@@Drivecomau I don't believe that the bt50 with the exact same powertrain is 1.3 seconds slower 0-100.

[@ehupnowthen]

Great video guys...well done. I have been a loyal Toyota fan 4 ever I am on my fourth Hilux Invicible Auto and ready to change...I never thought I would drive anything else but I cant stand the look of the new Hilux..what have they been doing at Toyota for 10 years to come up with this? Lazy? I dont like the style it is no change from the old and it is uglier...how have they managed this? I have a Ranger Wildtrak on trial for a week and from what I have heard it is so much better...never had a Ford but this just might be their time.

[@ehupnowthen]

+Joel Mammachen How right you are....I have just had the Wildtrack 3.2 for a weeks trial and it breaks me to say this vehicle is far superior to the new Hilux it is a more refined engine it is a better ride it is more comfortable it is a better ride with a ton in the back it tows better pulling our 2.8 ton mini digger..it breaks my heart to move away from Hilux but that is what I have done I have ordered the new Ford Ranger Wildtrack in white with every extra available £38.700 will it be as good in 4 years? as the Hilux time will tell.

[@howtofixyourtech9945]

I reckon that started happening when they started building the Hilux’s in Thailand.

[@trezythirdy3527]

what is the wading depth of the toyota hilux 2016.

[@mhe0815]

700mm. You're welcome.

[@trezythirdy3527]

thank you

[@trezythirdy3527]

mhe0815 what is the Ford ranger 3.2 wildtrak's wading depth

[@mhe0815]

800mm

[@trezythirdy3527]

mhe0815 so the XLT Ford ranger's wading depth is 700mm and the Ford ranger wildtrak's wading depth is 800mm

[@b2plus]

I just bought a New Hilux SR5 in Olympia red color

[@davidackley4102]

Congrats on your new smoke machine. Has it shit itself yet?

[@sauberbeast]

"Proudly sponsored by Ford."

[@MrAkwaholic]

+sauberbeast No sponsor necessary. Its the best for a reason. If you remove emotion from your decision making process and compare of measurable criteria. There is no argument.

[@sauberbeast]

Dean - let's see how emotionless you are when your ranger turbo throws a cooling line and cooks the engine? Or when the gearbox decides to shit itself in the middle of no mans land? Or when you unknowingly drain the oil for longer than 10 minutes and destroy the engine on startup? The ranger is pretty, but she is poorly tested and guaranteed to let you down - go do your research.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+sauberbeast There are no guarantees in life, including a guarantee to let you down. There are plenty of Ranger drivers who have been doing do for years without issue. There are just as many driving other brands who are just as happy. The opposite is also true where there are drivers who have horror stories about their vehicles, be it the Ranger, Hilux Amarok or any of the others in this review. I understand that a lot about buying a ute is personal taste and a lot of buyers do so without actually comparing one over the other. I have done a lot of research because I don't want to have to do it again because I made a mistake. In my journey to select a ute I drove lots of them spoke to mechanics, read endless amounts of blogs and reviews and in the end my opinion was that the Ranger was the best vehicle at the time. The Mazda BT-50 was a very close 2nd and then the Holden Colorado. The Holden was dismissed due to the uncertainty of the brand in our region.

[@MrAkwaholic]

+sauberbeast In the end Mazda offered me a better deal and I couldn't justify the marginal difference for the price difference. I'm happy with my Mazda but I still think the Ranger is better.

[@lilnips]

Dean van der Merwe so ranger has no long term issues?

[@jdriver100]

I didn't here them say that the hilux is the only 4x4 there with reinforced back doors for safety. And that the resale value is much better to. hilux for life. 08 hilux 255 000km of tough driving and when I say tough I mean it and she is still going strong, hate to see her go but I just love the new 16 hilux.

So many cool trucks you can't get in Canada :(

[@michaelduong3852]

i quite like the way the holden looks tho....

[@MrAkwaholic]

+michael duong Now thats a top reason to buy a vehicle you want to be powerful and capable. This is not a comparison on handbags. Who gives a fuck what it looks like. It has a job to do.

[@michaelduong3852]

+Dean van der Merwe That is your opinion... i dont even need the ute for what it is capable of because i dont work in an area where i would need it or at least require to carry heavy load... i only have a ute to park in loading zones and thats it... so to me i dont give a fuck about the power or capability and care about how it looks because i will be seeing it on my drive way every day and not in the mud...

[@MrAkwaholic]

Each to their own.

[@Rossinator69]

How can they say the Ranger is number 1 when the Bt-50 is essentially the same vehicle. Its got FoMoCo all over it.

[@valfotevski5745]

It would be nice to do a comparison vid between both the ranger & hilux @ around 100,000klm to really show which is the most reliable 4wd here.......then we can talk. My guess is the unbreakable most reliable best depreciation valued vehicle THE KING HILUX will always end up on top. 👍

[@armandkyletupino3039]

yes, hilux all the way:)!!

[@MrAkwaholic]

+Armand Kyle Tupino You guys are having a laugh. They days of the Hilux are over. You are living in the past. The King is dead.

[@dr.moontatharmohammedalhar6722]

thanks for the hard work but that is not fair mitsubishi triton must be the best its the fastest strongest and the most economic in addition to that its the best good looking from any side

ooops it has one proplem its come to iraq with cheap engine and materials

[@trezythirdy3527]

how about you use the Ford ranger wildtrak

[@UberPlatinum]

I don't think it's fair to put wildtrak in this comparison because the displacement is different. Wildtrak is 3.2 while the others are below that number. Yet wildtrak is more expensive than the others.

[@trezythirdy3527]

but still the Ford ranger XLT won

[@trezythirdy3527]

the toyota hilux failed the moose test though its like a stability test its in youtube search toyota hilux moose test.

ute?

[@beresheeth]

"D-Max 8.1L/100km 10.9L/100km 35 per cent over" Funny that I own 2 Dmax's 3L, owned 3 Rangers T6, Old Hilux and Amarok. While the Isuzu has a harsh ride and alot of engine noise.... it sure have better fuel consumption than quoted in your test!!! Maybe your calculator has issues.
