Nearly 240,000 utes were sold Down Under last year, making Australia one of the world’s biggest pick-up markets and the humble ute the nation’s second most popular new-vehicle type.
But which one is best and can the latest-generation Ford Ranger retain the carsales Best Dual-Cab 4x4 Ute award it claimed on debut in 2022?
Or will the Aussie-engineered Ranger be eclipsed by its new Volkswagen Amarok sister model, the all-new Mitsubishi Triton or the significantly upgraded Isuzu D-MAX?
And will the off-road prowess of the Mazda BT-50, the evergreen Toyota HiLux and the equally-old Nissan Navara be enough to hoist them to glory?
To find out, we assembled Australia’s seven best premium mid-size dual-cab 4x4 utes priced around $75,000 and assessed them against five main criteria – safety, technology, comfort/convenience, driving performance and ownership costs – as well as extensive off-road, towing and payload tests.
