Best dual-cab 4x4 ute?

What would you suggest as the best 4WD ute for me? I am 65 and hope this would last me for as long as I drive. I do about 15,000km a year, often towing a boat or caravan. I have a 2001 Mazda Bravo which I got new and it has served me well over 275,000km. I am hoping to pay no more than $35,000-$36,000, What would you suggest in a four-door twin-cab diesel manual? I like Mazda or Ranger, had even thought of D-Max or Colorado.

The locally developed Ranger gets The Tick and is best in class. Also check pricing on the Mazda BT-50 as it's a clone of the Ford, as well as private pricing for Mitsubishi's Triton.
