7.2/10
From
$33,050
Nissan Australia and Aussie vehicle‑engineering company, Premcar, have combined forces to produce a gung‑ho Navara ute via their on‑going Warrior collaboration.It looks the goods and certainly packs a punch, conversion wise, on paper at least.But how well will this upgraded and re‑engineered 4WD handle wild weather, flooded rivers and a pair of argumentative teenaged passengers?
02.
Ford Ranger
From
$36,880
7.6/10
From
$36,880
There are plenty of variations of Australia's best‑selling ute, the Ford Ranger, from which to choose. And where once the XLT represented an appealing balance of price and features, has the new mid‑spec Ranger, the Sport, taken its place? Then the next question potential buyers have to ask themselves is: should I opt for the 2.0‑litre bi‑turbo diesel engine or the more expensive 3.0‑litre V6?
03.
Toyota HiLux
From
$26,475
8/10
From
$26,475
Toyota's GR (Gazoo Racing) performance brand is spreading across the Japanese giant's line‑up. Even the HiLux ute is getting in the act with a GR Sport variant designed to take the fight up to Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor. But what's it like as a work truck?

8/10
From
$50,990
The new‑gen Volkswagen Amarok has been on sale for about a year now so it's time to give the entry‑level Core a run through to see exactly how tradie‑friendly it is compared with its rivals.
05.
Isuzu D-Max
From
$32,200
7.5/10
From
$32,200
The Isuzu D‑Max is the only diesel ute that's been able to stay within touching distance of the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, and the brand hopes this updated model will close the gap even further.But have they done enough to keep the D‑Max fresh? We put it to the test to find out.
