Unlike some other LDV models, the T60 has the maximum five-star ANCAP crash test score based on its 2017 test, and it comes with dual front, front side and curtain airbags - even in this single-cab version.

Apart from the addition of a low range gearbox, the two models are mechanically specified identically, both running the same 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with 110kW (at 3400rpm) and 360Nm (from 1600-2800rpm), with a six-speed manual transmission. There is no auto option here.

Both have claimed fuel consumption of 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres, which is comparatively high for a diesel single-cab ute. The power outputs are comparatively low, too.

Because both models ride on the same height (4x4) chassis, both enjoy decent rough-and-tumble dimensions. The approach angle is 27 degrees, the departure angle is 24.2deg, ramp-over angle is 21.3deg, and ground clearance is 215mm.

The 4WD model has better payload capacity of 1255kg, compared with the 2WD model’s 1145kg claim. The towing capacity of both is rated at 750kg (unbraked) and 3000kg (braked), with the Gross Combined Mass listed at 6050kg for the 4WD and 5850kg for the 2WD.

There is a range of accessories on offer from LDV for the T60 ute, too, the list including an alloy nudge bar (and one with a bash plate), headlamp protectors, bonnet protector, roof bars, a tow bar, carpet floor mats, rubber floor mats, and a dash mat.

 If you want the most affordable ute on the market, you ought to look around.

LDV backs the T60 ute range with a strong five-year/130,000km warranty plan, plus there’s the same cover for roadside assist. There’s no capped-price service plan, but you will get a loan vehicle to keep you working while your ute is being serviced.

The value for money quotient may be high for the LDV, but if you want the most affordable ute on the market, you ought to look around. 

The newly added diesel manual Great Wall Steed Single Cab lists at just $18,990 drive-away for ABN holders, while the diesel manual Mahindra Genio Single Cab is listed at $21,990 drive-away.
