Isuzu D-Max

From

7.9/10

From

$29,490

The D‑Max Blade, a collaboration between Isuzu and the Walkinshaw Automotive Group, was developed locally as a hardcore four‑wheel drive. It has 3mm steel bash plates, Aussie‑tuned and lifted suspension, light truck construction all‑terrain tyres and Blade‑specific design enhancements. But, without extra power and torque, is the Blade actually worth $15,000 more than the LS‑U+ on which it's based?

Nissan Navara

From

$34,880

8.0/10

From

$34,880

While the highly‑specified 4WD dual cab ute models get all the focus its the no‑fuss entry‑level models that get the work done. And Nissan's Navara SL is a classic example. Not the highest profile option in the market and getting a bit long in the tooth but it still has a lot to offer tradies needing a tough truck.

8.1/10

From

$29,980

The Mitsubishi Triton cab‑chassis in base‑grade GLX trim is clearly aimed at buyers wanting a turbo‑diesel ute that's primarily designed for hard work, but does it tick all the boxes for tradies?

Toyota HiLux

From

$30,990

7.6/10

From

$30,990

The current generation Toyota HiLux ute is perilously close to its tenth birthday and Toyota has moved to freshen up its appeal with a mild hybrid version of the SR5 grade. Does it make a difference and is it enough to change you mind about that Ford Ranger you've had your eye on?
