The long‑awaited electrified Ford Ranger has arrived. The Blue Oval's plug‑in joins a very short list of partly battery‑powered rival utes, but Ford Australia says the Ranger hasn't been compromised for the sake of its new EV ability. We're here to find out if that's true.

Ram 1500

From
$103,888
Australia's big‑ute best‑seller, the Ram 1500, evolves with the Rebel, as a Ford Ranger Wildtrak‑style sporty off‑road value proposition. Based on the Laramie Sport and aimed directly at the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2, the Rebel gains a suspension lift and other 4x4‑focused gear, yet retains the sophistication that's made today's 1500 a segment favourite. And its twin‑turbo six is a gem.

Most of the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series line‑up has undergone a recent comprehensive update ‑ along with price increases to match ‑ but while the third‑from‑top Sahara gets a $1119 price rise, it has received no updates this time around.Can the 300 Series stay viable in an increasingly competitive 4WD market? More importantly, is this Toyota 4WD wagon still an off‑road champ?

Volkswagen Australia used its Amarok dual‑cab ute to set a new record for crossing Australia's 10 deserts... in one go. And a limited run of 300 '10 Deserts Edition' examples has been commissioned to celebrate. We've driven it on‑road and over some challenging off‑highway trails to find out if the value and dynamic ability equation adds up.

Like them or loathe them, US utes here to stay. Bigger and torquier than the usual mainstream utes we're used to seeing in Australia, these US utes have plenty of appeal as load‑luggers and towing platforms.And that's where the 2025 Silverado HD (Heavy Duty) LTZ Premium ‑ with a tweaked 6.6‑litre turbo‑diesel V8 engine (1322Nm) and a braked towing capacity of 4500kg ‑ slots into the market.
