Best Utes according to our experts

01.

Ford Ranger

4.5

From

$28,340

02.

Nissan Navara

4

From

$26,500

The Navara is Nissan's entry into the hotly contested Australian ute market. With Toyota's HiLux and Ford's Ranger arm-wrestling for the leadership position...

03.

Toyota HiLux

3.5

From

$22,325

I bet Toyota couldn't have predicted in its wildest dreams the HiLux's runaway success in Australia in the last few years.

04.

Mazda BT-50

4

From

$29,060

It's comfortable, capable and better looking than ever before, but is that enough to finally propel Mazda's BT-50 to a place in the upper echelon of Australia's dual-cab ute brigade?

05.

Mitsubishi Triton

Mitsubishi Triton

4.5

From

$22,490

We recently spent a working week in Mitsubishi's stylish premium-grade Triton to see how it measures up in the premium ute market.

Is Toyota the new homegrown Holden? How Australia was critical in shaping how the new HiLux looks and drives

Toyota might not build cars in Australia any longer, but if the new HiLux is anything to go by, our fingerprints are all over the design and engineering of its vehicles.
