Ute ReviewsPage 11

There's a new dual-cab ute on the block. It's a tougher version of the Mazda BT-50 and adds more value for buyers after a more rugged look.

The updated Nissan Navara ST-X is now what the D23 should've been all along. But for my money the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain just edges it.

If you're after a practical and good-value workhorse, then look elsewhere. But if you don't mind sacrificing payload for cool factor and unique capability, sit down and have a read.

The D23 Nissan Navara Series 5 update addresses some key issues with the stalwart workhorse, but competition is tougher than ever before.

With a list of upgrades nicked from the Raptor, the Ford Ranger FX4 Max is definitely ready to take you further than the XLT.

It splits the difference between the XLT and Raptor, but does the new Ford Ranger FX4 Max fit the bill? Paul Maric finds out.

Once upon a time the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 shared a platform and drivetrain. No longer, though. How do they compare and contrast today?

China's original ute-maker has rebranded from Great Wall to GWM, and its new Ute looks and feels about three generations ahead of its predecessor.

This is the core Ford Ranger variant, which best occupies the middle ground between work truck and premium pickup. Despite its advancing age, it's still an understandable top-seller.

It's no secret the Mazda BT-50 has taken a huge step forward. How does the second-from-top spec XTR stack up in the real world?

We take a look at the new flagship Navara's specs, and compare them to the hot-selling Isuzu D-Max equivalent. This is an on paper piece published ahead of our first crack behind the wheel of the upgraded Nissan in early 2021.

The old king is dead, long live the king? Toyota has evolved the HiLux, but that's arguably all it needed anyway.

Looking to spend just under $70,000 on a luxury Toyota HiLux? Now there's a way with the updated 2021 HiLux Rogue.

We're testing the new Isuzu D-Max LS-U and Mazda BT-50 XTR twins against the similarly priced and top-selling Ford Ranger XLT and Toyota HiLux SR5. Phwoar.

The Isuzu D-Max makes sense at the top end of the range, and it makes sense in base SX guise. Sure, you miss some of the tinsel, but there's no getting away from the fact this is a very good ute.

If you've just bought a new dual-cab ute or an SUV and there are controls for the four-wheel drive system, would you know what to do with them? We run through the basics of 2H, 4H, 4L, hill descent control and differential locks.
