Last year I put about 10,000 ks on the work Toyota Hilux D4D towing a 2.5 ton tandem trailer and was impressed overall as the motor is economical and powerful. Definitely worth a look.

A Toyota , Nissan or Mazda for overall reliability, perhaps in that order. I drive a current model Hilux Diesel so perhaps biased opinion however there's no doubting the Hilux has the most room and biggest tray combination by far. The TD engine is ecomomical, reliable and great every day driver.

Oh dear..another which one? debate. It comes down to what you need and what suits your purposes. When I was looking last year I got every specification from 3 models I was looking at and compared major features. I had to have a space cab, something that could carry a lot of weight (goodbye Hilux), and have lots of tray size to carry a slide on camper. Four doors is a bit different to my situation but as long as you know what you need, look for those features. Get the specs and find out about head and leg room if that's important to you, because they are all different. Get diesel if you are doing distances. Otherwise if you want easy answers I suggest the current model rodeohiluxnavara ute. Its a beauty!
Good luck; nice to have the choices.

I'd be looking seriously at the Navara diesel automatic.

Never thought I'd say that, as previous model Navara was a piece of junk - where I was working last year recently got rid of about 30 of them and changed back to Toyota because of the problems we were having and the high maintenance cost.

However, I've got a couple of friends with the new ones and so far very impressed. One of these friends though, has had a lot of problems with the manual - blown a gearbox on one occasion and a clutch and flywheel on another (new flywheel had to come from Japan) - hence the recommendation for auto. Friend with the auto is manager of earthmoving contractor in mining industry, and he uses his to get around some pretty ordinary work sites - he is very happy with it. The friend with the manual is a fitter - the Navara is his private vehicle and is not used on mine sites. He's very fussy and looks after his vehicle well.

Not as impressed with the new Hi-lux, though the new D4D engine is brilliant. I've always had Toyota work vehicles, but at the moment, I'd prefer the Navara if given the choice.

And there's no bias - I'm one of those strange people who owns a Land Rover.

Bset of luck ........... BM
