01.
Ford Ranger
From

7.0/10
From
$36,880
When you have the number one selling vehicle in the country on your books picking up incremental volume can be a challenge. But expanding the range is one way to do it. Which is why Ford has added yet another variant, the off‑highway focused Tremor, to its Ranger ute line‑up. Contributing Journalist Dave Morley has slipped behind the wheel to see if the value and performance equation stacks up.
02.
Mitsubishi Triton
From
$30,740
8.6/10
From
$30,740
The Mitsubishi Triton has been relaunched and features a bunch of upgrades and design changes. How does the flagship GSR variant fair over a week of family‑testing?
03.
Nissan Navara
From
$33,550
7.2/10
From
$33,550
Nissan Australia and Aussie vehicle‑engineering company, Premcar, have combined forces to produce a gung‑ho Navara ute via their on‑going Warrior collaboration.It looks the goods and certainly packs a punch, conversion wise, on paper at least.But how well will this upgraded and re‑engineered 4WD handle wild weather, flooded rivers and a pair of argumentative teenaged passengers?
04.
Toyota HiLux
From
$26,475
7.6/10
From
$26,475
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?
05.
Mazda BT-50
From
$35,520
7.9/10
From
$35,520
The most expensive Mazda ute comes with plenty of kit, but its price is creeping close to the likes of Ford's venerable Ranger Raptor without the muscular might to match. So, does the BT‑50 Thunder Pro bring value in other ways?
