    The realm of high‑end, high‑performance utes is an increasingly competitive slice of the new vehicle market. The latest Ford Ranger Raptor to enter the arena has a V6 engine, an upgraded suspension set‑up and drive modes aimed at further bolstering its growing reputation as a built‑for‑purpose adventure machine.But does the Raptor have serious potential as a touring 4WD?

    The new‑generation Mitsubishi Triton range marks the biggest change for the model in a long time: a new bi‑turbo engine (150kW/470Nm), new chassis and suspension, overhauled design (with a longer wheelbase), and increased towing capacity, among a raft of changes.The new mid‑grade GLX‑R sports a few extras beyond what the lower‑spec vehicles get ‑ most importantly, Super Select 4WD‑II.

    Toyota HiLux

    $31,988
    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?

    Isuzu D-Max

    $31,880
    The D‑Max Blade, a collaboration between Isuzu and the Walkinshaw Automotive Group, was developed locally as a hardcore four‑wheel drive. It has 3mm steel bash plates, Aussie‑tuned and lifted suspension, light truck construction all‑terrain tyres and Blade‑specific design enhancements. But, without extra power and torque, is the Blade actually worth $15,000 more than the LS‑U+ on which it's based?

    Mazda BT-50
    From
    $34,990
    7.0/10
    From
    $34,990
    The Mazda BT‑50 range has been through a Ford Ranger‑based generation and now the second phase of its Isuzu D‑Max‑based generation. This latest update has brought more safety gear, new wheels and exterior lighting, an upgraded multimedia system, as well as styling tweaks across the board, including to the interior trim. Prices have gone up across the range so is the new top‑shelf SP worth a look?
