7.2/10
From
$33,050

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?


02.
Mitsubishi Triton

$30,740
8/10
From
$30,740

There are four grades in the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton range, with the GSR the flagship. From launch, it's only available as a dual‑cab pick‑up with a 4x4 drivetrain for $63,840 plus on‑road costs.

Toyota HiLux
From
$26,475
8/10
From
$26,475

Toyota's GR (Gazoo Racing) performance brand is spreading across the Japanese giant's line‑up. Even the HiLux ute is getting in the act with a GR Sport variant designed to take the fight up to Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor. But what's it like as a work truck?

7.4/10
From
$13,999

Foton is planning a bright light‑commercial future in Australia, with the 2018 Tunland dual cab leading the charge. Here's why you shouldn't write it off as another cheap Chinese ute.

7/10
From
$38,990

Mahindra's evergreen Pik‑Up dual cab ute is a tough, budget‑friendly workhorse, particularly popular in rural areas. And now for the first time since its arrival back in 2007 it's available with an auto transmission. Is it a better bet than a Ford Ranger or Toyota HiLux?
