The new Ford Ranger's interior reflects the growing popularity of pick-up trucks as business vehicles that can also double as family transport on weekends. Much thought has been given to the provision of storage space, there are no fewer than five cup holders, a pull-out tray in the instrument panel and two deep storage bins in the centre console to keep your odds and ends in check.

A viable and cost effective alternative to the Mitsubishi L200 and Nissan Navara, the Ford Ranger offers exceptional value.

The 5th generation Toyota Hilux was a big vehicle but its successor has even more mass about it. The new flared wheelarches, an imposing grille and under-bumper combination and large headlamps help to emphasise this chunkiness. The new Toyota Hilux is built on a tough ladder frame chassis as serious off road vehicles traditionally are, stiffness has been upped by 45% over the 5th generation model. The result is improved body control and fewer vibrations resulting in reduced cabin noise. The Hilux has enjoyed years of success and will continue to do so for many more to come.

The Hilux Invincible is high on styling and tactile comfort. Quite simply, nothing compares. 15" metallic finish alloys, stainless steel side running bars, front fog lamps, Optitron displays and rear privacy glass make the exterior stand out dramatically. Full map touch screen navigation with a DVD database for Europe completes the premium feel, whilst the leather shift lever and steering wheel ensure you have all the necessary comforts.

The new Nissan Navara is a substantially larger vehicle than the model it replaces.  Buyers can specify the Navara in Double Cab or King Cab form depending on their passenger-carrying requirements. The Nissan Navara Double Cab now offers genuine 5-seater capabilities thanks to the extended cab dimensions in this Navara along with proper 4-door access. The King Cab has a load bay of 1,861mm in length that's 1,130mm wide while the Double Cab offers the same width coupled to a length of 1,511mm. Buyers used to UK market pick-ups with between 100 and 130bhp will feel their eyebrows raising at the Nissan Navara's 174bhp output. There's a massive 403Nm of torque too which should give the Navara real prowess as a towing vehicle.

Never before has a pick-up looked like this. Never before has a pickup driven like this. Gone is the old torsion bar front suspension traditional amongst pick-ups, and in its place are independent double wishbones and coiled springs – just as tough, just as workmanlike but giving you a far, far better ride. Gone is the old recirculating ball steering and in its place a power assisted rack and pinion set up, which means that compared with its peers the L200 will turn on a sixpence – a real boon when parking or manoeuvring around Britain’s crowded streets. On the Warrior you can rely on an electronic stability and traction control system to control the braking and power distribution to individual wheels for superior handling in tricky conditions – something you’ll not find in any other pick-up anywhere.

The previous generation Mitsubishi L200 ran riot in the UK pick-up sector for seven long years, mopping up over 45% of total sales in its 2003 heyday. Can the all new L200 continue to go from strength to strength, you bet it can! The new curvy looks are outstanding and ensure that there is nothing else quite like it in the market place. The L200 double cab version offers very good leg room for rear passengers and still leaves you with 1325mm load length. Whichever Mitsubishi L200 bodystyle you choose, it will have a 1,085mm load width, a capacity to carry in excess of 1,000kg and a 2,700kg braked trailer towing limit. Inside, the curvy theme is mirrored with a bulging dash featuring smoothly-penned controls and instruments.

Mitsubishi offers L200 buyers two engine options - a 138bhp 2.5-litre turbodiesel and a tweaked version of the same unit with 165bhp. The 138bhp delivers respectable pace and flexibility, while the more powerful unit can keep up with the rival Nissan Navara.

For almost two decades the Mitsubishi L200 has retained its position as the king of pick-ups, the undisputed lord of the load. So pay homage to the king, for when it comes to the pick-up crown there is simply no contest.

Equally true to the spirit of the 4x4 is the Nissan Navara. As Europe’s best-selling pick-up, the Navara has the strength and power to take you – and your cargo – wherever you want to go in complete comfort.

With muscle other pick-ups can only dream about, the Navara’s awesome 2.5 litre diesel engine makes it the most powerful vehicle in its class.

Its high-tensile steel chassis gives it incredible durability which, when combined with the pioneering C-Channel Load-Anchorage System, means it can take on heavy loads (as big as 1,050kg) – and take them anywhere.

Looking for a 4x4 that gives you the performance you need and the comfort you want? You’ll have to go a long way to find anything that comes close to the Navara.
