I have my own (insert any ute other than a Toyota) and private land access. Always have heaps of spare .270 ammo. We can crack a can of Waikato at the end of our successful hunts together.


Fukn Yoo!!! Hoooo! ��

I have often wondered about that Brad's.

The Jan 2016 Australian 4WD magazine has tested the new 2016 Hilux against all dual cab competition and has it as number one I see. Betterer😆

Second mag I have seen the last couple days picking the new hilux as cream of the crop😆
Reviews prior to its release were shit and they have had a big turn around after.
Ranger was second. But all I can remember.
Opinion is the new lux is a huge improvement on the current one in many areas.
Can't wait to see one up close.
Thinking I may have one parked up my drive pretty soon😆

Ranger had slightly better ground clearance but once they found out @kiwijames drove one it was buggered😆

You lost me at reading Australian 4WD magazine. I didn't know they did a Little Golden Book picture book special

according to the spec sheets ranger has 50mm less ground clearance but 100mm more wading depth for all those times we drive our brand new utes up to the windows in water

For a comprehensive of review of all the current ones:

Ute comparison: Ford Ranger v Holden Colorado v Isuzu D-Max v Mazda BT-50 v Mitsubishi Triton v Nissan Navara v Toyota HiLux v Volkswagen Amarok

Can I be reading that correctly? Ranger is the shizz.

BTW, the NZ-spec XLT Ranger is better than the Aussie spec, eg has sat nav as std

Using the Hunting mag logic, that would mean nothing more than Toyota pays for more advertising than the others.

No way? Talking to Aussies I work with, that mag is legit!!!!
They would never bow to advertising pressure😆

The issue with the rangers ride height is it's wheel base is 13cm longer than the hilux, which means going over humps etc the angles are all screwed and therefor bottoms out easier. Also the attack angles on his new truck is a lot better. drove ranger and hilux back to back the other day, hilux had it in power, handling, build quality and off road ability. and yes i do work for toyota
