Just back from Western Australia where I ran into one of the fleet managers for Rio Tinto at Tom Price. RT have two iron ore mines close to there and run a fleet of over 2,000 4x4 utes.
He was an interesting man to talk to.
In summary he said that if you are buying a ute for private use, any of the major brands should be OK providing you drive and maintain it to the manufacturers specs.
However if you are running fleet vehicles with multiple drivers in challenging conditions with minimum care then Toyotas are the best choice.
In his opinion Toyota is the best vehicle manufacturer in the world.
