2023 4WD UTE COMPARISON - Top Pickups tested Off-road - Shock winner!

TIME TO HAVE YOUR SAY! Which of these would you own & why? Tell us in the comments below!

Shame a Triton isn't in this lineup, but with a new model coming, probably worth waiting to see what the next model has to offer.

Amarok - 75 Wildtrak - 71 Cannon - 67 Navara - 69 D-Max - 72 BT-50 - 72 HiLux - 74 Total Scores if anyone was wondering 1:00:33

Guys, I so value this proper testing of utes and wagons every year. I feel this is the most in-depth and knowledgeable test done yearly. Thanks.

Gonna be really interesting a a couple years with the GWM getting the V6 hybrid, new Triton, new Kia and the new Mahindra world Ute looking like a promising entry level competitor.

Don't forget, the Amarok is essentially a reskinned Ranger - thats where the V6 and low range transfer come from. Not having the V6 version of the Ranger probobly let it down. Its a little bit weird to compare the Amarok engine to the Ranger, since the engine is actually provided by Ford.

Something to note about the dmax tailshaft is that the lower spec model actually has a steel tailshaft, which is fitting to their rugged work focused design. So if you really wanted to, steel tailshafts are available to swap into the higher spec models.

Owned my cannon 2 years now, loving it. Send her up plenty of mud hills. use it as my daily for work. Great work horse.

I have a Cannon base model and it has so far exceeded my expectations and is an absolute beast of a ute!!

Geez, Jock picking the hilux, go figure

Was just trying to find recent videos on this subject - how convenient to have it from you guys. Great video!

Love the video guys! I work for Hervey Bay 4x4 connected with a ssangyong dealership. One thing I’ve noticed is that the ssangyong musso is really coming into play as a great towing and off-road vehicle. With 3.5t towing capacity. Can get them in a SWB coil sprung or a LWB coil or leaf sprung. With accessories like bullbars suspension available. I’d love to see next years video with ssangyong musso included. Thanks again boys!

No mention on fuel economy, I’ve owned a late 2020 hilux as well as a new navara. The navara gets nearly 250-300 km’s more per tank. Both 80L tanks. Think it’s something worth mentioning. In saying that I do think my hilux was better to drive than the navara.

Go the Nav, great looking ute for it’s age even before the new face lift. Have a 2016 STX and have accumulated 235,000km so far on mine with a tune making 200hp, lifted on 35’s. Mix of wheeling every month and towing a 17ft Jayco. The tune really wakes up the motor and throttle response without requiring a throttle controller. In the time of ownership (from new) I have only had 2 rear main seal replacements and the infamous leaky hot pipe and intercooler pipes that required replacing. Went with after market alloy pipes that costed approx 2.5K in total, so to be certain they will never leak again. 1K for the rear main seal out of warranty. It’s been a really capable ute, comfortable and has never left me on the side of the road stranded. For the 3.5K I have spent in the 6 years of ownership to rectify the oil leaks, I would say it was worth it and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I would definitely own one again unless Aus Nissan brings the big cousin Titan over, then all hands on deck haha.

Great work as always gents 🤘 Would love to see a budget ute test too - Musso, LDV, base GWM, Mahindra Pik Up etc -

Can’t wait to watch this vid, but 2024 will be a cracker!! A new triton, new Hyundai, new navara, up against the relatively new ranger, amarok, hilux, dmax, and then whichever Chinese options. 👌🏼👌🏼 epic class and comparison in a year.

i could watch this type of information all day long. very professional and fun

Great review guys. I tend to agree with Jocko with his ton of experience offroading, tested reliability is paramount to getting to the end of a trail.

The comment made a few times in this presentation "good for 10 years ownership" was my guide to selecting a new ute, I studied the market closely for three years and just recently bought a new BT50 , no regrets whatsoever, really getting to know and appreciate it. Much quicker and smoother than I was expecting, I'm banking on ten or more years use in the country. Been driving 51 years now and hand on heart the BT50 is the most fuel efficient car I have ever owned and is brilliant for distance drives, effortless feel at cruise etc. Will be investing near two grand for the aftermarket steering knuckle kit that alters the geometry and removes the bump steer problem, apart from saving tyres I'm told the front end will sit more stable on the road. Thanks for the test, I really enjoyed watching.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this comparo.
