DUAL CAB DUEL<br />
The five most<br />
popular high-end<br />
dual cab utes<br />
in Australia are<br />
put through their<br />
paces<br />
Welcome to a clash of the titans – the<br />
five most popular utes on the market<br />
today! In 2020, five models of ute<br />
– the Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi<br />
Triton, Nissan Navara and Toyota HiLux –<br />
accounted for 13 per cent of the overall new<br />
car market.<br />
And that’s just the 4x4 versions. Add the less<br />
popular 4x2 variants and they account for<br />
15.8% of the market; this means that one in<br />
six new cars sold in Australia is one of these<br />
five models.<br />
So, we have put each one to the test,<br />
including straight-line performance,<br />
load-carrying and towing capability, on- and<br />
off-road dynamics, infotainment and comfort<br />
