Best Utes according to our experts

01.
Nissan Navara
From
$32,300
8/10
From
$32,300

Nissan Australia scored a hit with its locally enhanced Navara Warrior PRO‑4X. Now it's offering a more affordable version that keeps all the hardcore stuff and trims away some of the fancy bits around the edges ‑ the Navara SL Warrior.


02.
Mitsubishi Triton
From
$30,740
8/10
From
$30,740

Larger, stronger, roomier, safer and more comfortable, the sixth‑gen Triton for 2024 elevates Mitsubishi's mid‑size ute to fresh heights for the brand. And while its lack of V6 diesel and/or hybrid availability is disappointing, the all‑new chassis's Australian‑specific tune is a big step forward. We won't know how it behaves on‑road, but a stint off‑road shows how far this ute has come.


03.
Toyota HiLux
From
$26,475
8/10
From
$26,475

Toyota's GR (Gazoo Racing) performance brand is spreading across the Japanese giant's line‑up. Even the HiLux ute is getting in the act with a GR Sport variant designed to take the fight up to Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor. But what's it like as a work truck?


04.
Foton Tunland
From
$13,999
7.4/10
From
$13,999

Foton is planning a bright light‑commercial future in Australia, with the 2018 Tunland dual cab leading the charge. Here's why you shouldn't write it off as another cheap Chinese ute.


05.
Mahindra Pik-Up
From
$26,990
7/10
From
$26,990

Mahindra's evergreen Pik‑Up dual cab ute is a tough, budget‑friendly workhorse, particularly popular in rural areas. And now for the first time since its arrival back in 2007 it's available with an auto transmission. Is it a better bet than a Ford Ranger or Toyota HiLux?
