Which pick-up is currently the best, taking into account their different specifications?
Volkswagen Amarok, Nissan Navara, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux or Isuzu D-Max. Which car is the best according to price and performance? Please give me advice for buying one of these trucks. I am very confused for the criteria on these vehicles because they have different price options and different attributes.

The Ranger is currently the best pick-up. The 150PS 2.2 chain cam diesel is really all you need. But for serious towing, serious off-roading, or long distance driving, go for the 200PS 3.2. Second best, the new Isuzu D-Max for its amiable engines and transmission. The 2.0-litre belt cam engine in the Amarok is just not enough for a serious pick-up.
