Consider Isuzu D-Max. It’s top speed is only 118 mph and is a five-speed automatic with lots of torque. This could work well for the family. The Mitsubishi Triton L200 is built to handle wet and slippery conditions. It has a top speed of 125 mph, and looks to be a great off-road contender as well. It has the appearance of a family vehicle. Ford Ranger, 2016, is a 4×4, six-speed manual truck that has a few interesting amenities. The driver has a rear-view camera and an attractive interior.
Finally, a pickup truck with a sliding cover to protect your belongings from the elements. Mazda BT-50 may have gotten it right on this one. If you’re on a construction site, simply plug in your power tools for recharge. The Toyota Hilux looks to have some serious off-road capabilities. All good, if you’re in the market for a new vehicle.
