Evening. I am considering changing my 2015 Defender 110 utility wagon for a double cab pickup. I have had several Hilux’s over the years and been pleased with them. However as this will mostly be used as a car I quite fancy something with coil springs all round.
I think the Nissan Navarra and Mercedes X Class are coilover at the back, but are any of the others? Thanks.

Done a bit of googling, it seems the Ford Ranger Raptor is coil sprung. Sounds like a decent vehicle from the reviews, but it can’t tow 3.5T and the ‘image’ is err, um… a little loud?
Considering a Landcruiser commercial too. Is there anything else that should be considered?

The navara and Mercedes are. I owned a navara for a couple of years and it s a bit better than the leaf sprung trucks but it s not massively better.
The leaf sprung amarok rides better than the Navara in my experience.

At the end of the day anything you can put a tonne in the back of needs fairly firm suspension.
A large 4x4 will ride better than any of them.
