Hi...looking for a couple of Pick Ups for work and wondered what the general thoughts are the best ones. I've had an old style Navara (53 plate from new)....and it was very reliable over 110k. I like the new Ranger and thats top of my list, but what are everyones views?

We've got a couple of VW Amarok's at work and they seem to be very good indeed.

Cracking spec on the highline model too - 8 speed auto, heater leather seats, bluetooth stereo, decent nav system.

Hardly agricultural and a very nice place to be tbf.

To do what with?

Land Rover 110 is still a good work truck, easy to repair, robust and will hold it's money way better. So as an 'asset' it's overall cost may well be lower.


US pickup trucks are also worth considering, usually much higher spec than Euro ones and again retain value much better.
