hilux or Dmax?

All things being equal, which would you choose and why? Reviews and reliability point towards the Dmax.

I wouldn't want anything with a Renault engine

What has been your thinking to whittle it down to those two?

I like the fairly discreet looks, reliability, warranty(d max).

I wouldn't want a land rover. Nothing but trouble, body corrosion, engine issues, rubbish on the motorway.

The hilux and dmax do hold money well without so many of the above issues.

For what use?

Personally Land Rover. Better off road and much higher resale value. Either that or look at a US spec truck.

10000 motorway miles
3000 countryside miles including occasional towing a heavy load and carrying heavy stuff
Family use.

I have had lots of use of them. I might have just been unlucky. I'm not sure the Defender carries the same 'tax perks' with a capacity of over a tonne etc?

ETA, they're used by the military as they're British and cheap to make, we should have had G-wagons but it wasn't 'British'. I do like them though.
