Basic 4x4 pick ups.

[OTEP]

Nissan has the Navara Brute:
*dual air bags
*power windows and locks
*no lsd
*no abs
*alloy wheels

Mitsubishi has the Strada GLX 4x4:
*dual airbags
*power windows and locks
*abs with ebd
*lsd
*steel rims

Isuzu has the Dmax LT:
*no airbags
*no power windows and locks
*lsd
*no abs
*steel rims with hubcap
*isuzu nameplate

And then there are the China trucks in the same or even lower price range like the JMC Compadre, Foton Thunder, Great Wall Wingle.

Just wondering which would be a good, basic work truck for mixed on road and off road use including recreational weekend use.

Toyota does not sell a workhorse version of the Hilux locally.

From the specs, mas ok strada with the LSD.

I'd rather get anything from the 2nd hand market than buying brand new bare. just my thoughts though. For Capability alone, i'll go home with the DMax

I think the company would fare better with a brand new truck. And we dont need the additional bells and whistles of the top line models. . Just something that starts with one crank and can respond to calls. On and off road and during bad weather,

What about the Ranger XL 4x4 instead? Higher flood-fording capability. Added bonuses include the bigger space and better looks

Whats the srp on the ranger? Thanks for the reminder. Hehe. Is this a basic model also?

Is the xl also equipped with LSD? Brochure says it has one airbag and abs.

[jut703]

Actually bro it's 1.179M
Not too far from the Brute (1.125M), Dmax (1.146M) and Strada (1.070M).

It's a pretty basic unit, but it's not spartan.
- ABS, EBD, driver's airbag
- 16" alloys
- USB/aux/iPod connectivity
- No LSD though

I actually prefer the colors and trim of the 4x4 XL than the XLT. Comes with a blacked out grille, side mirrors and door handles. I only opted for the XLT cuz of the more powerful engine and better interior amenities. But the XL in dark grey looks gorgeous.

Then again, for harabas use, the tried and tested DMax with its powerful and trusty 4JJ1 engine might be better.
