The Ford Ranger has long been the lifestyle pickup truck of choice, but this Next-Generation model takes the cake. It appears that Ford has doubled down on its thrust with the Ranger. Pickup trucks have evolved into so much more than just pure workhorses, and the Ranger is evidence for that claim. We got to test out the Ranger in its 4x4 Wildtrak trim. The unit came to us fully loaded and ready to go so we did exactly that, took it out, and went. The more time we spent with the Ranger, the more its lifestyle orientation showed. This is not totally a workhorse of a truck since it feels a lot plusher, but that doesn’t stop it from being able to accomplish almost anything you throw at it, at least in our experience. Read on to find out more about what made our experience with the Ranger and what didn’t. 2023 Ford Ranger Bi-Turbo Wildtrak 4x4 Review Performance Engine Output HP, Acceleration, Transmission, Handling Design Exterior & Interior Design, Quality, Fit and Finish, Ergonomics Ride Comfort Cabin Comfort, Suspension, NVH Insulation Safety and Technology Convenience Technologies, Active and Passive Safety Features Value for Money Amount of the vehicle you get for the price, Fuel Efficiency What You Will Like One of the best-looking infotainment systems in its class Smoother engine performance compared to its predecessor Comprehensive tech and safety package What You Won't Like Cornering performance is not confidence inspiring Gear selector wasn't as premium as we'd hoped Gauge cluster is a little cartoonish How We Do Our Reviews Exterior There’s much to love about the Ranger’s new design. If you like the F-150, and we think that you do, then the Ranger’s design will be appealing to you. The big and burly look of the F-150 translates well on the midsize Ranger. The LED lights are gorgeous, and they also illuminate the road really well. The output is also matched by the level of innovation that Ford has put in because, on top of being some of the brightest beams in the business, the light fixtures also turn when you turn, allowing for unprecedented levels of visibility at night and on twisty roads. These are some of the best lights that we’ve tested so far, and Ford did well to put them on the Wildtrak. Other than that, it’s a standard pickup truck. Apart from the front, the rear is rather similar to what we’re used to there’s only so much that you can do with the rear bed of a truck. The assisted tailgate got us, and the fact that the model comes with a bed liner is just icing on the cake. Overall, the Ranger is in the best shape that it has ever been, and we love what Ford has done, especially for this top-of-the-line trim. Even in a monotone color, the Ranger looks serious and ready to get down to business. There’s also a certain sense of authority that the pickup projects, more so than the Ranger’s Japanese rivals. Interior Looks can be subjective, but if you’re not quite sold on the exterior design, perhaps the interior will change your mind. The design of the dashboard is very utilitarian and well-laid out. The F-150 inspiration continues through, with the dashboard appearing mostly flat and angular. There are no swoopy lines here, just hard corners that look right on a pickup truck. However, there are a few nitpicks that we have, which are with regard to the plastic quality and the placement of some elements on the dashboard. Prior to the Ranger, Ford put emphasis on the push-start system by making sure that it gets its own spot on the dashboard, however, the current placement of the switch in the cabin looks like a little bit of an afterthought. Unfortunately, the push-start is located by the steering wheel, the usual place where you’d find a key barrel, which makes it feel slightly less special. For that one low light, however, the rest is mostly highlights. We can note that the interior plastics and panels have a very Ford quality about them. They’re not absolutely solid like that of a premium vehicle, but they hold up well and most of the touchpoints are backed by some very plush upholstery that comes with ample padding. We also like the placement of the door latches since it will only take one motion to get the door to open on you. However, the shifter still retains the plasticky feel that its predecessors had, which is to say, not so great. We wish that Ford would revise this part in keeping with the premium feel of the rest of the interior. Even the gear selector button feels unintuitive to use, but we barely touched it anyway. Other than that, passenger space is adequate, but slightly above average for the midsize pickup segment. The Ranger is bigger than most pickup trucks, while its cabin space can accommodate taller passengers with ease. The rear seats are sat quite upright, but what can you expect given that it has a bed at the back? Aside from that, the power-adjustable driver seat and the tilting and telescoping steering wheel are also appreciable items, as are the cushy yet supportive seats. The buttons are also decent to press with soft, but not too soft, feedback which adds yet another premium touch to the cabin. Comfort Whether you’re sitting or driving, the Ranger is surprisingly comfy for a pickup truck. We’d pin it as one of the most comfortable trucks out there, but the plushness has a few drawbacks, though more on that later in the driving section of this review. No matter how you cut it, the Ranger is one of the best pickups in terms of comfort. Whether you’re going on the highway and up against a lot of wind and road noise, the Ranger performs admirably. If you’re going over bumps the Ranger will do well, but please do not expect crossover-like comfort, if you closed your eyes while rolling on a smooth road, it’s possible you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, probably. Technology Until now, the technology package in the Ford Ranger remains one of the highlights of the model. One of the very best tech packs in pickups gets a whole lot better now thanks to some choice inclusions and a few other ones that really make this model a joy to use on the daily or on vacation, whatever you prefer. I see that most of the features are useful for pretty much everyone, and Ford hasn’t packed in too much that would overwhelm most consumers, and we feel that the implementation of each is intuitive enough for most people to grasp. Things like the 360-degree monitor that was a huge help while we tried to get this pickup truck to fit in a parking slot. The addition of a huge infotainment screen was also a big bonus since we no longer had to squint at the screen to get a clearer view of the camera footage. The portrait orientation of the screen was also a game-changer in terms of usability, and we get why Ford chose this orientation for the model moving forward. Meanwhile, Wireless CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto were great features that we simply could not-not use. To add to that, you can wirelessly charge your phone, so you don’t have to worry about any cables or wires to bring on your journey. While we don’t like having the air conditioning controls on the infotainment screen, we don’t mind it here as it’s always displayed and it doesn’t get in the way of the infotainment section of the head unit. This is hands-down, one of the best infotainment experiences we’ve had so far, but it’s not without its cons. There were times when the infotainment system would crash, and we think that this is due to the fact that the system is relatively new for Ford. Down the line, we’re sure that Ford will update SYNC4, and give it more stability while in use. Safety On the safety front, the Ford Ranger is one of the safest trucks out there in preventing accidents and keeping occupants safe while maintaining a level of convenience in the way of its adaptive cruise control functions and its forward collision warning system, and automatic emergency braking. Ford’s Advanced Driver Assist Technology includes all of the stuff mentioned prior with stop-and-go, lane-centering, pedestrian detection, auto high beam, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert and braking, reverse brake assist, and an evasive steering assist. On top of that, you also get the full suite of airbags plus a knee airbag totaling seven, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchor points, hill launch assist, roll-over mitigation, an electronic stability program, a traction control system, parking sensors, an electronic parking brake, and an electric brake booster. Overall, it’s everything that you need and more. What more can you ask for? Giving context, we feel that Ford has one of the better executions when it comes to its safety kit. The sensitivity of these systems is dialed in just right, and they don’t get in the way of your driving. Driving Speaking of driving, the Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 gets what appears to be the same Bi-Turbo motor mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, but it feels as if Ford has done some refinement work to the powertrain, resulting in a drive that is much smoother than we had anticipated. Putting your foot down in the Ranger feels a lot less clunky than before, and the engine has a very smooth pull from idle to redline. The Ranger feels a lot less truck-like when it comes to its engine. Then we get to the suspension, which is actually something that is a double-edged sword when driving spiritedly. Under normal driving, the suspension is pliant, the steering is light but not too light because the rack returns more feel than before which is hypothetically good in terms of handling. While the model rides comfortably and close to that of a crossover, it doesn’t handle too well, even as a pickup truck. The brakes are good, and they’re good enough to activate the ABS system consistently on the car even under slightly heavier braking conditions. The stock tires are to blame here, at least in our opinion. Ford could have gone with a better tire model, but perhaps the comfort of the Ranger might take a hit if you decide to change to a grippier tire. All-in-all, the Ranger is a very easy-going pickup truck that’s great to push in a straight line, but not all out on mountain roads. One has to remember that this truck is a safe and plush pickup. Handling is usually a give and take, and skewing heavily into comfort might have taken away a bit of handling sharpness. However, that’s not to say that the Ranger is a bad-handling automobile, not at all. In fact, for most people, it will be one of the best, if not the best, riding and driving midsize pickup trucks they’ve ever tried, and there is nothing wrong with that, in fact, it’s in keeping with the Ranger’s positioning in the market as a lifestyle pickup truck, but nothing too hardcore by the feel of it. Fuel economy For fuel economy, we were able to get a real-world figure of about 9 km/L in mixed city conditions which means light and heavy traffic. Meanwhile, the highway figure that we managed to get was around the km/L mark, accelerating and decelerating with some slowdowns. Overall, it’s a decent fuel economy score for the Ranger. Nothing too great, and nothing too appalling. We have no complaints here, but you do get the most powerful pickup in its class with 210 hp and 500 Nm of torque, so that’s something to consider as well. Verdict Quite frankly, we were a bit perplexed about the Ranger and its somewhat unsure handling. We know that there are different lifestyles to choose from, but apparently, the Ranger would like you to take things easy more or less. It can still go with a passion when you tell it to, after all, it is the most powerful pickup currently in the market, and now with a smoother engine, it’s one heck of a drive on the highway and off the line. The model is worth a long and hard look. “Long” because there are a ton of features that’ll take a lot of time to unpack, and “hard” because there is no going around the fact that the price of P1,910,000 is a bit steep. Given that it is, however, and comparing it to its rivals, it’s a relative steal, being a rather middle-priced option in the market in the realm of high-end pickups. In short, it’s a great truck to get and something that breaks away from the normal Japanese fare. Judging from the number of sales that the model has been enjoying lately, it appears that Ford has hit the nail on the head. With the number of owners continuing to clamor for the model, perhaps it would be wise to put in your order now at your local dealer. We think there are quirks to this model, but if you’ve reached the end of this review, it’s likely that you’ve already decided and are looking for a reason to get this truck. In our opinion, if you really want it, we don’t think it’s a bad choice. Exterior Photo Gallery Interior Photo Gallery Urban Cowboy If you ever want to start an argument at your next social gathering, you only need to begin a conversation about one of three things. Politics, your chosen sports team or merely mention which double-cab you think is best. I can't be 100% sure about the first two as I usually excuse myself before things get heated. When it comes to the third though, I usually grab a bowl of chips and watch the carnage unfold. The Hilux vs. Ranger debate has been going on for as long as these vehicles have been rolling around our countryside and shows no signs of abating. Related First Drive Impression Ford unveils revised Ranger – now with Bi-Turbo technology I have now tested Fords big three, that being the bonkers Raptor, on a very long road trip, the Everest, through the outback of Botswana and now the latest Wildtrak Ranger, all with the new engine and drivetrain setup and I can convincingly say that Ford firmly has a grip on what South Africans want, Now before you call my masculinity into question or relegate me to supporting a certain rugby team, allow me to explain. Styling The Wildtrak sits in something of a grey area, styling wise. It has forgone the American barn door styling and workhorse aesthetic of other bakkies and delivers an SUV likes appearance when viewed head-on. Small, HID headlights with LED daytime running and fog lights and a body-coloured grille complete its countenance. Draped in Sea Gray metallic paintwork, this Wildtrak has a slightly subdued appearance over the brighter orange painted versions and somehow this makes it even better. The contoured and covered roll over bar as well as the addition of a tonneau cover and a tow-bar round out the rear of the package. The Wildtrak bridges the gap between city fashion accessory and capable off-road machine rather nicely it looks to be at home in the poshest of neighbourhoods or the mud of a cattle farm. The Drive This is where Ford has done the most work. Most double cabs on the market all suffer from the same malady, the dreaded double cab bounce. Due to the open load bay, the rear ends tend to develop a bounce that ruins a Sunday drive, the Ranger though seems to be completely devoid of this, managing to drive just like its Everest brethren, even on a challenging off-road course. The suspension soaks up unevenness on rocky trails and delivers the smoothest of rides while on tar. The engine power is delivered seamlessly and the transmission shifts are barely even noticeable, the Wildtrak is nothing but a pleasure to drive. Performance The Ranger Wildtrak is powered by a litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. An interesting aside is the relative silence that this engine operates at, the normal clatter of diesel is missing. The combination is good for 157 kW / 500 Nm. As mentioned previously the on-road manners are quite refined but it is the off-road prowess that makes sit even better. With 800 mm water wading and a 237 mm ride height as well as class-leading approach, departure and break-over angles, the Wildtrak makes even the most intimidating off-road adventure seem like a cakewalk. Space and Comfort At long, the Wildtrak may find difficulty fitting in a standard-sized suburban garage but the load bay is not the cause of that. With a width of m and a m height, the cab becomes a very roomy place, there is more than enough space for 5 adults and their gear. The seats are covered in a textured cloth and leather with the Wildtrak logo and stitching in bright orange, When it comes to tech, the Wildtrak is bristling with the latest from Ford. Centre stage in the dashboard is Ford's Sync 3 8" infotainment screen loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the centre console is fitted with 2x USB outlets, 3x 12v sockets, a 230v inverter outlet and the environmental controls. The Wildtrak is also fitted with a few more conveniences in the form of keyless entry, City Park Steering and auto-lighting that just makes life that much sweeter. Safety Despite the Ranger Wildtrak being a double-cab bakkie, it is equipped like a luxury SUV. Another area in which this Ranger excels is safety, the Wildtrak is loaded with ABS Anti Lock Braking, EBA Electronic Braking Assistance, TSC Traction and Stability Control, Hill-start and Hill-descent control. You also get Lane Departure Warning, BSM Blind Spot Monitoring, a tyre pressure monitoring system, front and rear PDC Park Distance Control, a rearview camera, 7 airbags and ISOfix in the rear for the little ones. Fuel Consumption Unlike my time with the Raptor that saw uneven fuel consumption figures, The Ranger Wildtrak delivers as advertised. Ford claimed l/100 and was almost spot on, hovering between and l/100km. I saw very similar numbers traversing the wilds of Botswana in the Everest. Price The Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-turbo 10AT 4x4 is currently retailing for R 753 600 and comes with Ford's 4-year/120 000 km warranty and a 6-year/90 000km service plan. Verdict In my humble opinion, the Ranger Wildtrak offering is now head and shoulders above its closest rivals. While I duck the expletives that will undoubtedly be thrown my way shortly I will say this, although Hilux and Ranger are top of the pops now, the other manufacturers are fast catching up with models such as the Isuzu D-Max and the new Mazda BT50 putting in a strong showing. I am going to leave the Amarok out of this for now due to its engine size, high price and the oval badges involvement with VW to build Amarok's going forward and let's not even talk about the Navara / X-Class debacle. As things currently stand, Ford has what Saffa's want in a complete package and I will gladly have one in my garage. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to grab my bowl of chips and go and watch the comments section. *Pricing correct at time of publishing and subject to change without notice. Recommended next Ford Ranger Single-Turbo Double-Cab XLT 10AT 4x4 XLT 2020 Review How to replace a headlight bulb on a Ford Ranger We compared Ford Ranger engines, and the efficiency crown goes to… There’s a lot to be said for constant refinement. The current Ford Ranger was launched in 2011 alongside its platform partner, the Mazda BT-50, with much fanfare. The world has changed a lot in the intervening nine years. Barack Obama was President when the new Ranger was launched, Julia Gillard was Prime Minster, Sam Newman was still on television, and the Holden Commodore was still being built in Australia. But nine years, countless updates, and a global pandemic into its life – and at least three years from replacement – the ageless Ranger remains a standout in Australia’s crowded dual-cab ute market. It’s the only ute capable of giving the Toyota HiLux a run for its money on the sales charts, and accounts for the lion’s share of Ford sales in Australia. We hopped behind the wheel of the highly-specced dual-cab Wildtrak to explore how the Ranger has stayed relevant. How much does the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo cost? Pricing for the range-topping Ford Ranger Wildtrak kicks off at $63,890 before on-road costs with a five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, and stretches to $65,390 before on-roads for the more powerful bi-turbo diesel on test here. The same engine can be had for $60,540 before on-roads in the dual-cab Ranger XLT if Bi-Turbo power is your main priority. With a mid-$60,000 price, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak occupies rarefied air in the dual-cab ute space. It’s priced in line with the Nissan Navara N-Trek Warrior, and makes the Ranger around $3000 more expensive than the Toyota HiLux Rogue and Rugged X. Between $60,000 and $70,000 will get you a Volkswagen Amarok TDI580 Highline Black with V6 power, too. What do you get? Everything in the Ford kit bag, short of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s jump-ready suspension and other Raptor-specific equipment. The Wildtrak is fully loaded both inside and out. The driver and passenger sit in heated seats trimmed in leather and tough-looking cloth with Wildtrak emblems sewn into their backrests, and the driver grasps a leather-trimmed steering wheel. There’s dual-zone climate control, and an infotainment touchscreen running Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment software with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has factory satellite navigation, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, as well as a reversing camera with parking sensors. The driver is faced with an analogue rev counter flanked by two supplementary displays capable of displaying speed and fuel information on the right-hand side, and infotainment details on the left. Ford led the charge with active safety in dual-cab utes. Autonomous emergency braking, auto high-beam, and lane-keeping assist are standard, along with adaptive cruise control and surprisingly effective hands-free parking. On the outside, it rides on 18-inch alloy wheels, and features glossy grey detailing on the grille, flanks, sports bar, and Wildtrak graphics. This is still one of the most handsome utes on the market, with an American-inspired front end. Down back, there’s a powered roll top cover for the tray, which sounds extravagant but is handy in practice. Not only is it more space-efficient than older Mountain Top covers, it can be remotely opened using the key. The tailgate is also counterweighted, which makes it light enough to open with a pinky. You’re unlikely to notice if you’re a big, burly he-man how most Ranger owners see themselves, but it’s nice to have if your cannons are more popgun than Popeye how most Ranger owners actually are. It’s one of many small improvements Ford has made to the Ranger over its life, helping keep it fresh in the face of stiff competition. Is the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo safe? The Ford Ranger has a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on testing out in 2015. It scored out of a possible 37 points. You can read more about the crash test rating at the ANCAP website. There’s six airbags including full-length curtain airbags, something the Volkswagen Amarok can’t match. The Ranger has also since been updated with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. What is the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo like on the inside? The Ford Ranger might be getting long in the tooth, but the interior remains one of the most comfortable and functional in the business. The steering wheel doesn’t adjust for reach, but the driving position is excellent. The seats are supportive, and offer a commanding driving position over the Ranger’s power-bulged bonnet, along with heating for Melbourne’s frosty winter mornings. There’s plenty of storage and three USB ports up front, while rear seat space is on par when compared to the Ranger’s dual-cab ute rivals. That means you’ll fit average-sized people back there, but headroom is limited for taller passengers. It’s arguably a better place to be than the skinny Triton and slightly agricultural HiLux, thanks not only to the space on offer but touches such the foldaway grab handles, which won’t batter your head over rough roads. Unfortunately, there are no rear air vents. The power point and 12V socket are nice, but we’d argue the kids are more likely to appreciate cooling air on a hot summer’s day, or USB ports to charge their devices. Ford has a jump on its competitors on the technology front. The Sync 3 infotainment system packs satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and is streets ahead of the basic system in the Toyota HiLux. It’s also got the Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara licked on the technology front. Ford’s native voice control is among the best in the business, and the addition of over-the-air software updates means your infotainment system can gain skills over its life. The instrument binnacle is a paragon of clarity, with an easy to read speedometer flanked by two displays. The left-hand side can show phone, entertainment, or navigation data, while the right shows trip data, including a digital speedo. Ford’s reversing camera is one of the clearest out there, too, and includes a zoom function for attaching a trailer. Although it’s a high-end model, the Wildtrak still possesses plenty of hard plastics. That wouldn’t be ideal in a passenger car, but it’s worth keeping in mind the people who still use their utes for work. Being able to bash around in steel-cap boots on dusty work sites is still high on the priority list, and the Ranger feels tightly screwed together. What’s under the bonnet? There’s no replacement for displacement, right? Wrong, in the case of the Ranger Wildtrak. Although it’s still offered with a five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, the range-topper is a four-cylinder bi-turbo diesel making 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque – up 10kW and 30Nm on the five-pot. There’s no manual option. The Bi-Turbo Ford Ranger Wildtrak is instead exclusively offered with a 10-speed automatic co-developed with General Motors. That’s right, this is a burly ute with a milk bottle-sized motor and new-fangled transmission born of a partnership between bitter American rivals. We live in strange times. Braked towing capacity is 3500kg, and payload is 954kg, so it’s just as capable as the bigger engine if you’re into hauling things around. Ford claims on the combined cycle, we saw in a week heavily skewed to city driving. How does the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo drive? The Ford Ranger Wildtrak is among the most car-like dual-cab utes on the market to drive. It starts with the engine, which is smoother, quieter, and punchier than the five-cylinder it has usurped atop the line-up. You’re always aware it’s a turbo-diesel engine, with a decent background clatter on a cold startup, but there’s far less of it than in the five-cylinder. Ford has clearly made an effort to make the Ranger feel grown up. The engine registers barely a murmur under light throttle, and noise from the tyres, mirrors, and motor is hard to spot at highway speeds compared to its rivals. Despite its small displacement, the Bi-Turbo engine doesn’t feel underdone compared to the larger engines offered elsewhere in dual-cab world. Its outputs should tell you as much, as should the payload and towing figures. Critical to the engine’s impressive behaviour is the smartly-tuned 10-speed automatic, which manages to keep you in the meat of the torque band essentially all the time without feeling fussy, or like it’s lost in the huge spread of ratios on offer. More often than not it’s hard to tell which gear you’re in, but it doesn’t matter because there’s always performance when you lean on the throttle, from standstill to highway speeds. Hands-on off-roaders can manually change gears using a rocker switch on the side of the gear selector, but it’s a poor substitute for paddles or a sequential-style shift. Best to leave the transmission to its own devices. Like its dual-cab rivals, the Ranger Wildtrak can be a bit jiggly with no load in the tray. Although their equipment levels and prices extend well into family SUV territory, these utes are commercial vehicles at heart. Leaf springs designed to handle almost a tonne of load can only be so refined. With that said, the ride in the Ranger is very good for a dual-cab with nothing in the tray. Ford’s local tuning has clearly paid dividends, because it’s settled at highway speeds and doesn’t skip over small inner-city imperfections. The steering is light at city speeds, hiding the dual-cab Ranger’s heft and making it one of the easier utes to park. And if you aren’t a confident parker, there’s hands-free park assist capable of automatically steering you into a parallel spot provided you can control the pedals. Light and easy Electric power steering The Ford Ranger Wildtrak is easy to drive in the city, with light steering and a tall driving position It worked in our experience, and having chunky all-terrain tyres means the computer getting it wrong won’t result in scraped wheels. Who said dual-cab utes don’t make good city cars? With an 800mm wading depth and 237mm of ground clearance, switchable four-wheel drive with low-range, and a locking rear differential, there are the bones of a very capable off-roader in the Ranger. It comfortably dispatches fire trails, and will get you to the tricky camping spots without too much struggle. Four-wheel drive engages quickly and smoothly, and previous experience has shown Ford’s traction control is well tuned for gravel. How much does the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo cost to run? Maintenance for the Ranger is required every 12 months or 15,000km – whichever comes first. In addition to its five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, Ford offers capped-price servicing for the Ranger. The first four services will cost no more than $299 while the fifth service will cost $365. CarExpert’s take on the Ford Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo There’s a reason the Ford Ranger is one of the best-selling cars in Australia. It’s excellent. The Wildtrak is one of the most expensive diesel dual-cab utes on the market, but it can justify the price with a comfortable interior, excellent road manners, and a modern, refined powertrain. It’s also capable off-road, although Toyota HiLux fans will no doubt argue their unbreakable’ trucks can go further when the going gets tough. Whether you opt for the engine or the will come down to preference. There’s nothing wrong with the older five-cylinder, and some will no doubt like the fact it’s a tried-and-tested option. But if it’s refinement you want, the Bi-Turbo is hard to beat. It’s where my money would be going. As for how it stacks up against its newer rivals? The new D-Max and BT-50 are unknown quantities at this point, so it’s tough to know. Likewise the updated Toyota HiLux, which promises to ride better and pack more technology than its predecessor.
