totally agree with u..c0c0nut...the black hilux is cool...too bad they don't have the petrol version in malaysia. It seems their focus is on fuel economy and cheap road tax in malaysia hence the CRD diesel engine.
To spanker, they can't really bring in those from the US since they are left hand drive and with v6 & v8 engines, ur gonna have fork out lotsa $$$ and may cost up to a cool million for a pickup truck |

i've driven a storm and an hilux, both suck when compared to a range rover, if you're asking for best, the range rover is the best for both rough and smooth driving, dual high and low gears, 4600CC beast of an engine, main propeller shaft hand braking, smooth kick down, traction control, variable air suspension system, powerful brake pumps (though you have to grow used to it) , load compensation and great security system to boot (abit weird though, need to use key like combination lock to open it if it goes into superlock eg; right 7 times left 6....) trust me, a range rover will be the last 4x4 you'll buy, i drive it everyday and it has not failed me yet.

IMHO, the title is inappropriate. the king of 4x4 is none other thant the legendary RANGE ROVER (not Land Rover). with aluminium body to save weight, advanced differential axis, multi-link independent suspension, coupled with advanced slip control, and many more, ur limited choice of pickup trucks should not be titled as KING of 4x4. they should be titled KING OF PICKUPS...
anyway, i own a storm, since day 1 they were released in 2001 oso, if u like monstrous pickup truck, google dodge hemi truck. super big bed space, 5000cc turbocharged hemi engine |

anyway, just as a price reference, a range rover in malaysia is around rm 750,000.00 (that;s more expensive than BMW x-5, or porsche cheyenne)

I've drove many kind of 4X4(diesel turbo) cars before like hilux,Land cruiser(ninja),ford Ranger,Isuzu trooper/Isuzu Invader(Rodeo),mazda Fighter,Storm....and i think Toyota Land Cruiser(NinJa) is still the king for both comfort and Power.The newer version on Land Cruiser(known as Ninja King in Sabah) also nice and powerful but too expensive. For 4X4 pickup i will go for the new Hilux(1KD engine) damn cun car......If u guys wanna see 4X4(diesel) cars just come to SABAH almost every hse also got.

Ninja King = luxury comfort 4x4... not 100% pure off road machine. cannot submerge in water
Range Rover = ultra off road machine + luxury (leather wraps everythng, sophisticated tis and that) NInja King cost rm 300,000 for a recon from japan. one thing sux is that it doesn't use any sophisticated suspension systme. just plain straight axle, plus 4 coil spring over absorbers. anyway, land cruiser = ninja king = lexus cygnus |
