Hi everyone.

I'm planning to get my very first 4x4 pickup truck. Thing is I have no idea which one to get.

I know the famous ones are

1. Ford Ranger
2. Toyota Hilux
3. Isuzu Dmax
4. Nissan Navara
5. Mitsubishi Triton

Anyone here own any 4x4 truck or used to owned one? What brand and model did you buy and why? Do you actually buy for workhorse or for show...

I'm leaning towards Ford Ranger and maybe the raptor too but how does it perform in real life? Is it good or bad?

Heard it is the number one in Malaysia I'm not sure why is that..

Any other alternative than Ford Ranger that you can suggest I'm open to your feedback as I said I never own any pickup in my life before this. So any points helps guys. Thanks!

I drive the latest DMax 1.9 3rd gen. Very happy with it. Here's my opinion from East Malaysia perspective:

1. Ford Ranger - perfect for urban cowboy. The most expensive to maintain among the list. Quite manja.

2. Toyota Hilux - Super reliable as workhorse and for family. Will never disappoint you. Chesp maintenance.

3. Isuzu Dmax - Hey, it's Isuzu. They only make diesel trucks. Very reliable. Second to hilux. Cheap maintenance.

4. Nissan Navara - passenger friendly. Not suitable for heavy duty tasks but perfect to use in city. Maintenance is on the higher side.

5. Mitsubishi Triton - fall between workhorse and lifestyle. Popular choice among off-roader but not as reliable as hilux and dmax. Heard quite expensive to maintain too.

In bottom line:
Dmax & hilux for reliability.
Triton, ford, navara for city use.
