New, debatable. The new Nissan Navara has the most comfortable (coil) rear suspension. The Ford Ranger is very good. My personal choice is the Isuzu D-Max because I've bought a few of the previous model and like the I-TEQ engine and gearbox. Avoid automatics on all pick-ups. Slurry, slow and horrible. Report of new HiLux lifting wheels on the Scandinavian Elk avoidance test. New L200 will be strong underneath.
