Top 10: Cheapest pick-ups to insure

2

Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCi 130 XL

Insurance group: 37E

The Ranger nameplate can trace its roots back to the mid-1960s, when it represented a jazzed-up version of Ford’s F-Series pick-up, but it’s been a model in its own right since 1983. Despite the all-American gas-guzzling image, it’s the second cheapest pick-up to insure in the UK, if you go for the 130PS 2.2 TDCi version in regular cab guise and XL trim.

Isuzu D-Max

Insurance group: 39A

A 2017 refresh saw the Isuzu D-Max get a new 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine, which improved its fuel economy and kept insurance costs within the bottom half of the pick-up market. Like the Ssangyong Musso, the D-Max gives buyers a wide choice of models in the lowest insurance bracket. Single and double cabs, rear or four-wheel drive versions, manuals or automatics and a variety of trim levels all fall into group 39A.

Volkswagen Amarok 3.0 TDI 204 Trendline/Highline

Insurance group: 41E

The Volkswagen Amarok is tied with the Mitsubishi L200 with a starting insurance group of 41E. However, you get a much more powerful 204PS 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine with the VW, as well as an automatic transmission, and the same group applies to both Trendline and Highline specifications. Volkswagen launched an entry-level 163PS Amarok with a manual gearbox in early 2018, which does not not have an official insurance group yet, though it is expected to have lower premiums.

Toyota Hilux 2.4 D4D 150 Invincible double cab

Insurance group: 41D

Known for its near invincibility, the Toyota Hilux is as tough a pick-up as they come. It has a huge load bay, a 3.5-tonne towing capacity and it’s great off road. The cheapest version to insure is the double cab in Invincible trim with the 2.4-litre 150PS D-4D engine and either a manual or an automatic gearbox. However, despite its reliability, the ‘D’ rating means safety body Thatcham has increased the numerical insurance group, because the Hilux’s security system is below par.

Great Wall Steed

Insurance group: 8A

At first glance, the Great Wall Steed may appear to have the lowest insurance group of any pick-up by a very long way. However, the rating is based on the old one to 20 system, which was replaced by the current 21 to 50 formula in 2016, but the Steed has yet to be issued with an updated group. Either way, it’s a very cheap pick-up, if a way behind the competition in most other areas.
