From The Experts

Ford Ranger
Ford, being one of the pioneers in making lifestyle premium pickup trucks, definitely knows a thing or two in making good looking pickup trucks. The Ranger, with its all American brute looks, indeed looks macho and muscular, especially at the front. The frontal looks shared with the Ford Everest SUV looks intimidating.
In addition to the exterior design, even the interior cabin of the Ford Ranger feels plush and solidly built. While the instrument console in the Ford Ranger feels quite comprehensive and futuristic, the presence of some of the premium features shared with the Ford Everest indeed makes the Ford Ranger a happy place to be in.
A pickup truck deserves a powerful heart to give it a go anywhere ability, and the Ford Ranger is blessed with one. Powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine shared with the Everest, the Ranger feels mighty on road with an adequate punch to go on and off the road with equal prowess – something which is assisted by the fantastic four wheel drive as well.
Toyota Hilux
The previous generations of Toyota Hilux have built up a huge stature for themselves when it comes to unshakable reliability, with tough build quality all over it. Thankfully, that very trait has been passed to this very version of the Toyota Hilux as well, with the current generation model possessing even tougher in feel body panels.
Compared to the previous generations of the Toyota Hilux which were blamed for not being modern and impressive in their looks in and out, the current generation model manages to solve that problem to a huge extent. The Hilux looks quite butch on the outside, and at the same time, the interior cabin layout shared with that of the Fortuner SUV give the Hilux some premium feel on the inside as well.
Ford Ranger
While the engine surprises you with the amount of power it packs in, the levels of refinement, especially in the higher rpms. The engine sounds noisy and gruffy, which despite having a good sound insulation system, makes its presence felt inside the cabin with its loudness.
Being a pickup truck with quite a high ground clearance, the Ford Ranger has not that great and plush ride quality. The suspension is good enough to eat up all the undulations on the tarmac with ease, however, it is not plush to keep the inner occupants comfortable.
Toyota Hilux
The 2.8-litre diesel engine in the Toyota Hilux feels powerful enough to make the pickup truck pass any grueling task with flying colors. However, when it comes to engine refinement, it definitely needs some massive improvement, as the engine sounds quite noisy even on the idle.
Another weak trait of the Toyota Hilux, as with most of the pickup trucks in the world, is the ride quality on smoother surfaces. While the Hilux’s four-wheel drivetrain makes it feel happy at home during off-roading, the same suspension and drive setup feels bouncy while driving on plush highways.
