Any opinions on 4x4 utes?

[Zedn]

I havnt driven any of them yet, that happens tomorrow. I sat in ranger, amarok and hilux and found the ranger interior uninspiring. The sat nav screen in the ranger is tiny. Ranger does come with a tow bar standard which is good, but they are not expensive to add. The amarok has the nicest interior, but i find the shape of the body a bit boxy.

I will be doing very little off road driving. Only a bit on the beach when i put my boat in on a sand ramp. I want the ute for carrying soil, building materials, rubbish to the tip etc as i am renovating a house and will be for the next few years. Im sick of messing up my SUV throwing stuff in the boot and also borrowing trailers. I have two young kids so need the dual cab to fit them.

Day to day will be driving around town seeing clients. Thats why i like the reverse camera in the hilux and also that it is narrower which will help parking. Hilux is good on fuel too compared to Ranger.

Its a tough decision as they are all pretty good! Its mostly the servicing parts and resale value putting my off Amarok.
