Which pick-up truck should i buy?

Hey guys,

I'm going to buy a pick-up and i meet difficulty to find the best one. I want to buy a stylish car to go to work and sometimes to go for sight-seeing with my family.

A powerful pick-up isn't neccessary for me. I need a small pick-up. From some reviews, i list some of the most suitable cars to buy. They are:
  • Toyota Hilux
  • Xe Ford Ranger
  • Mitsubishi Triton
  • Isuzu D-Max
  • Mazda BT-50
  • Nissan Navara

Which is the best pick-up for me to buy? I love Ford vehicles but my friend tell me that the MPG of products from Japan-car-maker is better.

Sorry for my bad English. Thanks in advance.

It would really depend on what is more important to you. Me personally I would choose the Ranger, but then I am partial to Fords as is everyone on this site. If you want the truck with the best mpg then pick that one. If you do love Fords, then you already have your answer. If one of those trucks listed is more "stylish" to you, and that matters more than mpg then get that one. If you have a large family, get the largest truck you can find. In the end, you have to make the decision, and then be happy with it. Of those listed I am only familiar with the Ranger.

It really is a matter of personal preference. When I was looking for a small truck, I was looking for either a Ranger or a Toyota (possibly a Tacoma) - I found a Ranger and, while the mileage isn't spectacular, I've been happy with it. Besides, whenever I think my Ranger is getting bad mileage, I just start thinking about how much gas my old '77 loves to drink just to get warmed up, LOL...

Edit: Just a thought, but the type of roads can also affect your mileage - I've gotten up around 25mpg out of the Ranger, but that was on flat desert terrain - since I moved here to the coast where there's more hills, there's no way I'd see that kind of mileage.

What country do you live in?
Many of the vehicles you listed are not available in the US.

The Hilux is perhaps the best small pick up on the planet....
