If you previously graduated to enjoy a German vehicle and can’t seem to stand anything else but really needed a practical car for the farm, your prayers have finally been answered... by Volkswagen.

The Germans, better known for their sleek executive cruisers and fuel-efficient small cars, have decided to build a pick-up truck. In their perfectionist nature they needed to get it right the first time.

Practice, they say makes perfect, so in 1989 Volkswagen approached Toyota who build one of the best pick-ups in the market and entered a joint venture.

The product of that union was called the Volkswagen Taro. It looked like and was a Toyota Hilux in every way except for the badge.

Navara is always my number one double cab choice.
Can't wait to test drive the Amarok!

Yes indeed, the VW will definitely debut at number one! Navara is good, but the Dmax has a better engine, so the three - only those three are really worth every penny.

I had a Ford Ranger for a week or so and it was great too. The Mitsubishi I haven't really experienced, but am told it is also very good, maybe if I was to drive one I'd place it in category one, but for now that's my 2 cents. The toyota is still overrated and this is clear from the fact that it may no longer be the top selling pickup since DMax sales exceeded toy sales a couple of years back.

My Experience
Navara 2.5DCi ... 32- 34mpg (13.5-14.5 km/l) average (on 2wd). unless the computer is faking this.
Its better than a 1.8(petrol) C-class and even much better than a 1.8 E-class.

Japanese models any day, Best double cab pickup according to buyacar.co.uk is the Toyota Hilux. Most durable and tested over time. consumption of 1 liter for 14 km. when a probox grows up it becomes a hilux
