Folks - i am looking forward to buy a double cab both for personal and biz use. What's the best diesel option that there is? Something trendy, roomy and doesn't guzzle exceedingly.

Mitsubishi L200/warrior- Very Good 4x4 capabilities...heating problems.
Raidator caps don't seem to fit.
Problems with clutch and crank or flywheel

Nissan Navara - plenty of power, solid, comfortable, - noisy, peaky on acceleration .Good specs and interior of the Nissan,(Aventura spec)
also problems with clutch and crank or flywheel

For above, go for Auto-transmission

Isuzu Rodeo (Denver) - queitest engine and wind noise, smooth to drive, reasonably priced but basic interior, also has electronic 4x4 engagement (touch of a button).

Toyota Hilux - the best... by Far !!
Easy to drive, ok on power, comfortable - but pricey,
Pre 2005 models are ugly
You cannot destroy this car. Go for the 3.0L D4D engine.
+ very good resale value.

Thanks JK. Good stuff. I've had a lot of positive recommendations on Toyota. Just a couple of questions that you might help with.

On D4D:

What's a reliable source to port from? The UK models look quite trendy!Is D4D a quite engine? Does D4D come with automatic transmission?And how about Toyota Vigo? Does this run on D4D as well?

Many thanks!

D-4D (3.0L) is the same engine Land Cruiser. So its the same noise.... but the faster you go the quieter it gets. Yes Auto transm'sn iko.

But there is also the 2.5 D-4D... but this hardly comes in automatic.
D-4D is a fabulous engine.

All these are Vigo (7th Generation Hilux)... since 2005.
Top of Range is called Invincible (still vigo model) but now has all the trimmings including SAT Navigation system.

See some examples here. http://www.motobex.co.uk/recent-results open or view document called "2007 Toyota Hilux Vigo"
They may also be available on auto-trader.
