Dual-cab 4x4 utes

If a dual- cab ute represents your ideal work/family rig, you’re not alone – this increasingly popular segment regularly contributes some of the country’s best sellers outright. Some of these models win sales through refinement approaching a car, loads of equipment and a butch image, while others, such as the Mitsubishi Triton, generate their appeal by delivering a hefty value payload. The diamondstar ute starts with a sub-$ 40K price tag which, with sound 52 percent three-year resale, means less lost to depreciation than any key rival. What the turbo-diesel four- cylinder lacks in capacity ( and refinement), it makes up with better than average 7.6L/100km official combined-cycle economy. A five-year warranty is a standout in this class ( matched only by the Isuzu D-max) and the 12-month service interval is surely often enough for a rugged workhorse. The average dual-cab ute costs more to insure than most family car alternatives, but happily the Mitsu is among the least- costly of the breed, at $ 859 per annum. Provided you’re talking value and not road manners, the Triton GLX is head and shoulders above the rest.
