Top 10 best pick-up trucks 2020
When commercial load-lugging meets five-seat practicality - these are the best pick-ups available to buy in the UK this year
Fuelled by company car tax rules making them particularly cheap-to-run compared with passenger cars of a similar size, the growing UK-market popularity of the pick-up truck is a phenomenon that might puzzle those unfamiliar with the benefit-in-kind loophole that has driven it on.
It’s easy to understand why ‘trucks’ sell so well in countries with quieter and wider roads, cheaper raw materials and cheaper fuel, after all; but less easy to grasp why you might choose to drive one on busier, tighter UK roads or around our multi-storey car parks.
Running a pick-up in place of a mid-sized family SUV could save a fleet driver a tidy four-figure sum on his annual tax bill as a result of the lower liability that all commercial vehicles qualify for. So if you do need to run a big car as a fleet option - whether you need the load-carrying and offroad capability that a ‘flatbed’ traditionally provides or not – you might very well find yourself interested to discover which the better-performing, better-mannered and more car-like ‘double-cab’ options are in a class populated by both very well-established and conspicuously new players.
So here’s our appraisal of the best pick-ups in the current crop, and what makes them better than others; together with a preview of the rather more special all-electric ‘lifestyle pick-ups’ that are expected to arrive soon. We group-tested several of these cars back in 2018, so for more detailed comparisons, click here.
1. Toyota Hilux
2. VW Amarok
3. Ford Ranger
4. Mercedes X-Class
5. Nissan Navara
6. Isuzu D-Max
7. SsangYong Musso
8. Mitsubishi L200
COMING SOON:
Rivian R1T
The Rivian R1T is what you end up with if you set up a brand new car business with a small band of talented engineers and an ex-Jeep designer, and you design your own electric car platform from scratch in a bid to give the world its first ‘adventure EV’. Rivians will, according to company boss RJ Scaringe, split the difference between a modern Land Rover and a Tesla.
The R1T will be the first of them, due in late 2020. A full-sized double-cab pick-up, it’ll have more than 200 miles of range from a 105kWh drive battery in it standard form, ranging up to 400 miles in top-line trim. Four electric motors will provide up to 754bhp, however, with 0-62mph possible in 3.0sec flat.
The vehicle’s loadbay floor, meanwhile, will be reinforced with carbonfibre and Kevlar in order to protect the drive battery underneath. Don’t expect this vehicle to come cheap, then; but expect it to make serious waves when it does arrive in Britain.
Tesla Cybertruck
A year after the Rivian R1T arrives, it’ll be followed by an unusual-looking but inevitable reply from EV pioneer Tesla. The angular, and allegedly bulletproof, Cybertruck will have up to three electric motors and more than 500 miles of range in its top-level trim, with a claimed towing capacity of more than six tonnes and a loading bay the same size as that of a Ford F-150. Like Tesla’s other bigger models, the Cybertruck will run on height-adjustable air suspension.
Tesla boss Elon Musk claimed that some 200,000 customers placed cash deposits for the Cybertruck within a week of the vehicle’s unveiling. Top-of-the-range versions are expected to cost between £50,000 and £60,000, with cheaper, less powerful and less rangey rear-driven versions available for less.
