What pick-up should I buy?

I am thinking of buying a 2006 to 2008 pickup. Any suggestions on make and model?

Hi Damian,

Keep it simple and go for a Toyota Hilux. It's utterly indestructible and not too shabby to drive either, although it simply can't match the handling and refinement of a car-based 4x4. Another good option is the 130-inch wheelbase Land Rover Defender crew cab. Again, not very refined but staggeringly capable and achingly cool.
