The UK pick-up truck market offers simple, rugged workhorses, through to more refined models with luxury levels of kit. We rank the best here...

Pick-up trucks are a popular buy for business users that need a practical vehicle that doubles as family transport at the weekends. They can also be cost-effective thanks to attractive tax rates for company car users and the ‘commercial vehicle’ classification. What, though, is the best pick-up truck for sale in the UK today? Here we round up the runners and riders in an expanding class that is closely fought by a variety of accomplished opponents.

The Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi L200 are two trucks that have been solid performers in this category for years, while the Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara are also popular choices among commercial fleets and private buyers. Volkswagen’s Amarok introduced a bit of premium choice into the segment when it was introduced, as did the (now discontinued) Mercedes X-Class. Cheaper options like the Isuzu D-Max and SsangYong Musso offer utilitarian functionality along with an SUV image.

Why are pick-up trucks popular in the UK?
We're used to seeing pick-up trucks on UK roads, and they are popular here for one chief reason: tax. Double cab pick-ups that can carry more than one tonne of payload in the bed are classified as commercial vehicles, and as a result they qualify for a fixed rate of Benefit In Kind tax.
