Pickups are increasingly becoming regulars on Russian roads. This technique will not only take its owner and his passengers to the right place, but is also able to solve problems with the transportation of goods. If you decide to buy a pickup truck, but don't know which model to choose, pay attention to the cars presented on this page. We present to you best pickups- top 10.
10Mitsubishi L200
Opens our Mitsubishi L200 pickup rating. This representative of the Japanese brand is very popular in Russia. It is chosen for its high ground clearance and compactness. There are varieties of this pickup truck with 2 or 4 doors. A powerful but economical 2.5-liter engine is well suited to Russian realities. It can be used in complete off-road conditions.
The Toyota HiLux is ranked 9th in our roundup of the best pickups. The first Hilux models appeared in 1968. These cars with an additional body did not make the right impression on buyers. But between the end of the 70s and our time, eight generations of this Japanese pickup truck have changed. And today it is one of the most popular in the world. The modern Toyota HiLux is a real man's car, with all the advantages and disadvantages that follow. In fact, there is only one drawback - a simple interior trim. In all other respects, only pluses: high cross-country ability, strength and endurance. In general, you can name all the positive epithets of SUVs and pickups, and they will ideally fit next to the HiLux.
Ford Ranger is one of the best American pickup trucks that has been on the assembly line for over 35 years. The first model, released in the early 80s of the last century, was an alternative to the F-series pickups and differed from them in a more compact size. Ten years later, when the restyled Ranger was born, this pickup truck received a more powerful engine and a spacious interior. The appearance has also changed. The car began to exude power and aggression. The modern Ford Ranger is a technically equipped and bright car that will appeal not only to the farmer or fishing enthusiast, but also to the city dweller who wants to drive a reliable car.
7. Volkswagen Amarok
Volkswagen Amarok is the best German pickup that was conceived to solve the problem of cargo transportation. But a roomy body and an excellent load capacity for this type of car (up to 1200 kg) did not become the main criteria for choosing this large pickup truck. It is purchased by those who want to have a large car and a comfortable interior. In this regard, the "German" managed to win the hearts of picky Russian car owners. Although this model was originally planned for the markets of South America and Australia, today Amarok is a frequent guest on our roads. The car is available in two body styles: double and quadruple, and has decent performance. As for comfort, they correspond to the manufacturer.
The Sierra 1500, the first model of which was released in 2014, has acquired the status of the "quietest pickup truck" in its category. The car has a stern look and threatening, thanks to the massive radiator grille, grin. For the manufacture of the body, GMC engineers used the latest materials, thanks to which it was possible to reduce weight without losing strength. Better handling was achieved by equipping the Sierra 1500 with disc brakes. This typical "American", although it has a rough "clumsy" shape, has significantly improved its aerodynamics. Like other representatives of this TOP of the best pickups, the GMC Sierra 1500 will easily cope with the issue of delivering medium loads.
5 Ford F-150
Ford's F-series has been one of the most popular pickup trucks on the American market for four decades. They are distinguished by a thoughtful design and the presence of all the necessary functions. The modern Ford F-150 is not only a workhorse, but also a comfortable vehicle. With it, you can go on a long rally or solve daily tasks. This model has high-tech additions such as lane keeping assist, cruise control, automatic braking when entering a corner at high speed, voice recognition system, etc. And do not let the dimensions of this pickup truck and the small volume of the turbocharged engine scare you. He will cope with most of the tasks assigned to him.
The next hero of this rating is the “over-pickup” and “under-truck”. The car really turned out to be very interesting, but it has a big minus for our country - high cost. The bulky size of the Tundra should also be added to the list of shortcomings. But everything else is just solid advantages. Unlike most pickups from this review, this Japanese has not only a spacious, but also a comfortable interior. In addition, it has a great finish. As for the engine, under the hood of the Toyota Tundra is a 5.7-liter eight-cylinder monster. Therefore, if you want not only to deliver the goods, but also to do it in comfort, take a closer look at this car.
Dodge Ram 1500 opens the top three pickups. This model has long been considered a cowboy truck. He easily coped with the solution of all possible issues on the ranch. Today, this SUV has changed several versions and appeared as a chic luxury car with a body. The first Dodge Ram 1500 was released in 1994. Chrysler has done everything to solve the problems of similar vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet and GMS. And they succeeded. Sales of the first Dodge Ram 1500 models were phenomenal for the American market.
The modern model is a tribute to the traditions laid down during the release of the first "ram". The model has become more luxurious, but it has an easily recognizable retro style. Pickup is available in several versions. Can have a cabin for 2 or 5 seats. Its carrying capacity and engine power are changing.
In second place is another good Japanese pickup truck - Nissan Frontier. The car first appeared in 1997 as a mid-size pickup truck aimed at the American and Asian markets. In Western Europe, Nissan supplied this model under the name Navara. This car today is sold with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
This SUV is equipped with a reliable chassis with advanced independent front suspension. The rear suspension is a continuous axle with powerful leaf springs. The Frontier handles off-road with ease. It will deliver not only cargo, but also passengers to the place. And in some situations it will become a real hard worker who will help out more than once in a difficult situation. In the popular Ultimate Factory competitions, this model achieves good results.
Over the past year, the range of pickups in Russia has been seriously reduced: Nissan Navara, Nissan NP300, Ford Ranger, Great Wall Wingle, SsangYong Actyon Sports and Land Rover Defender left the market. The passenger-and-freight Lada 4x4, that is, the old Niva, has also sunk into oblivion: unique parts for these cars with a one-and-a-half cab were produced at the AvtoVAZ pilot plant, which was closed last December, and immediately after that, the Super-Auto company was declared bankrupt who assembled them. But this year, three new pickups appeared on the market at once!
UAZ Pickup based on the Patriot remains the most affordable: a car with a carrying capacity of 725 kg still costs from 839 thousand rubles, and for the version with air conditioning and an audio system they ask for 930 thousand. But already at the end of October, dealers will have modernized trucks with a new interior, two airbags, a single gas tank and fresh options. Prices will rise by -30-50 thousand rubles, however, the 2.7 petrol engine (135 hp) is still the same, and the 2.2 diesel engine (114 hp) will no longer be installed on UAZs.
The honor of Chinese pickups on the market today is defended only by a newcomer. A car with a Cummins ISF 2.8 diesel engine (163 hp) and a Getrag manual transmission costs from 1 million 220 thousand rubles. Tunland differs from most Chinese counterparts in a pleasant design and good quality, in the initial configuration there are two airbags, ABS, air conditioning, and a CD player. But the warranty is modest (two years or 100 thousand kilometers, although even UAZ is covered by a three-year warranty with the same mileage), there are few dealers, and these are the same car dealerships that sell large trucks (with the appropriate level of service). And the carrying capacity of 1025 kg closes the road to the center of Moscow.
Another recruit is, that is, turned over (in the title photo): both models are produced at the same factory in Thailand, they have a load capacity of 920-935 kg, and differ only in the design of the front end. At the same time, the Fiat pickup is on average 50 thousand cheaper than the donor. Prices for a Fullback with a 2.4 diesel (154 hp) start at 1 million 530 thousand, and the most attractive version with Super Select transmission, climate control and an audio system costs 1 million 930 thousand rubles against 1 million 980 thousand for a similar Mitsubishi L200. It is this couple that I recommend in terms of price and consumer qualities, but inside it I still prefer Mitsubishi: the Japanese brand has a wider dealer network (135 versus 55 sellers) and a better reputation in the secondary market.
The third newcomer is a sample of 2011. They began to supply us with cars with a carrying capacity of 975-980 kg with an uncontested 2.5 turbodiesel (163 hp) and an all-wheel drive transmission with a rigidly connected front axle (part-time). The basic version costs 1 million 765 thousand, and for two million you can take a car in the maximum configuration with a “leather” interior, climate control, an audio system and other options. But the surcharge for the “automatic” is insane 240 thousand versus 40 thousand for Mitsubishi and Fiat, the guarantee is two years instead of three (the mileage is the same, 100 thousand km), besides, Isuzu has few dealers, and ten car dealerships will sell pickups.
With a carrying capacity of 760-815 kg, it is estimated at least 1 million 976 thousand rubles for a version with a 2.4 diesel (150 hp), and a car with painted bumpers, an audio system, heated seats and alloy wheels costs 2 million 149 thousand. Hilux with a 2.8 engine (177 hp) and an “automatic” is sold at a price of 2 million 311 thousand. The warranty is the same three years or 100,000 km as Mitsubishi, but even at those prices, the Hilux remains the best-selling pickup truck on the market.
Volkswagen Amarok
And the most expensive truck is an updated one (with a carrying capacity of 1000 kg), which will appear at dealers in October. The basic version with a 2.0 TDI diesel (140 hp), black bumpers and a simple air conditioner costs 2 million 131 thousand rubles! For a car in a decent configuration, you need to pay 2.4 million, and if you need an “automatic”, prepare 2.5 million. This is the price of a Toyota in the maximum configuration, and the top-end Amarok will cost four million rubles. At the same time, the warranty is only two years, albeit without a mileage limit.
Increasingly, pickup trucks can be seen on the roads of Russia - comfortable vehicles designed for transporting and towing goods. If you want to buy a car of this class, but you can’t stop at just one, the Top 10 best pickup trucks in the world for Russia will allow you to choose the best one.
Pickup Rating: Top Ten
The presented cars have become real leaders in the automotive industry. That is why many motorists prefer these brands. The rating of cars in the world in terms of cross-country ability and technical characteristics will allow you to choose an SUV to your liking.
The Japanese pickup truck Toyota HiLux is one of the famous brands in the world among mid-size cars. Reliable, comfortable and economical pickup has a powerful engine, and driving it is a pleasure. In 2019, a new version of the car was released. It has a modern appearance, 3 types of cabins.
The interior has also been changed. The number of settings in the driver's seat has increased, lateral support has appeared. The center console is equipped with a modern multimedia system. The interior trim uses high quality materials: genuine leather, plastic, metal inserts.
2. Toyota Tundra
Toyota Tundra is able to conquer any off-road in Russia. The body can have a variety of configurations, two or four doors. The most common is a 4-door car. The most powerful engine is 381 hp. with a volume of 5.7 liters.
3.Mitsubishi L200
Mitsubishi L200 is another representative of the Japanese brand. It is compact and has a high ground clearance. That is why it is so popular in Russia. The body can have 2 or 4 doors. The latest generation brands have a powerful 2.5-liter engine built in. Thanks to this, the car can drive on any roads in Russia. 
4 Nissan Navara
Nissan Navara is a large and beautiful pickup truck. In the automotive market of the world, he is the sales leader. If you need a car for transporting goods, you should choose Nissan Navara. The SUV is equipped with airbags, which increases the degree of reliability and safety, power windows, ABS. The motor has a capacity of 2.5 liters, 174 hp.
5. Volkswagen Amarok
The German-made Volkswagen Amarok belongs to the category of cars, the price of which is quite high. Manufacturers have focused on the quality, power and stability of the pickup truck. The volume of the turbocharged gasoline engine is 2 liters. The car has enough, while fuel consumption is only 8.3 liters per 100 km. The price, the gloomy saloon interior can be attributed to the cons of an SUV. Which, however, is a matter of taste and does not affect the quality of the car's cross-country ability.
6 Ford Ranger
The compact American-made Ford Ranger has a 2-liter engine with 143 hp. The pickup truck is equipped with a five-speed gearbox, which allows you to feel more confident on the road. Spacious interior and high equipment are its main advantages. The disadvantages include the interior of the cabin, shortcomings in ergonomics and an apathetic diesel engine.
7 Ford F-150
Another representative of the American manufacturer is the Ford F-150. The price of a pickup truck is quite reasonable, while it has high power. 3.5 liters - the lowest indicator of engine size, power is 365 liters. With.
8. SsangYong Actyon Sports
The Korean SUV SsangYong Actyon Sports has exceeded all expectations. A fairly powerful car, at an affordable price. Pickup will cope with any impassability of Russia. The most successful version is an SUV with a 2-liter gasoline engine with 149 hp. and 6-speed automatic. SsangYong Actyon Sports is an economical and easy to drive car. But the dynamics on the track leaves much to be desired. Another disadvantage is the short cargo platform.
9GMC Sierra 1500
The American GMC Sierra 1500 differs not only in appearance, but also in technical characteristics. Has a powerful engine. The most popular specifications are the engine capacity of 6 liters with 300 hp.
10. UAZ Pickup
Among the cars made in Russia, there is also a worthy pickup - UAZ Pickup. The price of a pickup truck is quite acceptable, while its cross-country ability is high. He can drive on almost any off-road. The disadvantages include the lack of comfort in the cabin and not enough good technical characteristics.
Which pickup is better, only you can choose, but the reliability rating and price-quality ratio of cars will help you make the final choice.
The most reliable pickup trucks in the world
In 2019, the reliability rating of pickup trucks in the world included two cars from Japanese manufacturers Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi L200. They have a more powerful body, which gives them the ability to carry a large amount of cargo and cope with a high load. At the same time, the high quality of iron prevents frequent breakdowns.
If we compare these two pickup trucks in terms of reliability, then:
- Mitsubishi L200 was originally intended for off-road outdoor activities, and therefore has excellent cross-country ability on any roads. The model has high reliability rates also due to the body mounted on a spar frame.
- Toyota Hilux also has sufficient endurance and reliability. But it is significantly inferior to the Mitsubishi L200 in terms of cross-country ability.
The following rating will help you choose the best pickup truck in terms of cross-country ability, reliability, and the price-quality ratio of which will match.
Price-quality ratio for pickups for Russia
To choose a high-quality and affordable car, the rating of the best pickups in the world in terms of price-quality ratio will help. It included:
- UAZ Pickup is among the presented SUVs. However, in terms of cross-country ability, it is not inferior to most foreign models. One has only to add comfort, and it will be worthy of competition.
- Despite the fact that the Toyota Hilux is inferior in terms of cross-country ability to many SUVs, the car is included in the ranking of the most expensive in the world.
- The price of the Mitsubishi L200 is slightly inferior to the Toyota Hilux, but it is more passable and reliable.
Pickups have recently become more and more interesting for many motorists. The reason here is their versatility, good cross-country ability, sufficient maneuverability, the ability to carry more cargo than other cars, and unpretentiousness. It is not surprising that these "workhorses" are becoming more and more in demand in Russia.
Each of them has the most acceptable price-quality ratio. Let's consider the representatives of this rating in more detail.
UAZ Pickup
The Russian offer for the Russian market is quite modest: only the UAZ Pickup in its second restyling is presented here. The most obvious advantage of this contender is the cost: the range of prices ranges from 800 thousand to 1.15 million rubles, which in essence forms the bottom of the market. This “bottom” is shared by the UAZ pickup truck along with one of the “Chinese” below - the Great Wall Wingle 5, but it compares favorably with the latter with a clearly wider range of modifications, a more efficient gasoline engine ... and a characteristic exterior.
Despite the presence of four modifications, the engine range is not diverse: only the well-known 2.7-liter gasoline engine (135 forces) and an exclusively manual gearbox.
So in the end, the whole price difference is equipment: in the basic version there is a modest “audio preparation”, in the top equipment you can see a multimedia system on the center console. It will not surprise you with its size, but for your money a rear-view camera, a navigator and 6 speakers installed are already nice.
The advantages of the UAZ Pickup, of course, include a humane price, the disadvantages are a rather “chopped” interior and exterior design.
This model, of course, is of interest to people who seek, by investing a minimum of funds, to get the maximum return.
Great Wall Wingle 5
This Chinese pickup truck can hardly be called beautiful: quite urban (in terms of smooth lines), modern enough (for the same reasons) - but as if assembled from a do-it-yourself constructor from different cars and brands. Which, however, does not prevent him from occupying a leading position in sales, because he is only slightly more expensive than the cheapest UAZ - only 830 thousand. However, this is his only modification, so frankly speaking, there is nothing to choose from.
Is it necessary? Users note a decent cargo capacity of the Great Wall Wingle 5, a very pleasant cross-country ability (the rear axle is driven, the front axle is connected mechanically) and even impressive dynamics: with a fair wind, you can develop 150-160 km / h. The speedometer is marked up to 200, but let's be honest - this is not the kind of car that you want to go with the breeze.
Owners can talk about the merits of the Great Wall Wingle 5 for hours: passable, hardy, hard worker, unpretentious, warm and quite quiet. The main shortcomings given are painting (it peels off over time, especially at the bottom) and just a purely human desire to put a diesel engine under the hood. But, of course, the details: hard (practical) interior plastic, in some places the gaps in the cabin are larger than desired, the power windows have a lowering mode, but they do not have a lifting mode.
About the characteristics: 2.2-liter gasoline engine with a working power of 106 hp. and 190 Nm of torque, available already on the shelf 2400-2800 rpm. Transmission - only mechanical
Foton Tunland
Unlike the previous Chinese pickup truck, Foton Tunland has been known on the Russian market for quite a long time: in its first (and still only) version, it has been produced since the distant 2012. Everything can change in the current 2019, because in the middle of last year China had a restyled version of it is presented - much more modern externally and internally. Let's just describe it just in case.
A modern look and a modern interior with a touch-screen multimedia display are good, nice, but ... Dorestyle is sold in Russia for a starting 1.5 million rubles, and this is a completely different league, where European-Asian pickups like the Mitsubishi L200 with platform Fiat Fullback.
The motor range in China is represented by three motors:
2.4-liter gasoline unit (136 hp, 200 Nm);
2.8-liter Cummins turbodiesel (116 hp, 280 Nm);
2.8-liter Cummins diesel engine with increased to 163 hp. and 360 Nm kickback (Foton Tunland S version);
In tandem - either a 5-speed "mechanics" or a 6-band "automatic" for the older S-version. Whether there will be a similar assortment in Russia, where the pickup truck is presented exclusively with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel (163 hp, 360 Nm) and a manual gearbox, time will tell.
Moreover, just the time of operation of the actual pickup truck in Russia showed the advantages and disadvantages of Foton Tunland:
- The pluses include a spacious interior, good carrying capacity (about a ton), pleasant off-road performance
- The disadvantages are relatively weak customer support and a rather capricious electrical component of the car, only some of which are “cured by rebooting” (turning the ignition on and off)
Typical pickup truck from Germany: Volkswagen Amarok
The pickup truck of the well-known German brand surprises with a harmonious combination of power, high cross-country ability and memorable design. And the famous German pragmatism allows you to transport not only heavy and dimensional, but also mud-covered cargo, with minimal difficulty.
Pretty laconic exterior looks very fresh and stylish. Here, as it were, the uselessness of everything superfluous is emphasized. The appearance of the model is very harmonious and elegant. The cab of a pickup truck can be either two or four doors.
The interior of the Amarok is very comfortable and functional. The spacious interior, striking with frank wealth, is equipped with a stylish console with a multimedia center, dual-zone climate control, a convenient multifunction steering wheel, a well-perceived dashboard and other interesting things. The seats have a lot of adjustments, and a lot of necessary and well-thought-out little things will make the trip in Amaroca truly carefree.
Main Amarok specifications:
3-liter turbodiesel, power from 163 to 224 liters. With. (depending on the boost level);
- Six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic;
- Four-wheel drive;
- Disc brakes;
- Power steering.
Among benefits of Amarok:
- high power;
- roomy interior and cargo compartment;
- high cross-country ability, including in mountainous areas;
- excellent equipment.
From cons Amarok can be distinguished:
- low quality windshield;
- large turning diameter;
- poor sound insulation;
- quite high price.
The price starts from 2 million 131 thousand rubles and can exceed 3 million.
Amarok, distinguished by traditional German quality, will attract the attention of those who love to travel, having free time and money for this, not wanting to be constrained by trains and planes.
Premium among pickups: Mercedes-Benz X-Class
The manufacturer of traditionally luxurious cars did not stay away from the fashion for pickups. Daimler-Benz created its own version of such a car, which, however, uses the Nissan Navara base, including many elements of the technical stuffing, for example, the gear selector. At the same time, the Daimler-Benz designers did a good job on the appearance of their pickup truck, and now the wide “mouth” of the radiator grille, embossed fenders and bumper architecture give it a representative of the Mercedes clan. Its exterior is both brutal and impetuous, and the front hood that curves downwards gives it a predatory militaristic outline.
A Mercedes would not be a Mercedes if it allowed itself to make a mediocre interior even on a pickup truck: the interior is trimmed with genuine leather, the same wood and polished aluminum. The most modern and sophisticated equipment, including an advanced multimedia system equipped with an 8-inch color screen and supporting almost all formats, and dual-zone climate control will allow you to enjoy comfort while sitting in very comfortable chairs.
Main X-class specifications:
different versions are equipped with diesel engines ranging from 2.3 to 3 liters, developing power from 160 to 258 hp. With.;
- Six-speed manual or seven-band automatic;
- Four-wheel drive;
- Both dependent suspensions;
- Disc brakes;
- Rack and pinion steering center with hydraulic booster.
Among advantages of the X-Class:
- multiple versions;
- chic "stuffing" and finish;
- high power;
- fairly high permeability.
From cons X-Class can be distinguished:
- partially borrowed design;
- high price.
X-Class from Mercedes is the most luxurious option among those considered. Despite its high cross-country ability and power, it is still more suitable for urban and suburban, rather than taiga landscapes.
Cheerful classic: Nissan Navara
This frame pickup truck is very popular in Russia, as it perfectly “holds” off-road, and at the same time it is very powerful and comfortable, which allows it to successfully compete with any rivals.
The impressive appearance, especially with the "inflated" wheel arches, makes it a purely "male" car.
The interior of the model is distinguished by high quality finishes, comfortable armchairs and rich technical “stuffing”. Of particular note is the amazing ergonomics that make both the management of Navarra and just being here very comfortable.
The cargo compartment can accommodate up to a ton of weight, and a well-thought-out system of self-locking clamps and slings allows you to secure even the most dimensional cargo of a non-standard configuration.
Specifications Navara:
- Two diesel engines, from 2.5 and 3 liters, from 190 to 231 liters. With. respectively;
- Five-speed automatic or six-speed manual for 2.5 liters and seven-speed automatic for 3 liters;
- Rear-wheel drive with the possibility of forced connection of the front;
- F-Alpha high tensile steel frame;
- Disc brakes;
- Rear suspension in the form of an uncut bridge.
Among Benefits of Navara:
- large load capacity and high reliability;
- high level of comfort;
- high power and good handling;
- various configurations.
From Cons of Navara can be distinguished:
- rather high fuel consumption;
- difficulties of self-repair.
The price ranges from one million 300 thousand to 2 million.
Navara, perhaps, is a universal option both for fishing trips and for exporting crops from the country, but it will also suit everyone who lacks a regular trunk.Japanese pickup samurai: Mitsubishi L200
Another Japanese pickup truck has an expressive look, characterized by flowing forms of the front end and a kind of pointed and “upturned” shape of the cargo compartment, which gives the car a swift sporty silhouette.
The interior of the L200 is characterized by a noble combination of ease of use of all functional devices with the luxury of high-quality materials used in the decoration. The interior of the L200 is more like the interior of a prestigious SUV, rather than a pickup truck, "sharpened" for utilitarian purposes. Here and dual-zone climate control, and a multifunctional steering wheel, and a convenient multimedia system equipped with a seven-inch display, and much more.
The most reliable pickup? Toyota Hilux
Hilux, leading its history since 1968, and being one of the most common pickups in the world, is famous for its "indestructibility". Only "Hylax", the only one of the cars, managed to visit the magnetic North Pole and the geographic South. This machine is compared with the Kalashnikov assault rifle for its reliability and ease of use.
The eighth generation of Highlax has become a little longer, wider, but also lower than the previous one. The exterior of the model has become more dynamic and sporty, although it has avoided adding any additional elements to it.
The interior has changed a lot, approaching in its level the interior decoration of the most expensive SUVs. Now five people can freely accommodate here, who will be delighted with the many carefully thought-out "little things" that are typical only for the premium class.
Equipment Hilux - above all praise. Here is a keyless engine start system and access to the cabin, a lot of different steering and seat adjustments, a multimedia system with two screens, the most modern audio system, folding mirrors and a lot of other “bells and whistles”.
Transportation of goods on the new "Hailax" has become much more convenient, although the carrying capacity is only 880 kg. But trailer towing capabilities have improved, and parking has become very simple thanks to a rear-view camera and special sensors.
Specifications Hilux:
- the latest 2.4 and 2.8-liter diesel engines, ranging from 150 to 177 hp. With.;
- Six-speed manual for 2.4 liters and six-speed automatic for 2.8 liters;
- Four-wheel drive;
- Electronic IMT system;
- Disc brakes;
- Common-rail fuel system;
- Power steering.
Among Benefits of Hilux:
- highest reliability;
- excellent equipment;
- low fuel consumption.
From Cons of Hilux can be distinguished:
- low power;
- not a very large load capacity.
The price starts from one million 850 thousand and reaches 2 million 700 thousand rubles.
The eighth generation of the legendary Highlax, having retained all its advantages characteristic of its predecessors, has become more comfortable and technically equipped, which makes it even more in demand.Thus, the rating "Pickups 2018" includes 6 models. Each of them has a lot of advantages and a small number of disadvantages. Therefore, the choice remains with motorists. If “labor” qualities are more important, then most often they choose UAZ, “Chinese” or Nissan Navara, but if you need more comfort, then “Germans” are more suitable - Amarok and Mercedes X-Class, Mitsubishi will appeal to lovers of outdoor activities, and Hilux - in my opinion, it will suit absolutely any driver who wants to buy a pickup truck.

The American online publication Driver Side has compiled a rating of economical pickups. The first places are occupied by trucks with non-automatic transmissions, without all-wheel drive and with not very powerful engines.
