Visually striking, roomy inside the double cab, best-driving pick-up out there, long list of equipment and accessories.
Ride quality better but not great, short load bed, needs crude power chip to match rivals on performance.
The best pick-up for UK driving conditions. A huge improvement on its predecessor.




This is the pick-up's trump card. Officially, this car is classed as a commercial vehicle and if VAT-registered owners can prove that they use it for business, they can claim back the tax. In recent years, many small business owners who might otherwise have chosen an SUV have opted for a high-grade pick-up instead.
A pick-up can also make sense for employees offered a company car. Although a recent change in the law means that the Benefit in Kind tax liability for someone driving a pick-up will rise from £500 now to £3,000 in April 2007, it still represents a big saving when compared with a traditional car.
In manual guise, the L200 achieves an average consumption of 32.8mpg, with the automatic returning 29.7mpg; these figures are pretty much the same with the 165bhp upgrade. Service intervals are now a decent 12,500 miles/one year.
