Pickups combine a one-tonne payload and 3.5-tonne towing capacity with proper all-terrain capability – a niche but loyal part of the European market. We’ve driven the best-selling Ford Ranger, Toyota’s long-serving Hilux and two generations of the Isuzu D-Max. Euro 7 and electrification are pushing the segment forward, with plug-in Ranger variants and the electric Isuzu D-Max EV arriving in 2026; our reviews cover on-road manners as well as off-road behaviour.
