thats racist! so what you never see a bling out Navara or Hilux before? you can put chrome on anything - hell i see a badup bmx bike with spinners and twin subs making more noise than anything else.
Just dont buy the ranger!!! stay far from them!
so all in end:
HILUX = Good overall family vehicle and if you have money to throw away
SPORTERO = like goldilocks & babybear porridge, feels just right... unless you have big things to move in the tray, then it's too small
NAVARA = big and powerful, but a beyotch to park in tight spots
RANGER = REL POWER AND TORQUE (and REL SMALL BACKSEAT)

-has the most comfortable rideONLY CUZ IT HAS COILS IN FRONT
-low maintenance compared to other brands (Check the stickies you would see what im talking about, end up paying more in the long run to maintain other brands) where i live there r alot of hilux and most of these ppl service outside of toyota, they jus change filters, oil n grease up etc n never had any problems THERES A REASON WHY THEY SERVICE OUTSIDE TOYOTA...SO DAMN EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN
-highest resale value as all toyota's have
-its has the best ground clearance for off roading GROUND CLEARANCE IS DETERMINED BY THE TYRES YOU USE...
-it is with out a doubt one of the best 4x4's stock trucks (my hilux keeps on amazing me with its worn Highway tires when i go off roading sometimes i think it is really invincible) EVERY1 HAS THEIR OWN OPINION
- fuel efficient i get 500/550 kms from 3/4 tank CANT SAY ANYTHING MY RANGER HAS SO MUCH WEIGHT ON IT I FORGOT WHAT FUEL EFFICIENCY IS
- in terms of performance its not the worst 173HP/343NM of torque, good performance gets the job done RANGER STILL BETTER =]
-reliable and virtually problem free SO IS EVERY BRAND NEW VEHICLE....IS NOT A XBOX WE TALKIN BOUT
-has VSC (vehicle stability control) never fishtailed or lost control around a corner - comes in handy off road YET IN THE MOOSE TEST IT ALMOST FLIPPED?
-because of the height its easy to drive and park THE HILUX IS THE HIGHEST OUT OF ALL STOCK TRUCKS
-its is one of the best selling light truck around the world, also it is still the number 1 selling truck in trinidad. Toyota is still number one in the world after all its recalls etc http://www.worldcarfans.com/111012630548/toyota-still-number-one-in-global-sales let the facts speak for themselves
there isnt anything bad u cud say bout the hilux
the only truck i can see tht would be better than the hilux is the 2012 ranger..however im sure the next gen hilux wud be better than tht

Don't buy based only on what other people say. Go to the dealerships, sit in the truck. Test drive it. Ask questions. Go with your gut feeling, not what others say is the best, or because one guy loves his brand more than the other.
At the end of the day, it's you who has to drive it, park it, watch it in the garage, maintain it. It's you.. not us.
I was indecisive for almost 6 months myself, and then I chose the brand of truck that was best suited to my own personal needs - not the needs of the next guy on this forum.
No short way or shortcut around it man - that is, if you want 100% satisfaction with your $200,000-plus vehicle.
