What do you want to use the truck for?
Daily driver? Family vehicle? Workhorse? Off-roading?
L200 - Pros: Most comfortable. Most legroom in the back. Feels like a big-car when driving, easiest to drive. Eligible for Ansa Mcal "In One" financing, insurance and maintenance package. Stylish cabin design, quality materials. Above average after-sales service at Diamond Motors.
Cons: 3.2L engine is the least responsive. New 2.5L engine is more powerful but still not as responsive as it should be. Exterior styling will not suit most people. Tray is smaller than most other pickups.
Ranger - Pros: Most responsive engine & well-tuned transmission. Very rugged, capable of taking more punishment than the average driver will ever throw at it. Excellent workhorse. Excellent for off-roading. Longest tray out of all the pickups. Eligible for Ansa Mcal "In One" financing, insurance and maintenance package. Excellent after-sales service.
Cons: Not the most comfortable. Not enough legroom in the back for tall people. Ride quality isn't as soft as the Navara.
Navara - Pros: Very comfortable inside. Feels like a big car when driving, similar to L200. Styling is more masculine than most trucks nowadays. Very powerful engine (most powerful of all the local trucks). Good workhorse. Quality materials in the cabin. Good ride quality.
Cons: Powerful engine but also not as responsive as the Ranger. Large body means less maneuverable in tight places. Hard to park in town, eg. POS. Ground clearance not as high as other pickups - limits the 4x4 off-road capability. Not eligible for the "in One" plan (N&M). Cabin styling is more plain than other pickups. After sales service at N&M sucks.
