IMHO Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Mostly, people how buy single cabs are just looking for the cheapest truck money can buy, and the options available reflect that... Is there any particular features you're looking for? What sort of load will it be carrying? Will it be a high miler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just light loads and basic features but must be Diesal only, was looking at Toyota Vigo VNT at 538k. Anything similer but cheaper will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsu Triton starts at 498K, Nissan Navara starts at 500K, Isuzu D-Max Spark starts at 513K, and the Chev Colorado starts at 570K - all 2.5L diesels with 5MT. At this level there's really not much between them all, so price is probably your best guide. The Toyota 2.5L VN Turbo is arguably the best engine here though - challenged only by the Chev 2.5L for outright power but not for refinement. The Mitsu, Nissan and D-Max engines in this class are not the same as what's sold in higher grade models... Note: The Ford single cab is available with 2.5L gasoline engine only, and Mazda dont' make a single cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Then Toyota Vigo 2.5J VNT is the winner.. At this level, it's kind of like choosing between tomatoes at the market - just grab the nicest looking one, to your eyes That said, I always go for plumpest one without any blemishes. My wife always goes for the ones with insect damage though, because they obviously haven't been drenched in insecticides, so perhaps it's a bad example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The job the truck will be used for and how long it will be kept may influence the best choice. The Toyota clatters a bit less and the extra hp of the VNT is good if on the highway a lot. Isuzu and Toyota usually easy to sell and have better dealer network. Isuzu and the Chev have the advantage of being new models which may help resale. Toyota and Mitsu are due for replacement soon which may not help resale. Mitsu delivery time tends to be better. Mitsu is a bit smaller. These are all cheap, stripped out models for work trucks and in this market, basic features does not include ABS and airbags. The interiors are very basic and plastic, less appealing than the upmarket pickups, but OK as a basic work vehicle. Test drive time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
