Trusted Used 4WD and Commercial Vehicle Dealer in South Brisbane, we have vetted hundreds of models to identify which workhorses truly stand the test of time and provide the best value for Queensland drivers.

1) 2021 Ford Ranger XLT (PX MkIII)

Well known for towing manners and highway comfort. Typical XLT features include camera/sensors, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and practical tray setups. On your test, check trailer wiring, camera clarity and a straight stop from 60–70 km/h.

2) 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak (PX MkIII)

Brings useful extras out of the box—hard lid/tub liner, easy-to-live-with cabin and a calm ride. Inspect the tub liner, hard lid operation and any tow accessories for a neat install. Make sure drive modes select cleanly.

3) 2016 Ford Everest Trend (UA)

Prefer a wagon over a ute? Everest shares running gear with Ranger but adds a quieter cabin and family-friendly fit-out. Check third-row fold, camera performance at night, and that the idle is smooth once warm.

4) 2017 Toyota HiLux SR Extra-Cab Cab-Chassis 4x4 (GUN126R)

Extra-cab space behind the seats for tools, tray out back for gear—a handy combo for trades. Engage low range in a carpark, listen for driveline binding on tight turns, and look under the tray for tidy wiring and any knocks.

5) 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor X

Chasing a capable weekender? Raptor X brings serious suspension hardware with an easy cabin. Check tyre condition and even wear, and confirm all drive-mode settings operate as expected.

Quick way to choose the right one

• Payload & tray set-up: measure what you actually carry. If you need shelving, look for tidy wiring and rust-free service bodies.
• Towing: match braked capacity to your trailer, confirm the plug type, and test any brake controller on a short loop.
• 4x4 use: select low range on full-lock in a quiet carpark; engagement should be clean with no clunks or hopping.
• History first: logbook stamps that match kilometres beat fancy accessories on older metal.

What to bring to the test drive

• Phone and cable to test Bluetooth/CarPlay, maps and calls.
• Small torch to check under mats, along door shuts and under the tray.
• A coin or tread gauge to compare tyre depth across all four corners.
