The current Toyota HiLux is now a decade old, but the GR Sport flagship remains the best way to experience this ever-popular dual-cab 4x4 ute.

2025 KGM SsangYong Musso XLV review
The latest Musso has received some infotainment upgrades and remains excellent value for money, but is the flagship Ultimate the pick?
