Practical and reliable utes

Consumers’ experience driving their utes or pickup trucks daily reveals important inside knowledge on which models currently on the market are the most practical and reliable. Transporting tools, doing school pick-up, commuting to your office job, or going on a weekend adventure are all ways to test the reliability of your vehicle over time. We have gauged some strengths and weaknesses through research and inside knowledge of vehicles heavily utilised on Australian roads.

Toyota HiLux.

The Toyota HiLux boasts the top-ranking reputation for sturdiness and reliability on Australian roads. Time and time again, the Toyota HiLux has prevailed with exceptional ease during sustained heavy use by consumers. MRT has ute canopies to add to your Toyota HiLux that are exceptionally constructed and on par with the quality of the HiLux itself. The HiLux earned its title “unbreakable” from undergoing rigorous, long-term testing. It’s undoubtedly one of the toughest vehicles ever made. The Toyota HiLux is renowned for its innovative standard safety features. This includes the automatic emergency braking and the forward-collision warning system, which is also known for being a fairly fuel-efficient and easy-to-drive vehicle overall.

Ford Ranger.

The latest 2020 Ford Rangers has a smart design that is noticeably better on the road for consumers, as this upgrade has increased the overall reliability of this already impressive vehicle. They are packed with the latest technology and safety features such as AEB with Pedestrian Detection, Lane-keep Assist, Auto High Beam and Traffic Sign Recognition. The latest Ford Ranger can easily drive through streams of gushing water and takes on some of the steepest inclines with the Ranger 4X4 800mm water-wading e-locking Rear Differential, and driver assist features like the Hill Descent Control. MRT has a great range of the highest quality aluminium ute canopies for the Ford Ranger, offering additional practicality for drivers. All MRT ute canopies can be fitted with our keyless entry systems for added convenience.

Mazda BT-50.

This is a well-priced vehicle that offers an exceptional blend of passenger-car comfort with real-world practicality. The Mazda BT-50 range has a well-fit-out cabin that includes ample storage, great internal legroom and head clearance that makes the daily use of this vehicle more comfortable and practical. The BT-50 has a five-star ANCAP rating, sat nav, reverse camera technology, a 7.8-inch colour multimedia touchscreen and steering wheel controls. MRT has a range of Mazda BT-50 ute canopies made from heavy-duty 2.5mm aluminium checker plate that are weather-resistant and fully seam welded for added reinforcement.

Isuzu D-MAX.

This is a cargo-carrying workhouse at heart, with a maximum break towing capacity of 3500kg and 750kg unbraked. The newest double-cab models offer a beefier engine, improved off-road ability, enhanced styling and technological advances. Some highlight safety features include Rear Cross-traffic Alert and Blind Spot monitoring for added daily practicality. This competitively priced range of vehicles has a central 9.0-inch Infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, perforated leather seats and automatic LED headlights and wipers. This affordable vehicle is increasing in popularity, which is why MRT has a ute canopy range that perfectly fits the Isuzu D-MAX vehicles. With MRT, we have a range of customisations and upgrades available to customers, which allow them to cater their ute canopy designs to suit their lifestyle needs.
