2026 Hilux vs V6 Ranger: Which Ute Leads? 🚙

The new Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger V6 are two of the most talked-about utes in Australia right now. But spec sheets don’t mean much when you’re off-road.

So we took both of them out into real-world conditions and put them through a proper Aussie off-road test. No showroom chat. No brochure claims. Just climbs, traction control, torque delivery and honest impressions behind the wheel.

Does the extra power in the Ranger V6 actually matter off-road?
Has the new Hilux finally closed the gap?
And which one would we actually take on a proper remote trip?
