The reviews treat these three most favorably.
They're all sort of pretty in their own ways.

They're all sort of pretty in their own ways.
I could find a lot to do with a truck if I had one. First would be a boat and trailer to pull behind it. Alas, I live in a condo.

I'm feeling like you should stick to the topic.
If that's difficult for you, perhaps venture forth a suggestion about which ute you'd like me to back up over your mush head.

I live in a rural area but also commute for work.

What's the differences in them? And what do you need it to do?Quote from: "RW"
Only slight differences and mostly in looks and appointments. Price wise, they all run around the same window although since it's October, there is discounting for lots of 2015's in Australia.
They all pull 3,500kg and take 1,000kg in the tray or tub. Run in the late 7l/100k to late 8l/100k for fuel economy, although Hiluxs still command a higher premium if for nothing else than brand devotees.
I'd need it to move people, tow a caravan, and for ferrying bulky items.
Fuel economy is important but the difference between the 2l and 3.2l engines is pretty negligible and the higher torque would probably be better.

We don't have a pick up Dinky Diana..
But, my husband has permission to use one from his place of work when we need it..
On an acreage, or for trades people, a pick up seems to be a necessity..
Let us know what you decide on.

That's the one, except it's white and doesn't have the sports bar or the running boards along the side of it.
