Nissan has the Navara Brute:
*dual air bags
*power windows and locks
*no lsd
*no abs
*alloy wheels

Mitsubishi has the Strada GLX 4x4:
*dual airbags
*power windows and locks
*abs with ebd
*lsd
*steel rims

Isuzu has the Dmax LT:
*no airbags
*no power windows and locks
*lsd
*no abs
*steel rims with hubcap
*isuzu nameplate

And then there are the China trucks in the same or even lower price range like the JMC Compadre, Foton Thunder, Great Wall Wingle.

Just wondering which would be a good, basic work truck for mixed on road and off road use including recreational weekend use.

Toyota does not sell a workhorse version of the Hilux locally.
