if you plan to use your pick up to wade or ford into floodwaters when inevitable, get the 4x4 model. Any brand. I would NOT dare wade into floodwaters with a 4x2. Its an "unknown" terrain under the floodwaters you know.. If you plan to use your 'ute with heavy loads regularly, get the hilux, it has by far, the beefiest underchassis. The softest being the navarra as it has multilink coil-sprung rear suspension, thus, probably has the most comfortable ride on-road. Power & Torque? halos hindi na sila nagkakalayo lahat unless we are talking about triple digit speeds. Aftersales and aftermarket support? Toyota wins in this segment... After owning several 4x4's from car brands, I still go with the one that has good aftersales and aftermarket support. After all, these are machines that do breakdown overtime with regular use or abuse, and with that, aftersales and aftermarket support REALLY matters
