The Strada is far and away the most sophisticated, chassis-wise (body strength, safety and modernity) amongst the current crop of pickups. The Ranger and Navara are better to drive, but neither can quite match the comfort of the Strada, though the Navara comes close.

In terms of diesel tech, all of these new pickups, D-Max included, are picky when it comes to fuel choice... Only time will tell if the local fuel quality will improve to the point where direct injection issues become less of an issue... but until then, as long as you pick your stations wisely and change your fuel filter more often, you should be relatively safe.
