Looking at buying a new Double cab 4x4 deisel ute. Looking at either a Nissan Navara STX 450 or a Mitsubishi Triton GLS .Also liked the ranger/BT50 but didnt look as good on the safety side, any thoughts!

Rangers / BT 50s are good trucks. They all have ABS and airbags, what other safety features are you after!

The nissan and mitzi both had curtain airbags and ESP as well as a couple of other small features. I quite like the ford/mazdas my current one is a 2004 courier but we have kids now so the safety thing is quite important

Fair enough. Sorry, I don't know much about Navaras, but Mitsis seem to be OK so far.

The nissan costs about 5K more on the road is it worth it!
