    Long before the recent crossover and SUV craze, especially in North American countries and the Middle East, people who wanted a large vehicle with ample payload and large ride height generally preferred pickup trucks; especially double-cab pickups.

    However, due to limited parking space and social stereotypes in this part of the world, these vehicles are purchased for commercial use only. However, if you’re looking for a double-cab pickup truck that you can use both commercially and as your daily driver, here are some of the best options currently available on the market.

    Mitsubishi L200 has arguably always been the most popular pickup truck in Bangladesh. It is known for its reliability, solid performance and advanced features. This year, Mitsubishi is bringing its latest L200 to Bangladesh with a more rugged front fascia, stylish LED headlights and an overall muscular build.

    Under the hood lies a new 2,442 cc turbocharged diesel engine producing an upgraded 109 hp maximum power, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and powering all four wheels.

There are various storage areas that increase practicality for drivers, regardless of whether the trip is short or long.

    The truck’s fuel efficiency has always been above average, and the new engine has now been designed to further increase efficiency and make it suitable for everyday use. It also comes with a number of driver-assist features, but these and its price may vary depending on trim levels.

    Launched this year, the Changan Hunter is the newest contender in this segment. This is a solid, practical pickup truck designed for both work and play. Its aggressive appearance and modern aesthetics appeal to those who care about style as well as performance.

    The interior of the Changan Hunter has a surprisingly luxurious-looking interior. However, there is no argument for a wide cabin at the rear. While there’s commendable headroom and good lumbar support, rear passengers will struggle with legroom.

    There are bluetooth audio and physical buttons for all infotainment, air conditioning and vehicle controls. It has a practical layout with easy-to-use controls and ample storage space, making it ideal for long journeys or daily business use.

    Under the hood is a 2000cc turbocharged diesel engine mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission; It produces a maximum power of 110 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 Nm sent to all four wheels. Features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and brake assist. Besides all its off-road capabilities, its suspension is designed to not only support heavy-duty performance but also provide comfort for the driver and passengers.

    Its balance of power and utility, combined with good fuel efficiency of around 8 km/l, makes it a good choice for both commercial and personal use.

    Price: Tk50.5 Lakh

    The JAC T8 is the cheapest offering on this list because it is assembled locally. It has a bold and contemporary design with a prominent grille, stylish LED headlights and a muscular structure that gives it an aggressive look.

    The interior of the T8 has a large cabin space that allows five passengers to sit comfortably, designed with ergonomic considerations in mind for long journeys. It has modern features such as touch-screen infotainment system and air conditioning. The user-friendly layout, with easy-to-access controls and ample storage, makes it suitable for long-distance travel.

Available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, this vehicle is ideal for both work and outdoor adventures as it is capable of tackling challenging terrain. The 4WD option combined with a solid suspension provides a stable ride on rough roads while providing good off-road capabilities.

    The Nissan Navara has a bold, athletic design with Nissan’s distinctive V-motion grille, stylish LED headlights and muscular body lines. While its ground clearance and solid structure make it suitable for off-road adventures, its modern style and aerodynamic lines give it a flashy appearance on the city streets.

    Navara offers a spacious cabin by combining durability with comfort in the interior. It is offered in two models: one with a manual transmission, focusing on heavy-duty work, and the other with an automatic transmission, focusing on the needs of daily users. The second version comes with amenities such as push start, LCD infotainment system and electrically adjustable seats.

    This high-end trim offers luxury touches such as leather upholstery and heated seats. However, rear AC vents are standard across the line. Despite the premium add-ons, the infotainment system still feels too small and outdated for a cabin this size.

    Under the hood, the Navara comes with a 2488 cc turbocharged diesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission and an available 4WD configuration. For driver safety and support, it comes with hill descent control, hill climb assist and an electronic limited slip differential (ELSD) that provides a smooth, stable ride even on bumpy roads with Nissan’s advanced suspension system.

    Price: Available on pre-order for Tk90 Lakh
