which is the best pick up?(HILUX,DMAX,STRADA OR NAVARRA?)

Finally the Euro NCAP treatment has been dished out on some pick-up trucks. And no, the results are not pretty.

Trucks tested include the Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi L200 (we call it Triton here in Thailand), and the Isuzu D-Max.

Third Place Goes to Nissan Navara

Of the three trucks tested the Nissan Navara is the worst rated. A single star with a red strike through it on Adult protection. This is incredibly low. Looking at the pictures on the NCAP site, and realising that this crash is at a mere 64 km/h, it is not a pleasant thought to imagine crashing at a higher speed than this. Already the risk of serious injury would make me feel very exposed to physical harm driving at 64 km/h.

Second Place for Isuzu D-Max

Another very poor NCAP result. Look at the damage to the cabin, and the way the floor well is buckled! This is a characteristic of the ladder frame chassis employed by these trucks. If the chassis distorts it can lead to serious intrusions into the cabin.

First Place Mitsubishi L200 (Triton)

The safest truck tested is the Triton. With a 4 star rating. Many of the points awarded to the Triton were won for side impact protection. But in a frontal impact the risk of injury is still high.

What about the Toyota Vigo?

Unfortunately the Toyota Vigo wasn't included in this round of testing, but hopefully it will soon. However, the safety conscious buyer will be less than impressed with the Vigo "Moose Test" failure, and already have stricken Toyota's popular truck from their wish list.

Shocking EuroNCAP Pick-Up Truck Crash Tests!

Please read the following full crash test reports for full details:
Isuzu D-MAX, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara

The Nissan Navara scored the worst in adult occupant protection - not even one proper star but only a struck-through star. According to the report, the chassis rail collapsed and the accelerator pedal moved as much as 20cm into the footwell - that would definitely cause really serious injury to your legs. The airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners also activated too late into the crash, which EuroNCAP says poses “a high risk of life threatening injury”.


Nissan has developed new airbag software for the Nissan Navara and all new Nissan Navaras now have the updated software. All existing Nissan Navaras on the road will also receive a free airbag software update at their service centers.

The Mitsubishi L200/Triton scored 4 stars for adult occupant protection, and if you view the full crash report, you will see that the driver’s body and leg protection ranged from weak to marginal, but at least the head received good protection.

Very shocking - please do read the full crash test reports linked above. It’s a pity EuroNCAP did not test the Toyota Hilux. The Toyota Hilux is one of the most popular pick-up trucks used as a family car here in Malaysia, plus a full-bodied 7-seater version of it is sold as the Fortuner.
