Great news, Car Magazine’s editorial team recently concluded its selection of the Top 12 Best Buys for 2025 and the Ford Ranger was voted as the winner in the double cab category, beating the Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi Triton. The Ranger continues its winning streak, surpassing ten consecutive victories in this closely contested segment. This achievement is unmatched in the competition’s history and clearly demonstrates the Ranger’s dominance thanks to its combination of impressive comfort and technological innovation.
“This was one of the easiest decisions made by the CAR editorial team in this year’s voting,” said Ian Mclaren, editor at Car Magazine. “We like the modern Triton and appreciate the qualities still offered by the ageing Hilux, but there’s no denying the modern Ranger remains the double-cab segment leader in terms of on-road comfort, modern conveniences and active safety. The presence of a flagship Raptor derivative hammers home this victory.”
