Key decision	A large work-ute family now spanning diesel, 48V mild-hybrid assistance and a dual-motor Hilux BEV.	A broad mainstream range spanning work-focused diesels, the petrol Raptor and the plug-in Ranger Hybrid.	A new-generation Kia work ute with current single- and double-cab choices, high published payload and 3.5-tonne towing.

Built for exact decisions. Family figures are labelled as ranges. Once you select a configuration, an absent value stays “not published for this exact configuration” and is never replaced with an incompatible family maximum.
