2026 Ram 2500 Review
It's big, it's mighty, and it now comes with an insane 1458Nm of torque, but at more than $180,000 on the road, does the RAM 2500 make sense?

CarExpert Choice winner: Best Electrified Ute
In a segment that has only recently appeared but is growing quickly and generating plenty of buzz, the GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV is our choice.
The GWM Cannon Alpha has been named Australia’s best electrified ute in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice awards.
It beat out two electrified dual-cab finalists – the plug-in hybrid BYD Shark 6 and the all-electric LDV e-T60.
The Ford Ranger PHEV was launched too late to qualify, while fresh electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) entrants such as the LDV eTerron 9 aren’t yet available.

When it comes to electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid utes in Australia, there aren’t many… but that doesn’t mean the Cannon Alpha PHEV wins by default.
It has impressive off-road capability thanks to front and rear differential locks and a proper four-wheel drive system with low range, plus a full 3500kg towing capacity, while offering a luxurious cabin with plenty of kit and sharp pricing.
To top it off, it offers the impressively low fuel consumption and relatively long electric range expected of a PHEV ute. That’s why it takes this award.

2026 Ford Ranger review
With loads of gear, a well-tuned ride, and solid diesel power, the Wildtrak is a testament to why the Ranger is still a clear class-leader.

This may 'just' be the base model, but the Kia Tasman S dual-cab ute feels more upmarket than most other rivals.
