** Because they are dual-pupose vehicles. People can use them for day-to-day driving and also doing fun stuff like camping/fishing/ four wheel driving.
** Most people who run small/medium size businesses buy them as 'business' vehicles and get tax benefits (can claim tax depreciation on the vehicle)
** Double cab pickup trucks are also good value for money when you compare their price/utility/size/durability.
** They are also great as a second vehicle to get things done. i.e. carry stuff for home/gardening, tow things like boats/caravans etc...
** They are generally more durable and easy to maintain compared to more complicated SUV`s.
Ford ranger was the best selling vehicle (out of all types of vehicles) in 2023 in Australia, followed by the Toyota Hilux.
