Don't have a need for a 4x4 dual cab truck, but that'd be my pick if I was REALLY looking.

Had one for 5years and know a few other owners
positives - tonnes of space, the most comfortable ute and handles well.
negatives - standard european issues, doesn't like towing trailers, if you have the manual make sure you get the gear right or it will stall.
Thoughts - didn't think it was that great offroad, and is definitely a vehicle you want with a factory warranty, but very nice for long trips and comfortably fits 4 guys and ALL the gear for a few days away.
