My 17 plate warrior has done 14,000 miles and so far has had warped brake disks changed under warranty and is going in on Thursday to have the gear box taken out because it keeps jumping out of third gear.
I’d definitely be looking at the ford or navara.

Wildtrak here at 35K not touched other than service, pulls like a train, comfy as an armchair and sh*t on fuel but no pickup on the market can beat it for pulling 3.5T with a ton in the bed. Wouldn’t have had anything else.
Brake discs seem to be a problem on pickups,i know of 3 new D Max with the same issue,but they wont do them under warranty cos they say the pads are worn causing the warp... The 5 year warranty would sway me to the Mitsubishi,or Fiat.

The Nissan has 12 year corrosion and 5year on every else warranty which impressed me
2015 wildtrak auto here. had a few niggles, flat battery and egr problems (now solved) but otherwise is a pleasure to drive and tows anything i've ever wanted effortlessly. great veghicle but somewhat let down by some of the dealers (especially the one in York!!)
Would i have another? Most definatly

To be fair they didn’t even question the break pads they just sorted it under warranty they are doing the same with the gearbox but it’s been back and for like a yo yo and it’s starting to fry my brain.

Nissan 5 year warranty says a lot about their belief in their own product.
That or the Hilux if you want to drive around like you are in an open wheel race car.

Or maybe it says a lot about how cr*p their past history has been, and they needed to offer that to get folk to feel safe enough to take a punt that their new truck wouldn't fall in half?

Try both and buy the one you like. That’s what grown-ups do

Not sure about the English Fords but here have been best seller for 40 years, they sell 2 per minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year, most popular F-150 spec is powered by either the 2.7 or the 3.5 Eco boost.........will do zero to 60 in under 6 secs. Towing cap over 12,000.........the 250/350/450/550 are mostly diesel 6.7 ltr.
A diesel F-150 available now, believe the engine is somehow related to your Range Rover's

Ford utes here are enjoying the same market share that used to be filled by the Hilux, back in the good old days when they designed them for utility, not road miles.
For proper dual purpose use, the Ranger would be hard to knock off the top spot.
They even stay in one piece if a dog p!sses on the tray, which is why Nissan will be appealing to all their ex-customers with extended warranties etc after their past failures, I would think?

Ranger 3.2 on cherryade every day of the week for me. I have always had good service from the L200’s but my friends ranger is a proper work horse.

The Navara is very comfortable and gives a better ride in my opinion, and perhaps a touch better on fuel than the Ranger, but all these trucks are thirsty.
