Back to mundane work transport for this vehicle test, with a look at double-cab pick-ups at the more affordable end of the market. On the menu: offerings from Mitsubishi and SsangYong

Last year saw a major revamp of the SsangYong Musso and an upgrade to Mitsubishi’s L200. The Musso gained new underpinnings and a fresh interior from the company’s Rexton SUV, along with a seven-year, 150,000-mile warranty. Meanwhile a stronger rear frame lifted the L200’s towing capacity to 3.5t, although this applies only when pulling a tri-axle braked trailer; otherwise the limit stays at 3.1t.
