Best 5 Pick-Up Trucks For Personal Use In India
A pickup truck is the best of both worlds if you own a small business but don't need a heavy transporter to lug around their goods thanks to the long flat-bed in the rear
Once you do get home, you can also use (in most cases) the same vehicle to ferry the family around on a holiday as well.
However, pickups are still somewhat of niche market in India and not many are on sale in the country. Still, let's take a look at five of the best pickup trucks currently available in India, that are the best of both your worlds.

Please do note that not all variants of the D-Max come with air conditioning which could mean some rather sauna-esque drives.
