Looking for an all-wheel drive double-cab pick-up with a budget of around £10,000? Then you’ll find no shortage of choice, as Paul Guinness reveals

Not everyone in the market for a one-tonne pick-up can afford – or would even want – to buy brand new. And, happily, there’s no shortage of choice on the secondhand market, with a budget of around £10k bringing you an array of worthy contenders.

Which you choose will depend as much on your individual requirements as on your style and equipment preferences. Do you need the most generous payload for your money? Are you looking for an out-and-out workhorse? Or maybe you’re attracted by the well-equipped trucks aimed unashamedly at the ‘leisure’ market? Whatever your needs or expectations, there’s a truck out there ideal for you.

So we’ve taken a look at the six top truck ranges that fall within your £10k budget – to see what’s available and to show just how much choice there is. So now it’s over to you. If you’re in the market for a secondhand double-cab pick-up, get in touch and tell us which model you end up choosing – and why.
