Why Pickups Are More Popular Than Ever
When we think of a pickup truck we no longer only think about a rugged work van. Today we see a vehicle that is as much at home being a family SUV as it is at taking on heavy duty commercial jobs. You only need to look at roads and you’ll notice more pickup trucks in action, but why the increase in popularity? We think it’s a combination of things – it’s a surprisingly luxurious vehicle, offering a robust driving experience, with an impressive level of flexibility. This makes it appealing to more and more drivers, taking on the role of work van plus family adventure vehicle.
Today, pickups offer a much broader range of configurations than they once did, and with the right pickup accessories, you can further customise them for business or pleasure, making the most of this multi-purpose vehicle.
The Pickup market has been through significant changes in recent years, evolving to offer something much more. From impressive pulling power and off-roading driving capabilities to the multiple practical configurations available, it’s no surprise that the pickup has such broad appeal.
Like all vehicles, pickups have their own unique range of features and if you’re thinking about leasing one, the good news is there are plenty of options to choose from. With affordable and easy lease plans, you can upgrade the pickup you drive to something that offers both luxury and comfort, while still delivering the practicality you need. In recent times, some of the big players, such as Nissan and Mitsubishi, have exited the market, making way for other brands to step in and offer competitive, feature-packed models.
Why Lease A Pickup Truck?
9 Reasons You May Not Have Thought Of.
1. Upgrade the pickup you drive — more often
You’re not tied down for years; enjoy driving the latest models with better tech, safety, and comfort.

3. Minimise downtime
New leased pickups are more reliable and under warranty – less time in the shop, more time on the road.

Seasonal business? Leasing makes it easy to scale up or down your fleet without risk.

You’re insulated from the sharp drop in value that happens when you buy new.

The Ford Ranger
It’s no surprise that the Ford Ranger still holds the top spot as the UK’s number one best selling pickup truck. Voted Pickup Truck of the Year for three years running, its broad range of models offers something for everyone.
Choose from the Regular Cab, a 2-seater with maximum load space; the Super Cab, with a second row of seats while preserving storage; or the popular Double Cab (crew cab), which combines generous passenger space with practicality.
Renowned as the best all-rounder, the Ranger delivers a 1,200kg payload and up to 3,500kg towing capacity — perfect for both work and leisure.
Toyota Hilux
The Toyota Hilux has been one of the world’s best-selling pickups for decades, known for its toughness and off-road ability. Built to withstand the harshest conditions, it’s a reliable choice for drivers who need a van that won’t let them down.
The four-door Double Cab chassis is the most popular option, doubling as a work van and family car. If carrying passengers is less important, two-door Single Cab models maximise load space with a longer bed.
Even the entry-level Active trim includes Bluetooth and air conditioning, while higher-spec Invincible models add features like sat-nav and heated seats. With a 3,500kg towing capacity and increased storage in the latest version, the Hilux remains a practical, capable all-rounder.
Volkswagen Amarok
The Volkswagen Amarok combines serious workhorse capability with premium comfort, redefining the pickup market with its bold redesign. Named What Van? Pick-up of the Year 2024, it offers up to 3,500kg towing, over a tonne of payload, and a load bed that fits a Euro pallet.
Built on a Ford-developed platform, the Amarok delivers strong, confident performance with a choice of engines, including a powerful 3.0-litre V6 and standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive for excellent on- and off-road ability. No wonder many companies choose an Amarok business lease to equip their fleets with a vehicle that performs and impresses.
Inside, it feels more SUV than pickup, with Harman Kardon audio, ambient lighting, and a digital cockpit. Four trims — from the rugged Life to the luxurious Aventura — offer options to suit every driver.
Smart features like Load/Trailer mode, six driving profiles, increased wading depth, and a range of accessories — including hardtops, liners, and roll covers — let you tailor your Amarok to your exact needs.
Isuzu D-Max
The Isuzu D-Max is a solid, no-nonsense pickup, long favoured by farmers and outdoor enthusiasts for its durability and reliability. The latest generation adds modern features while keeping its workhorse appeal.
Available in single, extended, and double-cab versions, the D-Max suits everyone from businesses to families. Trim levels range from the practical entry-level to luxury options like the Isuzu DL40 specs, which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, leather heated seats, and more — features you’d expect in a premium SUV.
With more interior space than before, a payload of 1,100kg, and 3,500kg towing capacity, the updated D-Max competes confidently with its rivals while staying true to its tough reputation.
Maxus T90
The Maxus T90 is the most recent entrant to the pickup market, and a significant one. China has advanced so rapidly in automotive technology that it is now recognised for producing innovative, high-quality vehicles. As the first fully electric pickup truck to reach the market, the T90 is available in the UK through our Maxus T90 electric lease plan, making this milestone in engineering accessible to more drivers.
The concept of an electric pickup isn’t new, but manufacturing one that is truly functional has proven challenging. Pickups demand much more power than regular vehicles, making it harder to design batteries that can meet these demands while keeping weight manageable. Stronger frames and components, necessary to support the additional battery weight and towing capacity, add further complexity. Electric pickups also require a wider range of advanced components compared to standard EVs, which are not yet produced at scale and are more expensive to source and develop.
Despite these challenges, Maxus succeeded in bringing the first fully electric pickup to production, a remarkable feat of Chinese engineering. China’s reputation as merely a producer of cheap, copied products is shifting; it is emerging as a leader in innovation, quality, and safety, in some cases even surpassing Western manufacturers.
Pickup FAQs
Q1. Is leasing still cost-effective after the double-cab tax changes?
Yes! if the vehicle is used exclusively for business, leasing remains cost-effective despite the 50% VAT limit. BIK tax only applies if used personally. For mixed-use or personal use, consider alternatives like double cab vans or 4×4 commercial vehicles to maintain tax efficiency.
Q2. Do leased pickups come with a tow bar or canopy?
Yes! Tow bars, canopies, and a variety of other accessories can be included with your leased pickup. However, it’s best to inform the leasing company of your specific requirements in advance so they can ensure the vehicle is fitted with the accessories you need.
Q3. What happens if my leased pickup gets damaged off-road?
For leased pickups, it is the client’s responsibility to find insurance, although we can help with guidance. Most standard policies don’t automatically cover off-road driving, so you’ll need to arrange appropriate insurance if you plan to use the vehicle off-road. Any damage not covered by your policy would be your responsibility.
