Ford's best-seller still justifies its position as an Aussie favourite, especially in Sport V6 form, but more rivals are signing up every day.

2025 KGM SsangYong Musso XLV review
The latest Musso has received some infotainment upgrades and remains excellent value for money, but is the flagship Ultimate the pick?
