THRIVE verdict
Maxus T60 MAX leads its class on towing, with payload that sits at the pickup median.
The headline number here is towing: 3,500kg braked, the highest figure of any pickup in our database, shared only by the strongest rivals. Payload sits at 1,050kg, in line with the class median rather than standing out, but still enough for most trade and fleet loads. Gross vehicle weight is 3,250kg.
Load space is workmanlike rather than generous: a load length of 1,485mm at the floor and a maximum load height of 530mm. Overall length runs to 5,395mm with a height of 1,870mm, so this is a full-size double cab that needs normal pickup parking and height clearance checks on site.
Against named rivals, the Volkswagen Amarok Style matches its 1,050kg payload and 3,500kg towing at £46,870 ex VAT, while the Toyota Hilux Active undercuts both on price at £34,670 ex VAT with slightly less payload. The Isuzu D-Max EV offers the same towing but only 163 miles of range, so it suits short, predictable routes rather than towing-heavy work.
Best for
- operators who regularly tow at or near 3,500kg
- mixed trade loads needing a solid mid-pack payload
- fleets wanting a full-size double cab pickup
Think twice
- load floor length of 1,485mm may be tight for long materials
- CO2 at 239g/km on the WLTP cycle, worth weighing against business emissions targets
- compare against the Volkswagen Amarok Style, which matches payload and towing
Written 8 October 2026 from the verified figures on this page and the rest of the THRIVE database, and checked figure by figure before publishing. How we check
Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Isuzu D-Max EV eDL40 4x4 Double Cab, the closest alternative across the electric line, for a typical working day.
Workable, with planning
- Range. 100 miles a day is close to a planning range of about 114 miles: workable, but cold or heavily loaded days may need a top-up.
- Payload. The electric version carries 30kg less (1,020kg against 1,050kg).
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 20.9p for diesel: roughly £2,725 a year less at 25,000 miles.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 163.2-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.35 kWh a mile: THRIVE's typical figure for an electric van (this van's usable battery is not verified).
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); a typical 36mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
Indicative only: a guide to whether electric is worth a closer look, not a quote. For whole-fleet costs see fleet charging costs and van break-even.
