VW Walkinshaw Amarok.

Or stick with an unbreakable Hilux.

Due to the amount of tradie P players having accidents in them, the insurance is high like what happened to wrx's.

Hilux to expensive I'm looking at 40k Max Amarok looks nice just worried about parts

Off road 4x4 nothing crazy fishing camping. My work can get dirty so don't want to worry about getting mud on floors.

If you were at all thinking Hilux, definitely avoid the diesel Hilux. I generally suggest avoiding diesel anyway as it's extremely terrible for the environment, but even more so for Hilux. Pretty sure they're facing multiple lawsuits because their diesel filters are crap. But if you travel long distances and want to save money on fuel then diesel is good until you have to go up a hill.

Have heard that the Amarok is decent. I prefer the D Max myself but Isuzu are a bit expensive now days.

I've heard Navaras are pretty decent. Same with BT50's.

Love my nav it's always been great off-road but it was gutless towing up mountains until I got a Jamie Knobel remap. Now I'd easily snatch big Lizzo's chassis out of a bog hole.

Don't listen to @Hacky McAxe he probably drives a Tesla with <200km range. Diesel is the only decent option and Amarok is about the worst 4x4 you can buy, constant 4wd garbage doesn't even have low range.

Rg Colorado or Dmax would be my pick

How rude! Having a BLM number plate on a white Ute. Have some respect!
