Renault Alaskan pickup gallery 2017
The Renault Alaskan is the French manufacturer's first pickup truck 
Despite its unique design, you might spot some similarities with the Nissan Navara That's because the Renault Alaskan, Nissan Navara and Mercedes X-Class all share the same underpinnings The Alaskan goes up against stiff competition like the Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux and Volkswagen Amarok They're all members of the one-tonne pickup class, able to carry just over a tonne of cargo in their load beds Thanks to its powerful 2.3-litre diesel engines, the Alaskan can also tow 3,500kgs The Alaskan also has selectable four-wheel drive at speeds of up to 62mph and low range gears It's a handy feature for a pickup often required to access muddy construction sites or farmland Fuel-economy also isn't too bad for such a large vehicle, with 45mpg possible with the manual gearbox fitted The Double Cab interior is comfortable and spacious, even for backseat passengers
