Anyone know what double-cab pick-ups have FT 4x4?

I know the 90's L200 doesn't but the new model does. I know the defender 110 and 130 do.

Hi-Lux? Navara?

I didn`t know there was any full time 4wd pickups (or why you`d want one) but the Isuzu Rodeo `switchable` was the easiest system I` ve tried.

Thanks. Regarding the reasoning, I always found the laughably low limts of rear grip whilst unloaded rather tiresome and frustrating after a few hours. Especially in the wet and on mt tyres...

The new L200 can be run in 4wd at any speed (unlike the old one), it has the same system as in the Shogun. It also has stability control that helps to reign in the back end when you are in 2wd.

You could go for the Walkinshaw Performance upgrade. Replaces the rear leaf spring with coils, still maintains the payload but makes it handle fantastically.
