South Africa’s cheapest and most expensive double cab bakkies
The success of the pick-up truck, or ‘bakkie’ as it is more commonly known in South Africa can be attributed to it versatility, the country’s rugged landscapes and potholed roads, among other things.
Each month Ford, through its Ranger brand of vehicles, and Toyota, through its Hilux equivalent, slug it out to be the best-selling vehicle in the country overall, beating even the far more economically priced VW Polo Vivo.
And with demand has come a range of almost constantly updated models from both established names in the industry, and newer entrants.
The latest to hit showroom floors is the Volkswagen Amarok facelift in April, which followed the launch of the all new Nissan Navara in March.
We take a look at the cheapest and most expensive double cab bakkies in the country in each range of the more established brands.
