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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And with demand has come a range of almost constantly updated models from both established names in the industry, and newer entrants.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We take a look at the cheapest and most expensive double cab bakkies in the country in each range of the more established brands.<\/p>\n

Topping the list of affordable double cab bakkies are brands that come from India and China – manufacturing heavyweights.<\/p>\n

The Nissan Hardbody is extremely well priced in this segment helped by the fact that it is locally built. Similalrly, the Ranger also has a local manufacturing plant here in SA.<\/p>\n
