Guides
Written against the live market, not from a brochure. Every price in these guides is checked against what is actually listed for sale in South Africa.

The 3,500 kg on the brochure comes with conditions most buyers never read. What each bakkie is rated to tow, what the gross combination mass does to that number once the bakkie is loaded, which licence you need, and which engines are actually pleasant with a caravan behind them.

The standard tyre size for every bakkie sold in South Africa, the common plus-size upgrades and what they do to the speedometer and the warranty, and an honest look at whether an all-terrain is worth the extra R1,000 a corner for the way you actually drive.
