We have had the opportunity to test quite a few of them over the past few years, and we have put together a list for those who are in the market for a new or used bakkie.
There were a few which we had a brief test with at a launch, but starting from the most recent that we had and working our way back to the first bakkie we tested in 2019, here are some videos to give you a peak of what each vehicle looks like inside and out:
What is your favourite bakkie?
