Ford Ranger →
South Africa's second best selling bakkie and the closest thing the Hilux has to a genuine rival, built at Silverton in Pretoria and exported worldwide. The range runs from single cab workhorses to the V6 Wildtrak and the 292 kW petrol Raptor. Resale values are among the strongest of any locally sold vehicle.
Known for: sa-built bakkie with hilux-rivalling resale
Peugeot Landtrek →
Peugeot's one-ton bakkie launched locally in late 2021 with a 1.6 turbo petrol double cab, then expanded in 2024 with 1.9 diesel and single cab workhorse models from R396,900. Spec for the money is generous. An unfamiliar badge in bakkie country means resale trails the Hilux and Ranger by a wide margin.
