Isuzu D-Max →
Locally built in Gqeberha, the D-Max name replaced the long-running KB badge in 2018 and an all-new generation followed in 2022. It sits alongside the Hilux and Ranger among SA's top-selling bakkies and holds value well thanks to its fleet and farming following. The 3.0 diesel in particular has a reputation for going huge mileages without drama.
Known for: unbreakable workhorse reputation and strong 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.
Known for: well-specced underdog bakkie
