One model that you will most likely want to check out is the new Isuzu bakkie. I recently test drove a few variants of this awesome new machine and it has come up with flying colours in my evaluation.
The Isuzu bakkie is available in a number of body configurations and engine derivatives. I have test driven the automatic 3.0 diesel 4X4, which provides exceptional control, so much so that I could move the car one millimetre at a time and it performs off road with alarming capability.
I also experienced the extended cab and found the cargo boxes to be a unique and ingenious innovation. The fact that they can lock and that they can be removed all together is just so versatile.
Then there is the new KB 250 Fleetside Single Cab, which I also had the joy of teat driving. How can test-driving a single cab bakkie be a joy? You ask? well taking into perspective the exceptionally low running costs and I was already smiling. Isuzu are known as bakkie specialists in SA and the 2.5 litre low-pressure turbo diesel engine has proven to be really popular with everyone from farmers to miners, even green grocers.
The engine produces 58 kW of power and as much as 170 Nm of torque, giving the baby KB plenty pulling power, even under load, and consumption figures averaging 7.8-litres per 100 km on a combined cycle. All Isuzu KB models come standard with a 5 year/ 120 000 km warranty and a 5 year/ 90 000 km service plan.
