South Africans love both, and for good reason. The SUV gives you space, comfort and safety for the school run and the holiday to the coast. The bakkie gives you toughness, towing ability and a load bin that earns its keep.
Think about your week, not your dream weekend. If most trips involve people, an SUV usually wins. If most trips involve equipment, trailers or site visits, the bakkie is the workhorse you want.
Still torn? A double cab splits the difference — crew comfort up front, work capability out back. Come drive both back-to-back at our Strand showroom.
