It had to be done. A list of the fastest locally-available Bakkies (Afrikaans for pick-up trucks) we’ve ever tested, ranked by the best 0-100km/h acceleration time achieved out of a minimum of three runs.
Please note: this list only contains Double-Cab Turbo-diesel Bakkies!

En die regte plek in die Kaap is natuurlik die Franschhoek Motormuseum wat deur die Rupert familie met hul sin vir geskiedenis en tradisie ‘n paar jaar terug op die been gebring het. Dit was dan ook hier waar die lede van die Kaapse Alfa Romeo Klub op 27 Junie hulle skitterblink vuurwaens kon vertoon.
