Hello Mabs

I’m looking to buy a bakkie that won’t lose value quickly. Which brands or models hold their resale value the best?

This is a good question, and bakkies are big investments. In South Africa,
Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger are top of the list for holding their value. They’ve built strong reputations for reliability, performance and parts availability. The Isuzu D-Max also keeps its resale value well, thanks to its solid build and loyal fan base. To get the best return, keep your service history up to date and avoid major custom modifications that might limit your pool of future buyers. A clean, well-cared-for bakkie always tells a good story when it’s time to sell.
