Problem highlighted in red. vs the alternatives in blue. R200k-R270k premium is crazy. Is ford and toyota worth a premium? 20% probably, but not 50%

You know how many GMW i see and Jencoos or what ever they called im seeing latley in my area

From Land Cruisers and Jags to this everyone has moved on to chinese cars its simply just cost saving for most.

and even if you go to Toyota that new ones grill is fuggly as hell personally bakkie wise id love to get a Ford Ranger (Raptor) or a Mitsubishi or even that Peugeot

But IF the price is right yeah id want to save 200k
