South Africans love bakkies but ownership is more than just looks, power, and Instagram clips.
In this video, I take a real road trip from Zeerust to Johannesburg in a Ford Wildtrak X and talk honestly about what it’s like to live with a bakkie in South Africa.
From comfort on long drives, fuel costs, size and daily stress, to safety concerns and reliability conversations.. this isn’t a brochure review. It’s real ownership, told from the road.
This video is for anyone thinking of buying a bakkie, already owning one, or simply wanting to understand why bakkies make sense for some people — and absolutely don’t for others.
📍 Route: Zeerust ➝ Johannesburg
🚗 Vehicle: Ford Wildtrak X
A big thank you to Ford South Africa for the opportunity, and to Mzansi Petrol Heads for the continued support and love for real car culture in South Africa.
