1. Ford Ranger WildTrak
SA is the undisputed bastion of bakkiedom. So we decided to drive the latest offering to take on the mighty Hilux: Ford's unashamedly "blinged up" Ranger, the WildTrak.

2. Toyota Hilux
Toyota's best-selling bakkie is facing a sterner test than ever thanks to improved offerings from competitors. Can the Hilux hold onto its hallowed crown? We drive it.

3. Chevrolet Utilty
The new Chevrolet Utility has been accused of not being as easy on the eye as its Corsa-based predecessor. We drive the 1.4 bakkie and end up thinking about lingerie models.

4. Nissan NP200
Today's consumer looking to buy a bakkie in SA's half-ton segment isn't exactly spoilt for choice. In fact, there are but two options. We sample the Nissan NP200 1.5dCi.

5. Mazda BT-50
Laptops, cellphones, and the average politician's frontal lobe - they're all shrinking... unlike the new Mazda BT-50 bakkie. We drive the frankly massive double cab.
