Bakkie Performance Testing: How Quickly Can 7 Bakkies Accelerate and Then Stop?

As part of our Big Bakkie Shootout for 2023, we wanted to test the pure acceleration and the stopping power of each of our 7 bakkies on test. The results were interesting! Watch the video!

Bakkies often have to carry loads which require them to be fitted with better brakes than your average SUV. With a driver and passenger aboard, we tested each bakkie’s acceleration to 100kph and then slammed on the brakes to get it back to 0kph as quickly as possible. Each bakkie was tested 3 times over for consistent data and tested with our Dragy GPS system.

Watch Ashley Oldfield and Gero Lilleike put themselves under the pressure of 21 consecutive sprint-and-stop tests. Which bakkie performed the best in your opinion? Watch th video and leave a comment down below to let us know what you think.
