We put the new Nissan Navara to the test against the new Ford Ranger Fx4! Watch the video to see how these double-cab bakkies fare in Part 2 of our test.
The bakkie market is truly thriving in South Africa and motorists have never had so much choice. The Ranger Fx4 is a new edition to the leisure bakkie market and South Africans had to wait a good while for the new Nissan Navara to arrive in local showrooms, but it is finally here and Nissan is confident that this is the bakkie to set new standards in the segment.
In Part 1 of this head-to-head test, we reviewed the on-road comfort of the Navara and Ranger Fx4 and took a detailed look at the interiors. In Part 2, and with both bakkies loaded with half a ton of water, we set off into the hills of Backsberg Estate to test their 4×4 capability. Watch the video to find out which one of these bakkies performed better in this comparative test.
We couldn't have made this video without the generous help of the people at the beautiful Backsberg Estate. With a top-notch restaurant, wine tasting and cellar store on the property, the winery is leading the way in terms of modern farming practices – it was the first carbon neutral wine farm in South Africa.
