Ford Transit Custom
Ford’s Transit Custom slots in as the sweet spot for South Africans who need proper carrying space but don’t want to wrestle a hulking full-size van through city traffic. The rivals—Crafter, Vito, HiAce—are familiar, but the Custom splits the difference on price and everyday liveability. Only diesel here, either the outgoing 2.2TDCi (in 92 kW or 114 kW) or the newer 2.0-litre, with a choice of manual or auto. On paper at least, choice looks thin: seven active listings, ranging from R199,000 for older 2.2s to R789,000 for newer 2.0-litre automatics. That steep median—R580k—tells the story. Most buyers are chasing the newer, pricier stock, while the older 2.2s are more about clearing out fleet leftovers than offering a cheap way in. If you pack smart, the 2.0L LWB Base 6MT is the one to shortlist, with prices landing between R579,900 and R678,800. Those wanting a bit more flash—and the convenience of an auto box—will eye the 2.0L Sport 6AT, nudging up to R789,000. The cheaper 2.2TDCis (R199,000–R329,900) average around 89,530 km, which is honest mileage for vans that’ve seen steady graft, not just showroom polish. What tips the scales for the Custom? It’s simply easier to drive—feels less like a delivery box, more like a passenger car when you’re slogging up the N3 or battling downtown traffic. The cab’s quieter, the ride’s more civilised, and if you’re running deliveries in Joburg or Cape Town, the automatic actually matters. That’s the point.
Ford
Ford’s reputation as the bakkie brand in South Africa isn’t just marketing — the stats back it up. Scroll through the 850 Ford listings and you’ll see prices from a humble R67,500 to a sky-high R1,580,000, but it’s the R479,900 median that tells the real story: this isn’t a bargain-basement badge angling for the cheapest deal. Ford’s got real presence where it counts, with 199 new and 651 used vehicles showing that there’s appetite for both the entry-level and the upmarket stuff. The competition is fierce — Toyota, Isuzu, Volkswagen — but Ford keeps its foothold by blending capability with a dealer network that actually covers rural and urban South Africa. Most buyers aren’t just commuters; these are owner-drivers who need their vehicle to earn its keep, not just look good in the Spar parking lot. Ranger runs the show, no question. With 449 listings between R109,000 and R1,335,000, that’s everything from a work-worn fleet special to a Raptor that makes you think twice about chasing Land Cruisers up Sani Pass. Everest brings the same basics but for families, offering seven seats and a price range from R112,900 to R1,310,331. If you’re after something smaller, EcoSport and Fiesta fill the city-car and compact SUV slots, with used Fiestas dipping to R67,500 — if you pack smart, they’ll handle Joburg traffic or Durban rain. Bakkies and SUVs make up most of the action, petrol and diesel are still king, and while plug-in hybrids barely register, Ford’s habit of loading cabins with more tech than rivals at the same money is what the Ranger should have been from the start. That matters.
