Isuzu KB
Isuzu’s KB was always about utility first, not flash, and that’s why it earned its stripes with farmers and contractors before the D-Max badge came along. It’s not trying to out-chrome a Hilux or out-tech a Ranger. Every KB in the classifieds is a diesel, either the 2.5 or 3.0 D-TEQ, paired with manual or auto ‘boxes. The used market here is tight—just 22 on offer, and only one brand new—so you’re not exactly spoilt for choice, but what’s there is focused. Prices kick off at R138,500 and run up to R379,900, with most examples clustering around the R270k mark. That’s telling: you’re mostly looking at midlife KBs, not fresh-faced showroom queens, and that’s the point. If you need a reliable double cab, but don’t want to live at the mercy of balloon payments, this pool makes sense. Most of the action is in the KB 250 D-TEQ HO Hi-Rider double cab, living between R249,900 and R329,900. But let’s not kid ourselves—the odometers tell the real story, with the average car showing over 209,000 km. A proper inspection isn’t just smart, it’s essential. X-Rider trims nudge R354,900, which feels cheeky considering you’re still buying a workhorse with city-bakkie mileage. What keeps the KB relevant, though, is its honest mechanicals and the fact you don’t need a specialist or main dealer to keep it running. Resale isn’t Hilux strong, but if you rate low running costs and the ability to do your own spanner work, on paper at least, the KB still stacks up for South African buyers who just want a bakkie that’ll take the hit and keep going.
Isuzu
Isuzu sticks to its guns in South Africa—this is not a brand chasing city-slickers or trying to charm crossover shoppers. You buy an Isuzu because you want a bakkie that’ll haul, tow, and not leave you stranded in Calvinia or Colesberg, and that’s been the formula since the KB’s heyday. With 120 used listings spanning a chunky spread from R138,500 up to R959,900, there’s something for the guy with a sheep dog and a fence to fix, or for the family that wants their double cab with leather, nav, and all the creature comforts. Parked right in the sweet spot is that R369,900 median—exactly where you’d expect the volume to be, and where Isuzu’s up against the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, and Mitsubishi Triton. Owners are loyal, often vocal, and they’ll tell you that 3.0-litre turbodiesel is a badge of honour for a reason. It’s the D-Max that anchors the range now, with 85 listings spread from R199,900 to R899,900, covering everything from battered single cabs to the kind of flagship double cabs you’d happily drive to Nelspruit and back. The old KB soldiers on in the classifieds, starting at R138,500, and if you’re after that bulletproof reputation—on paper at least—you won’t bat an eyelid at the basic spec. Then there’s the MU-X, a proper seven-seater SUV, with 13 listings between R369,995 and R959,900; not many, but enough to prove there’s appetite for a ladder-frame wagon that’ll outlast most family hatchbacks. Every single listing? Diesel. No hybrids, no petrols, no electric. Because Isuzu buyers want torque, range, and an engine you can trust when the nearest fuel stop is a hundred kays away. And that’s the point.
