There are many things bakkies are used for but are very poor at: urban driving. Highway cruising. And parking at the mall.
Bakkie opinions are invalid if they are urban. To speak with authority about a bakkie, you must experience it on dirt roads. That's where the bakkie DNA shows its true value. And this is especially true with Isuzu, a bakkie brand which has always prided itself on being built to perform best on dirt roads.
