SEE | These 4 half-tonne bakkies are no longer for sale as new but they're still popular in SA

 • Some of the options include the Ford Bantam and Chevrolet Utility. 
 • The Nissan NP200 serves as the best (and only) half-tonne bakkie option in SA. 
 • Half-tonne bakkies are most commonly used by logistics businesses. 

The answer to that is tough because there is one, and only one, still sold as brand-new in South Africa, and that is the Nissan NP200, priced from R210 500. And it's the automaker's bread-and-butter offering selling more than 1 000 units on a monthly basis. June saw 1 249 bakkies sold compared to 554 Navara models. So whether you're a Nissan or NP200 fan or not, you'd be forced to purchase it if it's a half-tonner you're looking for.
