There is no hiding the fact that the design is old – 16 years to be exact – and very utilitarian with little indication of any aerodynamic research. But with the Karoo touches applied this bakkie has a unique appeal that is hard to explain.
Chunky 245/75 R16 rubberware ensures you don’t have to stress about the paintwork on the shiny rims when venturing over gravel, while the deep loadbin with fastening hooks located on the outside seems ready for any job. It has a rated payload of 995 kg and braked towing capacity of 2 500 kg.Unique experience
This truck-like sensation is heightened with a strange vibration or “after shock” as we called it throughout the cabin every time you turn off the ignition. The Mahindra Pik Up managed to complete the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in a very credible 14.76 seconds, which means it is definitely not the slowest double cab around. And that is exactly why Road Test Editor Mark Jones tests bakkies, because if they are bought for leisure purposes its performance will always matter.
