Note how I did not choose a winner 😉😎

But yes. There is only one real bakkie in the second video.
It’s also a surprise that they don’t like the Merc that much. It’s only ride comfort and the interior that they like. I suppose that’s all that matters when you buy it

That’s odd. Does the Aussie LC bakkie have a higher tow rating than in SA? Here it’s only 1500 kg.

Pricing in SheepShaggerLandis different to here is SA>

On an SUV comparison they said the MU-X outsells the Fortuner, but in Occupied Aboriginal Territory the MU-X is a lot cheaper.

Yes they need to limit the v6 to 1500kg`s Towing heavier loads will make you run out of fuel between towns. :lol: :lol:
