Pros and cons
What’s good
- Indestructible commercial benchmark: Highest resale retention and universal spare parts availability across East Africa.
- Sub-2,500 cc duty advantage on 2.4L GD-6: Qualifies for KRA's lower 25% excise tax bracket.
- Extreme 286 mm ground clearance: Easily wades 700 mm deep water and tackles severe muddy upcountry tracks.
- 3,500 kg braked towing capacity: Excellent towing capability for heavy commercial trailers and equipment.
What’s not so good
- Unladen leaf spring rear ride stiffness: Firm rear bounce when driving without cargo payload in the bed.
- High KRA CRSP customs valuation: Heavy import duty investment compared to older utility pickups.
