South Africa may still have some way to go to replicate the level of extremity the US market enjoys when it comes to customising a pick-up truck. That said, the 2019 arrival of the previous generation Ford Ranger Raptor – followed by the 190 kW V6 TDI Volkswagen Amarok one year later – signalled the steady rise in popularity of the leisure-focused double-cab. The latter genre has developed an intriguing sub-plot within the significant local bakkie market and will soon include the new Hilux GR Sport (see page 40).
