The Nissan Navara is the epitome of bakkie meets 4×4 meets beast on steroids. I’ve had the pleasure of driving one of these and for some reason I felt like it was recreating the appeal of a sports car, but the bakkie-version of that. OK, I might be over-excited, but I think you get the picture.

For a vehicle weighing over 2 tons, it handles surprisingly well, although its size is a bit of a problem, especially when trying to park. It is very long, but I suppose this is a bonus if you’re actually using the loading tray at the back, which is significantly bigger than most of its double cab competitors.

The 2.5 diesel engine is powerful enough and I can only imagine the torque one would get from the 4.0 litre engine as you would probably be propelled from here to the next province with the slightest touch of the pedal.

The spacious and luxurious interior comes with all of the comfort elements one would expect from a top-quality SUV and it is often easy to forget that you are actually in a bakkie. Think electric windows, climate control, excellent CD/audio system, cruise control, etc. Boy, how times have changed.

With it’s straight lines and rigid body, this is the bakkie of bakkies, or is it the 4×4 of 4×4’s, or, well, whatever you decide to call it, the Nissan Navara is most definitely the one to have if you’re that way inclined. Hmmmm… I think I’ll have my Nissan Navara in black, please?

The Ford Explorer 2008 ’s five-door SUV styling is clean and uncluttered, while the interior is one of the finest Ford’s put in a truck yet.  Although engine performance is mediocre, the midsize 2008 Ford Explorer deserves consideration from anyone shopping for a traditional SUV with substantial towing and hauling capabilities. But for those who just need a family cruiser, newer seven-passenger crossovers provide more space, superior driving dynamics and slightly better gas mileage.

Performance

Two underhood options are available on the 2008 Ford Explorer: a “revised 4.0-liter V6 engine” that Kelley Blue Book says makes “210 horsepower” and “254 lb.-ft. of torque,” while those in need of more power can turn to a “4.6-liter V8 engine with 292 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque,” according to Edmunds. Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show that neither engine is particularly impressive in terms of acceleration, with ForbesAutos describing the V-6 as “barely adequate.” Edmunds calls the engine performance on the Ford Explorer “mediocre” and says that the engines are “weak” when “compared to competing SUVs,” thanks in part to the fact that “a 4WD Explorer equipped with the V8 takes a mediocre 9 seconds to reach 60 mph.”

Completely redesigned, the Scion’s iconic xB has grown in size, style, power, and features. Remaining a fully loaded high-value package with either a 5M or 4A trans as its sole factory option, the slightly softer-edged xB now boasts a 158-hp engine, enhanced driving dynamics. The current Scion xB was all-new for 2008. Although it maintains the previous generation’s boxy profile, it is a much different vehicle, with larger dimensions and more thrust. A 2.4-liter inline-4 shared with the Scion tC and Toyota Camry boosts output to 158 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Fuel efficiency went down, but we think that’s an acceptable trade-off considering its substantial acceleration improvement.  xB was praised by critics for its defiantly unstylish appearance, its beefed up four-cylinder engine, its safety features, and its reasonable (but growing) price tag.

Price Range: $16,230 – $17,275
