Once you have decided to purchase a bakkie, you will be faced with the option between a double cab bakkie and a single cab one. It may seem like a simple decision, but it is not always as clear cut as that. You need to make an informed and clear headed decision, as this will be a vehicle that will accompany you on many journeys. There are a few questions you should ask yourself.

Firstly, how will you use your bakkie? If you are going to be using it for off road travelling, you must consider the size and ability you would like to work with. Both a single and a double cab bakkie will work excellently in off road terrains, but you also need to consider the passengers you will have. Most people will not have many passengers accompanying them on difficult off road travelling, so a single cab should be sufficient.

However, on the other hand, if you are going to be using your bakkie for holidaying reasons, and you will have your family accompanying you, then a double cab would be right for you. Having a double cab bakkie will go a long way in ensuring comfort on long journeys. There will be more space for your passengers, luggage, and anything else you wish to take along. Even if you are going to utilize your bakkie purely for urban use, you need to consider how many passengers you could ever realistically have at one given time. Should you need to carry more than two passengers, a double cab would be the right choice for you.

It can be disconcerting to have to choose between the two, especially as there will be a price difference. If it assists in more comfort for yourself and your passengers on journeys, then you should consider making the investment.
