We are delighted to offer this pickup truck and we think it offers genuine value and quality. It has been the most popular selling pick up truck in china for 20 years on the trot (selling 230,000 vehicles annually) and represents over half their domestic market.
We teamed up with a very experienced vehicle distributor dealing with many Chinese brands in order to bring a really cost effective pick up to our own clients. They absolutely assured us that having worked with this brand for over 20 years – GWM are the best of the Chinese options in terms of price, build quality and engineering experience and the best long term value.
GWM are expanding globally fast and already well established in South Africa, Australia & New Zealand, South America and Asia and have branches in about half of West Africa so support is there already, but we can support you with spares if in one of the other countries.
To sum it up – it is a reliable workhorse that at the moment you would probably see on a farm before you see it at the beach, but a thoroughly decent vehicle all the same. (we have a petrol one coming for our own project team to use in 2024).
MECHANICALLY
The petrol version is powered by a 2.4 litre Mitsubishi engine. The diesel is powered by a 2 litre engine full of Bosch components. Both engines have already proven very robust.
The diesel engine is designed for emissions level EURO 4 so that means it can handle fuel quality that is typical in Africa. (European spec is now Euro 7 and totally unsuitable for use in most of Africa).
Driving it – it is worth knowing it has a limited slip differential. Electronic 4WD and of course AC.
THE BODY Is based on the ISUZU Rodeo using their frame and so similar in body parts and design that some can even be interchanged.
PRICE FOR double cab versions (before shipping) –
2.4 litre petrol – WHITE always in stock – $16,600
2.0 litre diesel – WHITE always in stock – $17,600
expect $2500 – $3500 shipping cost to West Africa depending on variables
Quotes about these cars…these are pretty typical
South African Motor journalist – ‘these bakkies (pick ups) have proven to be incredibly well-built and solid machines that can take a lot of abuse
And owners – ‘Car is great, I wanted a work horse, does everything I require it for work, aircon is great, heating is great, fuel consumption is good, pulls a load good I wanted a work horse not a show pony,’ (a farmer)
‘Perfect for what I need. Purchased 2 for my pest company, very happy’. (a business owner)
‘I got mine brand new in 2019…. not repaired anything apart from normal annual service. I use it for all my farm errands. I have looked after it very well and it has served me well too. So far I have no regrets with this car and would well recommend to anyone who needs a new double cab for doing things and family rides’. (a farmer)

In fact JMC manufacture the Ford Territory, the Transit van, the Torneo van, and the Everest SUV all under the Ford badge.
We have chosen to promote just one vehicle for now – their pick up – the JMC VEGUS.
Among all the vehicles we have seen – if you just need a value for money workhorse we think that this is a real contender.
It shares the Puma engine that has been in the Ford Transit for years, the London taxi and the Land Rover Defender to name a few, so the engine is well tested. The Vegus also shares a Ford Transmission system, Ford suspension so this is not an unknown vehicle really.
Comes with a healthy guarantee and we are having the vehicles made to order so we can request the fuel system can work with the local African fuel quality and you will enjoy a fuel system capable of handling the not so great fuels available in Africa.
Foton really stand out as the Chinese brand that seems to have had more than other Chinese brands and successfully trading in Australia, New Zealand, most of South America and Asia.
Surprisingly, they are not that Chinese actually…They use Cummins diesel engines, Getrag Ford make the transmissions, Borg Warner make the transfer case and Dana make the axles.
Owners find them good value for money and they will eventually become a worldwide and well-known brand supplying pick-ups, SUVs, mini buses, trucks, tractors and coaches.
Buy them new and they compare in price to many more well-known brands when second hand and come with a healthy guarantee.

It minimises exposure for your organisation, saves time and resources, and knowing that both car and dealership are excellent you can confidently expect the car to have a good working life ahead. The cars are in stock and West Africa 4X4 can deliver them to you at a more cost effective rate than arranging it yourself.
Before being presented by a main dealership, all the vehicles offered were carefully chosen to start with and have passed a thorough test and servicing procedure. Looking great and knowing they are mechanically sound, you really can just choose the one you want and place your order. We will then secure it for you, sort the paperwork, the shipping, and have them delivered to West Africa.
West Africa 4X4 is committed to working at the highest ethical and quality standards and the principal of having vehicles thoroughly examined means we don’t expect unwelcome surprises later on. When you ‘Browse all vehicles’ you will see others professionally vetted and scored – note that we only offer the ones that scored 5/5 mechanically, but for peace of mind and about $150 you are welcome to have a vehicle retested.
Regarding commercial vehicles the procedure is slightly different by providing a final vetting (to the same standards) as part of the purchase procedure.
