The most affordable of the 3 brands of NEW minibus we sell (other 2 are by Foton & Toyota). A huge amount of practical vehicle for very little money.
STOCK CLEARANCE PRICE ON THESE – opportunity to get a bargain while our supplier clears the space for new 2024 stock
New and unused King Long Placer is actually the same vehicle you could have bought as a Toyota Hiace as late as 1995 / 1996
Still being made……Still powered by the Toyota 3Y petrol engine, just a different manufacturer.
The 3Y engine has proven reliability that also powered the Toyota Hilux and Toyota Surf in it’s day.
Back to the days of carburetors (no fuel injectors to clog up). For the younger among you….carburetor technology is super easy to manage in Africa.
BUT before you go further ….also CHECK OUT THE FOTON C2 MINIBUS which is the next generation along of Hiace (by the Foton brand this time)
The 4Y engine fitted in the Foton is a bit more powerful and a bit more economic to run but the 3Y engine in this King Long is described as having ‘bulletproof reliability ‘ by the off road community (even today) and it is the simplest to maintain.
A zero mileage new King Long could be an amazingly good value addition to your project for the same cost as an 12 year old Hiace with 300,000 Kms on the clock but with no wear and tear.
You may ask…..Would we buy a King Long Placer? YES…..one is on order for our own project in Sierra Leone right now.

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.
At West Africa 4×4 we are delighted to be able to supply them and see them as a great option if you need a vehicle for a project and you don’t have a huge budget.
At the moment we are working on each order on a case by case system and very happy to provide a live quote for your particular location and need, so feel free to ask the questions you have.
A transparent off the shelf transaction, on a budget, we are combining maximum quality with the confidence and expectations associated with some of the most trustworthy names the industry.
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.
