South Africa’s best-selling bakkie is also its most hijacked vehicle. Hilux bakkies hold their value, their parts are in constant demand, and they are easy to resell or strip across the border.
The Hilux tops the hijacking list because everything about it has value: whole vehicles are driven across borders, and engines, gearboxes, lights and body panels feed a large parts market. Double cabs and newer Legend models are especially targeted.
For a Hilux, a tracker is less about knowing where you parked and more about getting the vehicle back fast. Look for a plan with a strong recovery network, jamming detection and 24/7 monitoring.
Ranking source: the most-hijacked vehicles list published by BusinessTech in November 2025, compiled from police, security-company, insurer and tracking-company data. SAPS recorded 4,533 hijackings in the most recent quarter at that time, about 50 a day.
Insurers often require an approved tracker for high-risk vehicles such as the Toyota Hilux, or offer a lower premium when one is fitted. Ask your insurer which providers they approve before you sign a tracker contract. Read insurance-approved car trackers and how a tracker can lower your premium.
Work bakkies and farm vehicles often sit in open yards overnight or travel on rural roads with poor cellphone signal. A plan that combines GPS with a radio-frequency (VHF) backup, such as Tracker’s network, keeps working where GPS/GSM is jammed or out of range.
