Think Samil 20 was based on unimog design crossed with a Bedford. Couldn’t get Unimogs because of embargo. I can’t see any resemblance with buffel and Unimog.

Oh , and BTW , my Landy can legally pull a loaded trailer up to 15 kg , whereas those run-around Jap bakkies cannot go more than 750 kg .

15 kg!






My Golf can pull a 20 kg trailer, no problems!
