Harassment when driving a pick up?

I'm considering buying a pick up to transport my own products to NBO on a regular basis from Nyeri.
Everyone I speak to says it's better to pay someone else to do, that police harassment makes it expensive and stressful.
How much police harassment can I actually expect if a pickup becomes my main mode of transport?

Yule mbaya ni yule hakwongeleshi but so long as they open their mouth to speak to you, chances are high you'll arrive at an understanding. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Was pulled over for over speeding somewhere at timboroa in dec for the 1st time. Was doing a little bit over 130 .was worried like you but the moment they opened their mouth the rest flew easily . We reached an agreeable compromise and no one was hurt from the interaction. Usiogope. Maybe cartels don't want you to go alone .they want to eat from you .

I have never seen a pick up that was not stopped by police at the road block. Why not buy a probox or townace, it could serve the same purpose.

Yeah or even better a range rover sports Buy a double-cab pickup with a rear canopy.Tint the windows and you can engage even in (smuggling...pun intended) without worrying about traffic stops.

It's not really about fear it's about efficiency and cost.
I don't want to be stopped and delayed at every road block. I don't want to have multiple arguments with people trying to take my money for no reason.
If you follow the rules and refuse to pay up you can end up sitting there for hours.
Unfortunately you guys have confirmed the same. I think the best way would be to get an SUV and remove back seats, or a double cab with canopy.
