The Hilux is probably the best around . If I would be pulling 2-3 ton trailers most days of the week , a 3 litre Hilux would be my choice .
As far as tests in magazines are reliable , the Amarok seems to be top class . Compared to Hilux , Navara , L200 , ....
By far the biggest inside , with most room for legs , etc .... The biggest loading room . Almost as comfortable on the road as a normal car . In this part he was much better than anything else. And on top exeptional off road qualities .
With this you get great looks , german engineering and a proven engine out of the tansporter T5 , wich is very economical on fuel .
I've never seen one , never owned a VW and even being a Hilux man , I probably would have a look at that Amarok first .
The conclusion of most tests was , VW came , looked around and made the best vehicle in this type of cars .
Time will tell .
