The VW Pick-up excels in comparison to its competitors with a loading depth of 1555 mm and a loading area of 1,620 millimeters. Practically, the low loading height of 780 mm, which was achieved because the leaf springs were arranged under the rear of the leader - this saves valuable design height. For the first time also Euro pallets (1.2 x 0.8 meters) will be loaded across space. Besides the implements Amarok offers a payload to transport up to 1.15 tonnes, the possibility of sports equipment can also be. And on the hooks up to 2.8 tonnes may be taken. This should be sufficient even for very serious horse trailer.

Technology and driving: Even if the Amarok visually reminiscent of the VW Touareg, it affords the pick-up and not its comfort. His qualities come in the day to day work to advantage, even if you dress up this pick-up to a lifestyle object. Powerful speeds up the 2.0-liter BiTDI - a four-cylinder TDI with bi-turbocharging and 163 hp - the nearly two ton VW Amarok, already at 1,500 rpm mobilized the common-rail diesel substantial torque of 400 Nm . The force is transmitted via a standard six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels or all-wheel drive version on both axles. The 4MOTION version costs about 1900 € extra cost and makes the Amarok a genuine SUV. The switchable four-wheel drive system provides a rigid through drive to the axles for heavy routes there is an additional area reduction - even 100-percent slopes with an inclination of 45 degrees at full load no problem. And by Wasserfurten runs the Dakar Rally-tested Amarok even then, if they are half a meter deep.

Conclusion: tasks which will test the Amarok drivers not in our area sooner. Only good thing that VW offers the lifestyle-oriented customers an attractive list of Yamaha accessories. Besides the basic equipment (no air conditioning), there is the Amarok as Trendline and Highline, which are expensive up to 37 169 €. The main application area is South America. There, about 50 percent of the Amarok-production to be sold, only about 20 percent of VW exported to Europe - this is Greece's largest pickup market.via
