.VW Amarok pickup is a small gem that's not U.S.-bound:
It will offer a range of diesel engines including a V-6, plus a 298-hp gasoline turbo.
It should be pretty decent off-road, too. Shortened overhangs compared to the old Amarok have improved its ability to tackle a modest level of wilderness, with a 29-degree approach angle, 21-degree departure angle, and 21 degree ramp-over angle. Volkswagen also says it can safely pass through up to 31.5 inches of water—the same figure claim Ford makes for the next Ranger.Volkswagen is planning to offer a multitude of powertrain options. A basic rear-wheel-drive version combining a 147-hp 2.
While the Ranger and Amarok have many shared components, including column stalks, the autobox gear selector, and various bits of minor switchgear, there are substantive changes, too, such as different dashboards. The Amarok follows the example of other recent Volkswagens by having temperature and climate control through its touchscreen; the Ranger keeps physical function buttons.
