The Volkswagen Amarok came to fruition in 2010 as a result of extensive work that started back in 2005. As a mid-size pickup truck, it fulfills the need for ample cargo space, transporting goods with a very high volume while satisfying the need for a comfortable car in day-to-day life.

While being a standard for quality, the new Amarok succeeds in filling the boots of the last generation regarding practicability, reliability, and versatility. The new model encapsulates all the off-road capabilities of its predecessor in a way more impressive package, using up-to-date materials and technology to provide its users with a well-rounded experience.

The interior is marked by the leather inserts on the instrument panel and on the door trim surfaces and by the digital cockpit, which optionally can have up to 12 inches. A high-end Harman Kardon audio system accompanies all the delicate touches.

The model is based on the Ford T6 platform and shares multiple features with the Ford Ranger and the Ford Everest, making it quite a unique Volkswagen. It comes in four variants: Life, Style, PanAmericana and Aventura. The options vary from a standard-equipped truck to a premium one ready to take on tough off-road challenges.

The customizability extends even to the engine and transmission, and the car can have a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive complemented by an engine ranging from an inline four 2.0 L to a V6 3.0 L capable of 236 horsepower. The Amarok also has an impressive towing capacity of 7000 lbs, made possible by the automatic transmission, which enhances the engine's power in the best way possible.

From the standpoint of cargo capacity, the loading area can impressively fit a Euro pallet loaded sideways between the wheel arches and has sturdy eyelets that can help fix it. Volkswagen offers the option of a hard top or a roll cover, marketed as accessories meant to help you accommodate different types of cargo in the back of your truck. Also, the roof has a load capacity of 700 pounds, more than enough to pitch a tent or have some extra storage while camped.

Regarding camping, the new model aspires to handle well all the off-road encounters that may interfere with a smooth and fun drive. For instance, the fording depth was extended by 11 inches, totaling a staggering 31 inches. This feature may help you get to previously unreachable spots where you can set your camp deep into the wilderness.

The charm of the Amarok is that while it can perform outstandingly on various terrains, it can also be the smooth ride you enjoy on your daily commute to work, making you feel pleased when you spend time near the truck or in it, while you're stuck in traffic.
