Could be a late old one or early new onemate has just got a new hilux. 70 plate invincible x. He isnt impressed at all. very agricultural sounding and feel to the interior. Would that have the new engine?

Last time I sat in a hilux I thought the cab was very poor, and you felt like you were sitting on the floor such was the seating position.mate has just got a new hilux. 70 plate invincible x.

There’s one big difference you haven’t mentioned , Permeant 4 wd on the Amarock which makes a big difference on icy roads, hitting water at high speed and where roundabouts have diesel spilled on them etcI have had a Ford Ranger Wildtrack quote with the same spec as an Aventura Amarok priced to me today at £33,950 + vat. The differences are its on 18 inch wheels where as the Amarok is on 20 inch and the ranger is a 200hp 2.0l 10 speed auto while the Amarok is a 258hp, 3.0l v6 8 speed.
So the ranger is £6,000 + vat cheaper than the OP's 8,000 mile Amarok. Had the Amarok been new and they have not discontinued them, them I am not so sure it would even of been £6,000 and would probably be closer still because 18 months ago a V6 Amarok Highline was low 30's + VAT.
Yes i know but someone said it will be a ford ranger re badged!. It will in effect be an amarok rebadged as a ranger if you use that logic!

Funny that, the VW salesman told me the opposite!. I do hope they keep the v6 engine option on both though
Thats exactly right....designed for short arse japs. Probably not allowed to say that nowI had a hi-lux on hire for a few weeks a while back,felt like sitting in a canoe whilst driving
Got to be too many gears for a working pickup surelyDefinately not the case. It will be using Ford engines possibly a v6 of theirs. It will have the Ford 10 speed auto and will be using the Ford chassis
Why, can’t see a problem as long as they have the control software right. Keep the engine at optimum revs when pulling hard for example.Got to be too many gears for a working pickup surely
Yep my dmax is the same, crap gearbox. Bought it as was supposed to be good on fuel, currently doing 8mpg worse than our LR which is 100hp moreWhy, can’t see a problem as long as they have the control software right. Keep the engine at optimum revs when pulling hard for example.
Unlike my new d max which never seems to be able to decide on a gear when towing at highway speed
Where do you know this as fact from? Curious?Definately not the case. It will be using Ford engines possibly a v6 of theirs. It will have the Ford 10 speed auto and will be using the Ford chassis
I dont think it will basically be a ford ranger with different badge. Not sure where this is coming from?
Some talk of the v6 returning in the new one.
No sh!t!It will be whatever the customer wants to hear in the garage they are in at the time, just so long as they buy one.

Buy mine if you want £45k seems it’s going to be a classicmost days I wish I still had my amarok.
