Title: VW Amarok good bad or pikey
Post by: Thecrawf on August 03, 2011, 06:57:21 pm
What do u guys think?

Looks like a toe rag from the front but a l200 pikey scrap metal truck from the rear

But being VW it will be highly regarded

One for the New Forest middle class fox hunters maybe

Saw my first one today and it didnt look much different from all the other 4X4 pick up styles out there.

I've had one on a 24 hour demo and it felt cheap inside. Invincible is better

In my fantasy:
VW would offer a no-spec one but with 4Motion and the 2.0TFSI/TSI (I prefer the older block).

Then I would put on a rollcage, a million spotlamps, and go ridin' around with my posse in the back.

I like it, a lot more than the equivalent L200's e.t.c

Good, you should see what they can do off road, in Germany they had 4 of them pull down a 300ft chimney....torque is unreal, not pikey at all, the stocks that we had coming in all sold within 2 weeks, that's how popular they are
Cheap to buy brand new  :smiley: costs really isn't as much as pepole think

So I know what tool to buy then if I ever need to pull an old chimney down lol

Is there going to be anymore engine choices

Also is this a completely new engine or does it share it across another platform?
