Volkswagen Amarok – pickup with four-cylinder 2.0 TDI and six-cylinder 3.0 V6 TDI: single, double and Plus cab in long and XL form, 120 to 177 kW, 4MOTION four-wheel drive

The Volkswagen Amarok launched in 2010 as the brand's first internationally scaled pickup, built at Volkswagen's Hanover plant and in Pacheco, Argentina; with a box-section frame, double-wishbone front suspension and steering unusually precise for the class at the time, it positioned itself as a driving-dynamics answer to the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi L200. DC denotes Double Cab with four doors, SC Single Cab, XL and XXL extended load beds, and 4MOTION the selectable or permanent four-wheel drive.

The register lists 18 versions with 120 to 177 kW from four- and six-cylinder engines of 1,968 to 2,993 cc, unladen weights of 1,990 to 2,550 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,820 to 3,500 kg, lengths of 5,181 to 5,900 mm and widths of 1,820 to 2,000 mm.

The Amarok positioned itself as a premium pickup with car-like handling and established the lifestyle-capable double-cab pickup category in Europe alongside classic trade and construction-site vehicles; the later V6 TDI of up to 3.0 litres underlined its ambition as the segment's flagship.

When buying used, check for rust on the load bed and rear leaf-spring mounts, the condition of the dual-mass flywheel and dual-clutch unit on automated transmissions, stone-chip damage to the front end, and the service history of the four-wheel-drive system; parts are supplied through the regular Volkswagen commercial-vehicle network.
