Amaroks are pretty weak compared to the rivals.
The one who takes the cake is the Toyota Hilux. It's a beast. I've never seen one get stuck anywhere and I've tried it many times on rocky roads, dirt, mud, sand, water, you name it.
The Amarok stuggles in sand and, during a test drive, it got stuck in mud. Not worth it for the price.
The Ranger has braking issues where it won't brake straight. The guy at the stand tried to convince me it was the asphalt and not the stuffty truck.
I currently own an S10 because it is what we could afford, lmao. It's basically the cheapest of the cheapest. It pulls you out. that's about it. Chevy isn't really "unbreakable material" here. It's only got 110.000km and it already went to the mechanic about 6 times.
There's a Nissan starting to appear but I don't know anything about it. Not even the model name, to be honest.
shieet i had no idea vw made a pickup. people in the states really miss out on a lot of cars. for example we only got like 3 ute-ish cars here; the subaru baja, subaru brat, and i guess the chevy el camino kinda classifies as one.
Because our previous government, which was corrupt af, gave us a reason to actually need pickup trucks and vehicles with 4x4. You can get a loving Clio with a 4x4. We actually use them for their purpose, not to show off how small our richards are unlike in, Florida, for example, where people buy RAMs 2500+ Heavy/Super duty to use it in a city and keep it as clean as ever.
