Unlike its predominantly Thai-built rivals, the Volkswagen Amarok hails from the land of steak and the tango: Argentina.
Also unlike most of its rivals, it offers a six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. It's a 3.0-litre mill, and it sits above a more typical 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder.
The current model was developed solely by Volkswagen, though it'll soon be replaced by a model that shares much with the next-generation Ford Ranger. That should provide the Amarok with long-awaited active safety technology, the biggest downside of the current truck which is otherwise ageing like a fine Argentine Malbec.
The 2020 Volkswagen Amarok range kicks off from A$38,490 (plus on-road costs) for the "Amarok TDI420 (4x2)" variant and finishes at A$72,790 (plus on-road costs) for the "Amarok TDI580 ULTIMATE 4MOTION" variant.
Depending on the variant, the Volkswagen Amarok may be built in Argentina, Germany or United States Of America and is then shipped to Australia.
The 2020 Volkswagen Amarok has a braked towing capacity from 3000kg to 3500kg depending on the variant and an unbraked towing capacity of 750kg.
