Volkswagen Amarok Pickup Truck

D0901831 820F 4E32 8FF5 67FC92FF1D44 Volkswagen Amarok Pickup Truck

Volkswagon is showing off the vehicle it will be using as part of it’s sponsorship of the Dakar Rally in South America and it’s a truck.

I like the look of the Amarok (which translates into Wolf in Inuit), it kind of looks like a smoothed out Honda Ridgeline.

Wikipedia has the specs.

The Amarok range will consist of single cab and double cab, combined with either rear-wheel drive or 4motion four-wheel drive, and powered by Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines.

I would like to see the Amarok come to America. But it probably wont due to the chicken tax which is a 1963 tax that imposes a 25% tax on potato starch, dextrin, brandy, and light trucks.
