This is the V6 VW Amarok we need in South Africa

@mark-qi6di 4 жыл бұрын

Funny how he had to basically explain what low-range as if it's something new - well, maybe for VW, they realised that a ute needs one. Kudos to them though, for making a V6 with a manual box and low-range. I think that's an awesome package!

@karlsenden599 2 жыл бұрын

They’ve always had manuals with low range. They were released initially as manual only, with low range before they had auto’s without it.

@148Reaper 4 жыл бұрын

All the utes are very close to each other in service costs, there is capped price servicing and service plans you can buy to make it even cheaper. Gotta look at price per km not per service unless you just about never go anywhere with the car and is serviced annually not when it reaches its km.

So is this part time 4WD and only 4WD on loose surfaces or does it have a centre diff?

@Drivecomau 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike - this is a traditional 4WD system. The car runs RWD until high/low range is engaged via the torsen center dif. Further you can lock the rear differential for even more control.

@THEROADSMITH 4 жыл бұрын

CarAdvice.com Are you sure it has a centre diff?

@mikewasowski1411 4 жыл бұрын

Bill Collins indeed. If it had a centre diff why not run permanent 4wd like almost all other 4wds with centre diffs?

@Christoph1888 4 жыл бұрын

@@Drivecomau Transfer case with centre diff? Isn't that an oxymoron.. I'm guessing the torson has been replaced with the transfer case. You generally only need a centre diff if you plan on driving in 4wd on high traction surfaces.

@Exodos1234 4 жыл бұрын

@@andre899 Sure esp helps a lot but it cannot overcome physics, also proper off road tires make a huge difference and give auto Amarok extra abilities. Surely if you want mostly off-road then go for the manual (even though it is a rather short UTE for purely off-road driving), if you need an all around UTE go for the auto, safer and more convenient.

@andre899 4 жыл бұрын

Exodus D I think that the 4motion system also cannot overcome physics, it depends more the way you drive. I never have an issue driving a rwd. For sure off-road tires are welcome. For me the ideal is the automatic transmission with low range traction. That I don’t find in the amarok, but any other pick-up have this option.

@148Reaper 4 жыл бұрын

I thought the same, my previous amarok has cloth seats with neoprene covers which was awesome, my new v6 came with leather which i didn't really want, but if you spray and wipe them like once a month and have a tint and use a windscreen shade when parked up, then they actually are quite nice, they arent hot or sweaty and stay looking good, mud oil grease all pretty much clean off with no effort.

@klavier285 4 жыл бұрын

The car I have now has leather seats and I have to say they're overrated. I'd rather just have cloth seats, with leather you have to worry about them drying out or wrinkling which results in them looking like crap. With cloth seats I didn't have to worry about anything other than animal hair clinging to the fabric.
