Its nice car and really confortable for journeys. I have 2.0, but that 3.0 is a beast Just to note that it is not DSG transmission It has torque converter
Thank you for the review, great filming . Like you , mainly road use with a bit of off roading . Just put the deposit on the 2.0 amarok. Can't wait to get it , part exed my Audi Quattro for the amarok, way more comfortable ride in the amarok. Thank you again for posting 👍
Thank you - it was my first attempt at a car review so not as fluid as my normal motorbike riding video's. I appreciate you taking the time to comment - thanks
I also have a 2018 Amorok with the 3L V6 engine. Top spec model but it doesn't have the paddle change. I absolutely love the vehicle, it's great to drive but I have one big major gripe with it. Because I do quite a few short journeys I find that the DPF filter light comes on quite regularly. This is a total PITA! I had hoped that VW would release an ECU update to cure this , but they haven't.
Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying to say the least. I'm not packing large mileage trips and as the car is still fairly new, I guess I may get that in time. As for the flappy-paddles, I think I've used them a few times for the novelty factor and thats about it - I use the switch from D to sports on a regular basis and find that works very well for me. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that
Great review, and some fantastic camera angles! I have to say that seems an odd place to mount a spare wheel on a vehicle with off-road capabilities, it would get covered in all sorts of poo located there, and you could be in a position where you wouldn't be able to extract it if you needed to. (full disclosure I have no idea how it's secured or how you remove it) However, my sister had a Picasso that was secured in a cage in a similar position and that was a right PITA on tarmac on dry 'A' roads.... she never rang me again.... she'd just ring the AA...... :-)
No it's not the VW one. As far as I'm aware VW don't make one for the Amarok - this is the Truckman top-box. Its a great addition to the truck and IMHO makes the unit look a lot smarter and more balanced. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
To be fair it's not bad. We've done 10hrs straight going to the far NW Scotland and it was fine. Arguably its not a family saloon so you don't 'waft' along and if unloaded all of these vehicle types can be a bit skippy.
I keep thinking about a combi cab pickup. However then my head takes over and I realise I don’t regularly need the carrying capacity, but when I do need it I need it! I just can’t decide so I just stick with my 2012 Citroen DS5.
