4x4 Australia Ute of the year: Amarok!

[SS_01]

I wonder how many of you bashing the Amarok have driven it over a great distance? I have, in fact, when they first came out, i had the pleasure of driving it over a 1000km trek. I have to say, it was the most comfortable 4x4 dual cab ive ever driven over sustained period of time. As for the Horsepower, learn to drive it and it will never be lacking, proven by me getting a speeding ticket overtaking near Yea..oooppps. Honestly, the Hilux and Navara are just pretenders in this game now, the only two that are worth a look are the Amarok and Ranger. The Ranger is good, but even a Ford Engineer who i Know (and shell remain nameless) explained to me the Ranger is simply left behind next to the Amarok on and off road.

btw, check out the rear leaf springs on the Amarok compared to the rest, they are much thicker and also have far more room to travel than the competitors.
