The original VW Amarok changed the ute, pushing out refinement and drivability boundaries. The new version is based on the Australian designed and engineered Ford Ranger, and shares its underpinnings, most powertrains, safety systems and structure.

Super-sized US-style pick-ups - like the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado - are hot stuff right now, but modified versions of existing Aussie-market utes are another way to get yourself into a jumbo utility.
