Hi all, I am thinking about buying a new 4x4 ute and I'm tossing up between the
Toyota Hilux and the Volkswagen Amarok. Does anyone have any opinions
about which is better and why?

Hi Terry,
I do not think performance should be considered. Both are adequate. I would be thinking about use. If used daily & say, 100 klms per day or more, go for diesel, otherwise petrol engine. I would be thinking about servicing costs, availability of knowledgeable service people, availability of parts & resale value. In all cases, the Toyota ticks all the boxes. I have heard stories of high maintenance costs & delays of parts for ALL VW's. Resale values on all good Toyota's is high.
