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?

Both are excellent vehicles. If you are still on the fence after a test drive, I'd say toss a coin for it. In fact, do that in front of the dealer - that should be good for a discount on something!.

Except...

VW lose marks for playing on the German Car thing while they are actually built in China.

So it's Toyota on a recount.

Whichever way you go, get the diesel. Not just for the fuel economy, also for resale and servicing costs.
