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?

I've been going through the same delemna. the Amorak has a great profile. Toyota are changing their Hilux to comply with the 5 star safety rating required by the mining companies because they have been losing business to the competition. They are adding a reversing camera and drivers' kinee airbat. Also don't just look a the capped price servicing which for the turbo diessels still represents a big investment; also consider how often you need to have the vehicle serviced ie 6 monthly or yearly. Let me know what you decide!
