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 have not driven either vehicle, so this is only general advice. Gut feeling is that the Hilux would be the safer bet as it has a longer track record in this country. If your out in the country you are more likely to able to find parts for a Toyota rather than the VW. I'm certain the VW is a well made vehicle however being European spare parts going to be expensive and could be hard to find.
