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 been around both of these utes. Our family has had both for work utes. Persnally I would not go past the Hilus. Although the Amarok was very nice to drive and ther was a touch of class (if that is possible in a ute). The resale value was not there and the servicing costs were rediculous. We also found that as we use the tray of the ute daily that the back of the VW was far to high to be practicle.
As for the Hilux we have had both engine types. Unless you are going to buy a petrol engine unless you are will to have the 2x4, they use too much fuel. The other also has far better resale.
I hope this helps.
