Personally, without bringing in other 4x4's, I'd go for the VW.
While Toyota has always been "unbreakable" and their enjins last forever, it is the quality that I find more appealing in the VW. The finish inside the cabin and the feel when you drive it. All other things are comparable on a per situation basis... so if you're going to take it to the dunes, if you're going to stick to roads 99% of the time, if you're going to be hitting traffic, towing a large boat, each of these actually count in a different ute's favour. Most of those, I believe VW.
Since you worked for the money, I'd say: "Pick the Quality" you're willing to pay for. If you're going to go new, get the best deal from both, compare it $ 4 $ as well a value for money from each ute... after sales service, cost of services as well as trade in when you're done... if not, and you want to keep it forever, don't even measure it... Measure what you're going to utilise. Diesel is becoming so expensive that I don't know if it will add the value you get out of it, as your requirements to service is higher - power over performance requirements are the other things you need to think of then - as well as Turbo Diesel over V6 Petrol, etc... If money is no object - the sky is the limit...
All I can say is, Enjoy this time while you do your homework, it's almost the most fun you're going to have!! (While the money is in your pocket!)
