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?

Hi
If it were me, I'd probably choose the Amarok. They're both just as practical as each other and I feel the main difference would be in price - the Amarok is a touch cheaper plus it's more fuel efficient.
I think a trip to the mechanics and parts would cost slightly more with the VW, plus the VW only comes in manual which might be a deterrent for some. However, I would overlook both of these factors in making my choice.
