Toyota Hilux and the Volkswagen Amarok. Does anyone have any opinions
about which is better and why?

No vehicle is as unbreakable as they used to be. They all have crumple these days I would take into consideration the length of your bonnet. If you are unfortunate to have a prang or hit an animal the front end is more likely to move backwards. I have seen vehicles that it has happened to. If you are going to travelling where kangaroos are I suggest you add some type of protection to the front of your vehicle A relative of mine hit one when it hopped across behind cars travelling in the opposite direction straight across in front of them. A Toyota Corolla, $8000.00 damage. Some of the parts had to come from Japan but that would be quicker than Europe anyway. Luckily they had insured it at a set value or the insurance company may have written it off. It was still driveable but not roadworthy, mainly because all the front lights on the left hand side were smashed. They drove it back to Adelaide from Horsham, after they had stopped and made sure that it wasn't leaking fluid at all. It didn't affect the steering either. Fortunately they were travelling at the town speed limit at the edge of the town and no faster or it would have been much worse. The kangaroo kept going and went into bushland. They couldn't find it or they would have gone back into Horsham to see if they could get help for it.
