No, a lot of we are going to the new Toyota Hilux is not in this corner of the world encounter, its strong reputation despite. But suppose that you for some reason however, the choice between these two workhorses, which one should it be?
Since 1968, the Hilux is one of the pillars of the Toyota range. The action in Top Gear, where the Hilux is indestructible, found, gave, but once again demonstrate the sustainability of the Japanese pick-up. When Volkswagen in early 1989 the Taro presented, the spiritual predecessor of the Amarok, it was even nothing more or less than a Toyota Hilux of the fifth generation with a different logo, put on the nose and the cab.
Ten years after the introduction of the seventh generation, now is the time for Hilux numero 8. To say that Toyota has made the comfort, without the robustness overboard. Under the hood lies the reason that the Hilux in the Netherlands never a hit will be: a 2.4-liter diesel engine with 165 hp, or a 2.8 with 177 hp. Interestingly enough, the two viercilinders, which by the way is money for the 2.7 petrol. Only the 4.0 petrol has a V6. Of downsizing or hybrid technique is the Hilux obvious wars.
This is the Volkswagen Amarok. Well, there are smaller diesels than the 2.0 TDI, but for a pick-up is this zelfontbrander on the small side. In terms of stroke volume, because the power with up to 180 horsepower, even slightly higher than in the Toyota Hilux. Remains only the question of whether it all stays put. In Defence, they think, in any case, however, there is the Amarok the new light off-road vehicle of choice. But are you convinced or do you still prefer for proven Japanese engineering?
