I know most on here are USA dwellers and dont get these so I thought I would post up a couple of Pics of my Amarok.

It is a great on and off road vehicle and when compared to other utes of its class it wins hands down.

If anything could improve it would be the power. It only runs a little 2.0l Twin Turbo Diesel but what it lacks in power it makes up for in Torque.

I get 1000klm from 80 Liters of Diesel ( you will have to convert that to imperial sorry )

VWoA.

And the fact that we have at least 6-8 other truck makes here already. Even though 3-4 of them are just re-badged copies of each other.

Are they available in Mexico guppysoup? I saw one in Berlin over the summer and fell in love. They are stunning IMO. So is this named a Amarok too and is this a 2014 or 2015? If you have a dealer link in Mexico can you post it? If possible can you post your dash? Enjoy that beauty.

I saw one of these in Costa Rica a few years back. Love at first sight! Dang chicken tax!

This one from Mexico was at a show in Kitchener, Ontario (Berlin Klassik, 2015). The owner had brought in to a local VW dealer (Guelph VW) for service. They detailed the truck and invited the owner to show it.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, these trucks were not sold in the US, they were not sold in Canada either, so a rare sight. I posted these pics on a thread referenced above, here they are again:
