Volkswagen Amarok emits a sense of rugged class

IN THE normal course of events I would have no hesitation of endorsing the Volkswagen Amarok as being among the very best pick-up trucks we have encountered here at Examiner Motoring.

Indeed, down the years we have had a bit of fun with pick-ups — reflecting their largely American heritage — by comparing different vehicles to various defensive heroes who were legends of American football down the years.

Thus we aligned the great New York Jets defensive lineman Joe Klecko with the indestructible Toyota HiLux.
