Tough as an Amarok
You haven’t seen a ute like this. Engineered for rugged conditions, the Amarok PanAmericana's2 powerful engine and serious towing capability tackles any challenge. So you can haul on the job and go off-road on the weekends.
Tough jobs, sorted
With 3.5 tonne braked towing3 and up to 974kg payload4 capacity, you’re ready to haul any workday loads and weekend gear. Plus, a wide tray and 350kg static roof load means you can easily load a Euro pallet out back or a roof-top tent up above. There’s a 230V power socket paired with a 400W inverter in there, too.5
All the power you need.
And then some.
More torque than you can poke a stick at. Whether you choose diesel or petrol, the optional 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine boasts 600Nm of torque, so there’s no off-road situation you can’t handle.
Built for rugged conditions
There’s no terrain too tough for an Amarok. Be ready for anything with up to 6 drive modes (Normal, ECO, Slippery, Mud, Sand, Towing) and rear locking differential standard. You’ll also find full mechanical low range gearing and permanent 4MOTION drivetrains for maximum capability.
Comfy as an Amarok
A ute you won’t want to get out of. The Amarok drives like a dream even in the toughest terrain – with tech and interior features you didn’t know you could ask for.

Couch, meet ute. An expanded wheel base gives you even more leg room, so you can stretch your legs on a long day. And Volkswagen’s custom seat foams with added bolster support keeps you snug and comfortable. You’ll probably want to get out to sleep, though.
