The What Van? Road Test: Volkswagen Amarok (2023)
Date: Monday, October 2, 2023
Load bay
Access to the cargo box, which sits on a ladder frame chassis, is by means of a lockable tailgate which drops down horizontally. As with all modern purpose-bult pick-ups, a bulky rear bumper – which incorporates a step – prevents it from dropping down completely.
Six load tie-down points are provided plus a styling bar which sits above the load bay. Gross payload capacity is a VAT-efficient 1,060kg, while braked trailer towing capacity is
an impressively-beefy 3.5 tonnes.
The VW logo plus the embossed ‘Amarok’ name would make sign-writing the tailgate something of a challenge. The cheap and tacky-looking ‘4Motion’ stickers on the body’s sides would get in the way too and should be removed.
