Stretched VW Amarok is an epic tourer | 4X4 Australia

Some people just want to do things differently, be that for the challenge, to stand out from the crowd or just because they don’t like more mainstream offerings available. Ken Miller is one of those people that really just wanted to try something a bit different for his next 4x4 project.
With a stretched wheelbase, more than 200kW at the wheels and a sweet canopy set-up, this Amarok is ready to tour: www.whichcar.c...

Finally one that's not a 79 or 200 audio needs a bit of work..BTW nice job on the rok..

[@dshiningsword2427]

I wonder why VW hasnt launched a 7 seat SUV based on this ute!

[@jzawh]

Can't stop this Rok!

[@michaelmclaughlan2531]

How do you find the 31.5 inch stedi light bar at night on long remote highways? I can't decide if it will be acceptable or if I just get the Net 4x4 bracket and fit spotlights.

[@fourage5995]

Can you learn how to mix/balance audio? Can't hear a word he's saying or being deafened by the music

[@doofushipster5440]

What did the chassis extension cost?

[@nileshjaduram8617]

Beauty rig

[@t4172]

Would be so overloaded

[@musokid89]

nice build but the Amarok has no airbags in the 2nd row for those kids so it scores low on safety ratings. That's why you don't see as many of them around for family touring rigs.

[@Coopsoldman]

That's not exactly correct. The safety rating is one of the best of that generation of dual cabs, it just doesn't have rear airbags to achieve it...

[@musokid89]

true, I should've clarified - not safety ratings but it often scores lowly on independent car reviews for safety due to the lack of 2nd row airbags. still a great car but I just wouldn't put kids in the back seat.

[@muzaferovic12]

79 Landcruiser doesn't have rear airbags and everyone drives them. They don't even come with anchor points for the baby seats.

[@matthewbrooks5013]

Wow it's not a cb, it's a uhf!! And it's not a truck lol

[@jorjimaco5331]

Looks heavy.

[@geoffreyanderson1758]

Sorry bud i like my atacama more. Looks better too

[@daveallen4878]

And no low range,

[@MathoAU]

don't need it

[@isaac.explorer.oficial]

First gear is pretty slow. And if you add the ARB Airlockers, nearly nothing will stop this rig.

[@isaac.explorer.oficial]

@@daveallen4878 even being a non-English native speaker , I truly know now that you’re under serious brain troubles.

[@Coopsoldman]

That's only autos. First gears ratio in the auto is equivalent to a low range 2nd gear

[@martinwolmarans1833]

Your point?
