V6 Highline, dame kit (bar those seats), $59k. Dunno tune, lift and 275/65/18 ATR tyres and you have a 250kw, 650nm gem.
Towing, touring, camping. All for the price of a wildtrak.

Good pts. Except you can’t put family members in the back. Or at least I wouldn’t without the airbags. I value them too much.

@@MEOxley23 I don't know if you know but the amarok is the safest ute on its class even without the rear airbags if you don't believe me Google it.

valdrin ziba really? So if you were t boned, head of rear passenger went sideways and hit side of car, you’d be safer than when in same accident as a Ranger? Pull the other one. You do some proper research of the safety testing they do.

Thanks Matt, yes, the Amarok is a safe vehicle but the lack of rear airbags is a real safety miss. And it misses out on the active safety features the Merc and now the Ranger get. - Isaac
