Those other utes are not as desirable in spite of the V6, not because of it.

In terms of sales, there's Hilux, Ranger and daylight to the rest, so if Hilux and Ranger adopt
a V6 diesel as their main engines, they will probably gain even more sales over the rest.

Falcon Ute had a six cylinder engine and 195 Kw, maybe Ford and Toyota are tapping into
buyers who miss that smooth ease of performance, maybe just the shear grunt of a V6 diesel.

No single or space cabs. No selection of 4x2. No cab chassis models, no manuals across the range, not a great network out of the city’s.

But I tell you what the amarok is the only one I would buy. I just jumped out of a 6 month old sr hilux into a near on 100k old amarok and the vw is better in nearly every aspect. At the company I work for the amarok are the ones everyone fights over getting allocated.

I have a 2.8 twin cab with trade type lockers on the back. If l have to manoeuvre around on ruff ground or even the slightest slope low revs off turbo no power at all. Heaps of revs clutch smokes, have to use low 4 which can be an pain to select in and out of. So more torque down low would be great. Having said that have used Hiluxs for 30 or years with out to many drama’s.

Yeah. I meant it looks like a Ford.

V6 makes up the biggest slice of Amarok sales though. Like 70%. Proves that if people are given the choice they will take the bigger engine.

They all know australians love bigger engines. It’s the reason amg only bothers selling the higher power v8 S models like c63S and e63S. They don’t bother selling the non S models cause they know we want the more powerful ones.

The lack of rear seat airbags would also remove the Amarok from many buyers list, especially if the vehicle will be used as a kid carrier.

In the Ranger the 5 cylinder seemed to always the more popular choice for private buyers. Anyhow according to people on here the small engines are good enough because people buy them when there's no other choice.

No guarantee they have fixed the DPF issue on the new model?
