Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has been teasing the second-generation Amarok for nearly two years, but the midsize pickup has yet to be revealed. Switching to the updated T6 platform used by the 2022 Ranger, the new truck could spawn a high-performance version to take on the Blue Oval’s Raptor. As a refresher, Ford will unveil its speedy ute sometime next month.
In the meantime, the Australian magazine Cars Guide sat down and had a chat with the local VW Commercial Vehicles Director, Ryan Davies, about the future of the Amarok. He said that even if Ford won't allow VW to access the Ranger Raptor's parts bin, there is a backup plan should a hotter Amarok get the proverbial green light. How? By teaming up once again with Walkinshaw.
