    Amarok V6 isn't twin-turbocharged. Only one!

    Those speeds sound good for passing road trains along the Stuart Highway 😊

    In manual transmission , it has a low range mode, i assume there a transfer box that miltiplies the torque ?

    I own an Amarok and this review is crap. it a ute not a sports car its designed to go off road not just dribble on the bitumen. I have taken mine on tracks in the blue mountains that are only just wide enough for a single vehicle and walked it over rough country that most people would never do. and all in all it gets my seal of approval. Oh and I served in the Australian Army in transport so I have the experience

    You guys should really edit your video and correct the mistake you made, it's not twin turbo, especially being car journalists is says a lot about your research, do you guys even open the bonnet?

    Omg you’re reviewing a car and you don’t even know it’s single turbo😳

    Not the best review imo, but Nürburgring and autoban are crazy. Then I hear Leman, and I was like:" No no no, this guy has Los his mind. Please no, don't do it for view rate, it s just stupid. Oh, spend the night in the amarok s bed after watching Leman? That s close enough". It was fun to watch this video.

    If the Hilux is Japanese, the Amarok ; European, What does that make the Ranger?

      Ironically, the Ranger is not (yet) sold in the US. The Holden Colorado is equally weird; it is essentially a Japanese Isuzu D-Max with an Italian engine.
