Epic Overlanding in the V6 Amarok across Oman - Saying goodbye to Volkswagen's big bakkie

[@VeeElJay]

I spent 18 years in Oman. Watching this video makes me want to go back. Such a beautiful country. Amazing people. Pure bliss.

[@compositestudios1204]

You should come to Lesotho, perfect landscape for 4x4s

[@Luceq]

Damn this place is awesome… cheers from Australia!

[@muaazabowath]

Do more of these type of tours and videos 😍 love it ❤

[@teboholenyatsa3746]

Quoting your words "The next generation of Amarok will be a Ford Ranger under the skin, and so this is the swan song of the Amarok as we know it. The new generation arrives in South Africa in early 2023."...this just warms my heart 🙂 looking forward to the new Ranger (both 184kw Wildtrack and the 292kw Raptor).

[@kaylinclaudepillay268]

Man i hope they use Vw engines The ford ones seem to be useless High claims but never delivers

[@gregboyes9785]

One of your better presentations. Well done! That car will be a collectors dream soon....

[@luyandajojo8925]

I want one the last production versions that will roll-out & keep it until it falls apart

Woow that’s awesome specially the hotel in a desert

[@andilentuli7126]

Watching the Amarok on Voetspore really showed off its ability. It's unfortunate that VW didn't give it a major aesthetic overhaul over the last decade. Perhaps it would have helped with sales competition against the Ranger and the Hilux.

Snapped Cambelt......had to Fly a Technician from S.A with a New Head..and Tools......Bumped into one another how many times, because they could not stop - would say that is a Reflection of their Ability. It is Highway Trotter, not a Worker.

@@raymondmalan487 What are you on about?! Did you watch the video? Terms use "these bakkies already did this trip 5 times" and "over three extremely hot and brutal days in Oman, we didn't have a single issue". You are probably a toyota or ranger fanboy.

[@raymondmalan487]

@@jacoprinsloo199 ...and you a Amarok Fanboy.....I can't remember asking for your Opinion on this...

[@henrysithole3623]

My favourite bakkie, would still love to own one used in the future, V6 ofcourse. But the Amarok inspired Ford to develop their own Bi-Turbo and now the V6. I would say VW had something to do with that.

[@henrysithole3623]

@@f0nte1n yeah but never introduced on Ranger until now that they are in alliance. That V6 diesel in the F-150 only lasted like 3 years because Americans love their petrol trucks. At the end of the day, VW does have a say on their requirements of their product. Hence the new Ranger will have a slightly wider wheel base. This is to enable to fit a pallet between the wheel arches on the tub, which Amarok has always been able too. So yes VW inspired Ford to redevelop the V6 diesel but this time for the Ranger. Because on F-150 it was not as popular as the 3.5 V6 ecoboost petrol.

[@howardkerr8174]

@@henrysithole3623 Interesting theories about Americans and their trucks...but completely wrong. America has very strict emissions standards for diesel powered vehicles, as strict or slightly stricter than Europe. The price differential between a gas powered pickup truck (bakkie) and a diesel powered truck is quite significant. (Sometimes as much as 5-7% of the asking price of the truck.) Ten years ago, before the stricter emissions standards AND the necessity to add DEF (diesel emissions fluid) to diesel fuel that is currently 25% MORE expensive than petrol, diesel powered pickups were a decent financial proposition...nowadays they are not. Nowadays there are 2 reasons buyers in America choose diesel over petrol trucks: the badge and the massive torque for towing. Ford (probably?) did away with the diesel powered F-150 to concentrate on the electric F-150, which will be a much more sensible proposition. And as far as diesel powered pickups, Americans still buy them but for towing VERY LARGE/HEAVY loads. I wouldn't be surprised if someone develops an electric powered truck to take that portion of the market, too. BTW, a gallon of petrol is currently about $4.60, a gallon of diesel is $5.28 PLUS there is the need to add DEF (prices are EXTREMELY variable for that) every couple of hundred miles.

[@lesegomojelele7747]

Thank you ciro Really appreciate the content

[@brucepeters5100]

I have the v6 Amarok and I would like to know what Ford parts will be in the new one. I love mine but at some time it would be replaced. When I heard Ford will be building the new Amarok I was disappointed to say the least and I said to myself that the last Amarok I would buy would be from 2021 and not later.

[@dayalanvelan3070]

Absolutely agree with you. Let's hope they keep the Audi v6 diesel and World best zf transmission. The Ford 10 speed is not even close to the zf. Greetings

Still have the Watermelon Bucket Hat ...Ciro 😅😂

[@raymondmalan487]

Why go to Oman.....Hilux Owners does this Every Day in S.A on Farms - Amarok Not a Bakkie, but a Leisure Vehicle. Great Vid.

[@fredman7680]

Where is this place

[@kamohelomotasi]

I like that watermelon hat, it also suites you 👌🏽👍🏽

[@danielngada9939]

Beautiful review as always. Please explain which country was that 🤩

[@Carscoza]

Oman

[@johanneswehrmann]

If the new Amarok’s body panels don’t line up, you’ll know it was made in a Ford factory. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ziyakhalamanje6182]

3:46 was interesting 🤣 😂

[@WethuKhoza]

That Mitsubishi stuck in the sand dunes was publicly humiliated by a mere drone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnandersen1139]

I have owned 3 Amaroks the last and still is the V6 Extreme. Please note VW, I will never buy a Ford.

[@germanspec586]

We'll be buying the current 2022 amarok v6 extreme, i do not trust the new amarok thats coming in 2023 because it will be built by Ford and we all know ford rangers don't last , so I would rather settle in for the current one

We have filmed it, video coming soon!

[@sorrysimon2024]

Please stop saying my car will be a ford ranger,l. Ford has a 3.0 V6 engine which i think is derived from the VW Amarok right?

[@mathysdupreez602]

If I dont have it wrong, its the Powerstroke Diesel used (but now discontinued) in the F-150 Stateside. The petrol is Ford’s Ecoboost 3.0 V6. No VW engines in sight.

[@mathysdupreez602]

The powerstroke V6 diesel is at heart the same motor used in V6 Land Rover diesels. Should be all good for reliability then…😆

[@sonic4urmind722]

Peugeot Landtrek review please

[@philipsnyman1407]

I owned one and everyone i know who has had one and used their bakkies for work and touring all dont have it anymore because either had nonstop problems or are running on new motors. Was a very nice bakkie just reliability tend to not keap up.

You know what does this mean? It's about to get cheaper as the new one comes

"Next generation of Amarok will be Ford Ranger under the skin"....what do you mean by that?

exactly that... the new Amarok is made by Ford and powered by Ford just with VM trim and badges...

@@ChilternburtYT wow 😜 I don't ever want a Ford vehicle, even if its the last vehicle on earth...I was thinking of getting a Amarok V6, so now I think his price is going to sky rocket now in South Africa, and bakkies is already so expensive

Why would the Amarok be a Ford clone?? Everyone knows how Nissan Merc collaboration went. The Amarok will be a VW with a VW engine built by Ford.
