Someone needs to test how that fancy electric bed cover works when there’s a foot of solid frozen snow on it.

All bed liners should be spray in, so much better that those crappy plastic ones. I have had both and I will NEVER buy another ute/pick up with a plastic liner. Cheers from Australia. Great video.

I have a 2023 2.0 wildtrak and a 2023 Amarok style premium v6 right now. The wildtrak is hands down the better of the two. The same car but actually so very different.

And what do you think about this one?
@hedydd29 ай бұрын
My local dealer is unusual because it is independent and family owned but has the official franchises for VW and Ford, including both brand’s trucks. So although I chose the Ranger, it was before Amarok was available, and I may well be tempted by a PanAmericana from the same dealer to keep my New Generation Ranger company when the time comes to change my 2014 Ranger. I prefer the VW’s looks apart from anything else. There may be a slight price premium but the specification tends to be slightly better and the warranty is longer to mostly compensate. It may also be the case that the badge means a better resale value for Amarok?

I have the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0 version which, unfortunately, does not come as standard in the UK with the ceiling switch pack, wireless phone charging or inverter for 230V low current use. I also have a 2014 Ranger and for the most part the new one is a big advantage. The main ones being the rather good 2.0 205hp 500Nm engine and stunning 10 speed automatic. The bed is great but as you say, the roller cover takes up rather too much room at the front of the bed and is vulnerable to damage from, say, 600kg tote bags or 1000litre IBC’s pushing forward on steep slopes or during emergency braking. The VW has quite a few extra features such as the surround cameras and 12” driver’s display that are only found onto top versions of Ford, but Amarok does cost more. The Amarok also has a standard five year warranty here compared to Ford’s three. This is a far more convincing relationship between brands than the one between Nissan and Mercedes X Class which was cynical money grab attempt by Mercedes which hardly convinced anyone. The Amarok gives a convincing alternative brand and style to the Ford for a competitive price. This is great because the two brands will sell vast volumes which will eventually mean more availability of parts and better products.

Quite good review Marek, but comparing WildTrak to PanAmericana just in the dimension of price, is weird. PanAmericana (and Aventura) have different shock absorbers and, compared to Wildtrak, a 12" dashboard. So the price i higher, but so is the equipment. Noticed few other small inaccuracies, but dont remember them (saw the video last evening :).

We sat in one at the dealership, it's a fancy car. I'd feel hesitant about getting in with muddy boots on, so we're clearly not the target market. Who is?

You could say this about any new car. Get some rubber floor mats, and off you go to the building site.
@hedydd29 ай бұрын
@@MarekDrivesENG Yes, the rubber mats fit perfectly and my pickups get heavy daily use including towing trailers regularly up to the maximum allowed 3500kgs. They also get very dirty but the faux leather upholstery and rubber mats wipe clean easily. The chassis does need a thorough waxing inside and out [if not done at the factory, which is possible] to slow down corrosion when working in mud, cow excrement or salty water.
