The robust and practical solution: The Amarok.

Even the toughest challenges are easy assignments for the Amarok: it has been designed to consistently provide high resilience and func tionality from the broadest load area in its category to the standard electronic stabilisation programme, which automatically adjusts to the load conditions, to the comfortable seats in durable Spacer Anthracite fabric. When youre on the road, the RCD 210 radio system with an MP3-compatible CD-player is sure to put all passengers in a great mood. The Amarok offers that little bit extra at all times particularly in terms of its passenger compartment space. Look forward to generously laid out leg and head room, which remains unequalled in this category. And your tools and small objects have also been taken into consideration: lots of practical storage trays provide ample space to store everything in an orderly manner. The vehicle is equipped with a black grained rear bumper as standard. This feature may also be deselected upon demand, in which case the tailboard can be completely folded down at a 180 angle for increased ease of loading.

Load area. Thanks to a loading width of 1,222 mm between the wheel housings, the Amarok can even transport Euro pallets crosswise unthinkable for most pickups. This is due to the fact that the entire 2.52 m load area is used in an optimal manner. If needed, the sturdy tailboard can be used as a practical extension of the load area. As the license plate is not visible in this case, an additional license plate holder is required for your journey. On models without a rear bumper, the tailboard can even be folded down at a 180 angle to make loading and unloading as easy as possible. And to ensure that everything stays in place, the load can be secured on four different lashing eyes using tie-down belts.

Maximum driving comfort, even on difficult terrain this sets the Amarok apart from all other pickups thanks to its state-of-the-art gearbox technology, superior off-road capabilities and optimal traction. On tarmac roads, however, the Amarok stands out for its smooth and comfortable driving characteristics. So no matter whether you are faced with water, snow, mud or extreme inclines, the Amarok will bring you, your work materials and heavy equipment wherever you need to go quickly and safely. This is also ensured by its powerful 2.0 litre TDI engine with 90kW1) or the high-revving 2.0 litre BiTDI engine 1), one of the most efficient engines of our times. The two exhaust turbo chargers provide an impressive vehicle response at low revs and more powerful performance at high revs. With an output of 120 kW (163 bhp) and 400 Nm torque, you can leave everyday behind you as well as high fuel costs. Because the Amarok with rear-wheel drive and the 2.0 litre TDI engine has an average fuel consumption of just 7.3 litres per 100 km.

Rear-wheel drive (not illustrated). During acceleration, the vehicle weight is transferred to the back wheels for optimal road contact. Additionally, rearwheel drive enables steering that is not influenced by the engine torque.

Selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive ensures reliable traction on all road surfaces. Once activated via pushbutton, it distributes 50 % of the engine output to each of the axles to improve forward thrust. An additional gear reduction setting can be engaged to cope with extremely tough terrain or steep inclines. The electronic stabilisation programme also functions when selectable all-wheel drive is activated. And you continue to drive your vehicle with rear-wheel drive when travelling on paved roads.

Safety.
The Amarok smoothly handles even the toughest terrain thanks to its numerous safety and assistance systems. The elaborate technology package, consisting of Offroad ABS and next generation electronic stabilisation programme with hill start and hill descent assistant, is unique in the pickup category. During extreme off-road driving, the Off-road ABS ensures controlled blocking of the wheels so that small bits of material from the ground build up to create brake wedges. This can substantially reduce the stopping distance of the vehicle without having a negative impact on its manoeuvrability. The electronic stabilisation programme automatically adjusts to the load conditions and helps prevent the vehicle from swerving. These measures combined with maximum stability thanks to the robust ladder frame makes the Amarok an ideal partner for the intense rigours of day-to-day work. Anti-theft warning system4). In addition to interior monitoring, this system comprises an electronic immobilizer, a back-up horn as an audible warning signal as well as opening protection for the fuel lid, doors and engine compartment lid.

Heavy duty leaf springs (not illustrated). They allow a payload of up to 1.141 t2), provide a high level of load safety and are so robust that they can even cope with extreme terrain effortlessly.

Differential lock (not illustrated). When the rear differential lock is activated, both wheels at the back of the vehicle are powered with the same amount of force and rotations. This offers optimal traction, even on sandy or slippery surfaces.

Hill Start and Hill Descent Assist (not illustrated). It prevents the Amarok from rolling backwards on strong inclines and allows a comfortable handling of the vehicle when pulling away uphill. Upon activation of the Off-road function, the assistant automatically brakes the vehicle to allow a safe and controlled descent.

Airbags (not illustrated). Every Amarok is equipped with up-to-date airbag technology. Just a few milliseconds after the crash sensors register an impact, the drivers airbag and the front passenger airbag are inflated with a gas mixture to protect the head and upper body area of the passengers. In addition, combined head/thorax airbags are integrated in the sides of the front seats. These are im mediately activated following a side collision.

Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) (not illustrated). If one of the driven wheels has an undesirably high rotation speed (slip rate), the system activates a partial braking procedure. This prevents wheelspin and facilitates a smooth acceleration.

Comfort.
When your day-to-day work assignments are tough and demanding, your journey to work should be as comfortable as possible. Thats why the Amarok offers you a variety of comfortable equipment such as the generous head room and leg room, the optional leather fittings for the Trendline and the Highline including heated front seats, and the high-quality air conditioning systems to make everyday life more pleasant.

ParkPilot, rear (not illustrated). A warning tone signalises the distance to obstacles while driving in reverse. In addition to the acoustic warning tone, an optical signal appears on the display of the optional RCD 310 radio system or the RNS 315 navigation function to show the distance behind the vehicle whilst parking.

Trailer stabilisation (not illustrated). It complements the electronic stabili sation programme: should the trailer start to fluctuate heavily, the system slows it down by means of controlled braking and reduced engine torque. This steadies the trailer and increases driving safety.

Electronic Stabilisation Programme. The electronics help prevent the vehicle from swerving. In order to respond to critical driving conditions, the system evaluates data provided by a network of sensors.
