Offroad focussed comparison of the 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak V6 and 2023 Volkswagen Amarok PanAmericana V6, including the VW’s unique suspension.

These two utes / pickups / bakkies share the T6.2 toolkit platform, and a 3.0litre turbo diesel V6 engine with 184kW (246 hp). But the two are remarkably different to drive, especially onroad – even if they are similarly good offroad.

The Amarok and Ranger compete with other utes, like the Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton, Mazda BT50, Isuzu DMax, and GWM Ute.
