    Not just us saying it's the best, the Amarok placed in the top 2 of pretty much all the motoring magazines best ute lists of 2014 (the model we are using), splitting the top spot more often than not with the Ranger. Hilux was an also ran. Time may tell, the new model might have the goods, but personally, I think it looks pretty average.

    As voted by motoring magazines, not the general public. Maybe it is 'the best' but hardly anyone wants it.

    Motoring magazines are often more interested in on-road performance and fancy gimmicks than off-road capability and long term durability.

    Was NZ4WD Magazine. Understand that everyone has their preferences and respect that, but we've had three hunters and show sponsors now that have gotten behind the wheel of our truck, and then decided to jump ship to the Amarok. It's a pretty clever piece of machinery. Twice in the past two months I've taken it well beyond where the local farmer thought we'd be able to get it.

    One thing I don't like about it though - it attracts the scumbags. Had about 10K worth of hunting gear stolen out of the back tray and the LED Light Bar pinched whilst it was parked up in Canterbury recently.

    I didn't think there were any criminals in the South Island. You have been the victim of SI wealth redistribution.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I look forward to meeting you one day Rushy even if it is only to adjust your taste in beer and trucks.😆

    Hell, if you owned a .270 you would have enough to place "coded" gay personal ad in the paper.😆

    Hunting mate wanted.

    Looking for a like minded person to share my best hunting spots.
    I have my own (insert any ute other than a Toyota) and private land access. Always have heaps of spare .270 ammo. We can crack a can of Waikato at the end of our successful hunts together.


    Fukn Yoo!!! Hoooo! 😆

    Really, umm, I have a .270. Had two at one stage a while back. Will be my pleasure to meet up one day.
