    Took the Amarok for a spin before the rain set in, very nice. Quoted ground clearance is bullshit, but you won't rip the fuel line off them like the hilux
    Good space in front, so so leg room in back seat. Engine fine nothing special to my mind in performance but behaves nicely. Clutch was a little heavy, gearbox not to clunky.
    Typical service costs no worse than elsewhere certainly better than some.
    Was offered what I consider an acceptable deal.

    Hopefully have time to drive ranger/BT50 in weekend.

    Hey Barefoot let me know if you go with Nissan or VW. Mate works at Farmer Auto Vilage in Mt here and may be able to at least chuck in some extra's?
