When you think of Volkswagen, you probably think of reliable family cars or the iconic Beetle. But in 2023, Volkswagen surprised everyone with a new version of the Amarok, which was presented at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. And no, it wasn't just a regular Amarok - but a Volkswagen Amarok & Alu-Cab Overland. This one was equipped for real adventures!
Volkswagen Amarok & Alu-Cab, based on the updated Ford Ranger T6 platform, has received some interesting upgrades from the company Genesis Import GmbH from Schwarzach. And if you think this is just another fad, you're wrong. The Amarok was equipped with an Alu-Cab tent, canopy and internal camping solutions. For those who don't know, Alu-Cab is one of the best manufacturers of off-road equipment in the world. So when we say the Amarok is ready for adventure, we mean it!
But wait, that's not all! The Volkswagen Amarok & Alu-Cab also got a raised suspension, BFGoodrich AT tires and even extra lights for those night drives Scandinavian forests or traveling to "exotic places". Ironically, this car is now better equipped for exploring the wilderness than most of us are for a typical trip to the grocery store.
Under the hood Volkswagen Amarok & Alu-Cab hides a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine that produces 238 horsepoweri and 600 Newton-meters (443 pounds) of torque. All this power is transferred to the 4Motion four-wheel drive via a ten-speed automatic transmission.
