New Toyota Hilux v VW Amarok: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

Who’s ready for a Toyota vs Volkswagen pickup truck showdown?! We’ve got the new Hilux going up against the Amarok!

So how do the stats for these two compare? Well starting with the all-new Hilux, it’s powered by a 2.8-litre 4 cylinder diesel which can produce 204hp and 500Nm of torque. It weighs around 2.1 tonnes, and when new, will set you back about £40,000.

As for the Volkswagen, well that’s powered by a 3-litre V6 diesel, and as a result, it can put down 258hp and 580Nm of torque. It’s slightly heavier than the Toyota, at 2.2 tonnes, and it also costs slightly more, coming in at £43,000.

So the VW clearly has more power, but will the extra weight drag it down? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I fucking love the VW AMAROK V6. I enjoy servicing them at work

[driftydegree]

You know this is what I wanted to see now.

[XBelliboniX]

As a pilot, I was crying when Mat saw the paper cup on the runway and DIDN'T PICK IT UP.

[eliaslundstedt]

Having driven an Amarok just like that, having it done a kickdown from 2nd to 3rd at like 10 mph, I got to say, I am surprised at how fast it is, for being a pickup

[dxnwxir]

Matt sounds like Caleb from Clarksons farm🤣

[OFFROADandSTUFF]

Next race: VW Amarok vs VW Up GTI, they both have a ~16 second 1/4 mile time 😏

[kingshawn]

Damn that amarok sounds kinda like an American v8 diesel

Hi Mat !
I just want to let you know that these Toyota’s S mode stands for sequential (kinda manuall). In Toyota’s these transmissions mostly acts as a gear limiter meaning that if you put it in 2-3or 4 for example the transmission will shift normally until the selected gear on the display on the dashboard. However the S actually makes the car a little more sporty because you can hold the gears a little longer than if it was in D (Normal mode) . I can tell because I have a 2015. Rav4 with practically the same gearbox with P-R-N-D and S (+/- ) on the side.
And also the car goes in S4 because it’s a safety measure to prevent any damage to the transmission while switching from D to S while drive for example.
Hope that helps you understand 😁 .
And I hope you’ll see this message 😁👍🏾
