Jim Autos UK is UK's Most Trusted Exporter of New and Used Volkswagen Amarok Pickup and all other pickups and SUVs

Volkwagen's most awaited pickup is finally here and available for sale at United Kingdom's top dealer and exporter Jim Autos UK. With Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and pickups gaining popularity everyday, introduction of VW Amarok made eminent sense. VW wants to be world's largest auto maker by 2018 and with Amarok pickup (or ute, bakkie or LCV) it has come one step closer to its stated aim. So important is the success of this vehicle to the Germans, that they had even built a mini makeshift town and named it Amarok Town. Complete with wooden walkways, street signs and cleverly designed themes throughout. It is among the very few vehicles that have earned five-star ANCAP safety rating, and its double cab also happens to have the largest load area dimensions in class.

The Volkswagen Amarok is a mid-size pickup truck built by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV). The Amarok range consists of single cab and double cab, combined with either rear-wheel drive or 4motion four-wheel drive, and is powered by Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines.

Volkswagen incredible expertise in off-roading (think Touareg and its Dakar cars) had all been put to use in the Amarok. Having built so many performance cars (think Volkswagen R line, Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, etc.) over the years, the Germans certainly know a thing or two about ride and handling and they’ve applied some of that to the Amarok design.

The only problem is its meager availability. Its wordlwide demand exeeds its supply. Its demand is so high that VW cannot make enough of them and VW has to ration these country by country. 900 units allotted for UK for this year have all been claimed and next year VW has allotted 2000 units and they are certainly not going to be enough.
