2023 Ford Ranger vs VW Amarok Ute Comparison: Shocking Results!

Just want to make a correction, the Amarok and Ranger do not come from the same factory! The Amarok is made in South Africa and the Ranger is made in Thailand. Obviously, South Africa is quite a lot further away from Australia than Thailand - so that might explain some of the more expensive costs!

AMROKKK

I pick up Ranger ❤

Get a Gwm let them have their over price Utes sit on the yard

Ranger looks easy better

Yk, they're both great vehicles, top of the class, so I really don't know which one I prefer, but wanna know which I DON'T prefer? The bloody T O Y O T A H I L U X

Vw cheapening it’s self now for years if you’ve had vw cars golf’s etc you know what I’m talking about they’ve gone all Chinese

Ranger all the way!!!

Ford is the way. My 2023 Wildtrack is incredible.

I buy Ranger over other hammer 😂😂😂😂

The Ford ❤️😉👍🏽

I love a black roof inside

Your talking bullshit mate, they are 4wheel drive you don’t mention these details also if the ford is anything like the last Ranger the engine and gearbox will blow up at 70000. That’s why I never listen to your crap reports.

But there are models above the Wildtrak. Wildtrak X,
Platinum and the Raptor?

do you guys actually think about what you're going to say before you roll the camera? 12.30 to 13.25 or is that normal

These 2 need to get a room. 😂

They both have terrible engine and gear box. Vw made the wrong decision to pair with Ford on this.

ranger wildtrak all the way

The Ranger is ugly…just like the F150 and every Ford produced. The Amarok looks more like a baby GMC Sierra. I wished you guys would stop worrying about how much money we have to spend. Just because can’t get the Americana doesn’t mean we can’t. You’re Ford bias!!!

Ford guyzy 👌👌👌👌👍🙏

VW on looks

Extra cost of Amarok put me off, glad I went for the Wildtrak. Definitely more user friendly

Amarok looks good compared to ford. More stability when driving. Amarok is more quieter aswell. Amarok is just expensive and premium. Its a european car vs american so choose which one u like

i stopped watching when you disclosed your height

To be fair if the purpose was to buy a car to actually go 4wd in, i wouldnt buy either of these 2 vehicles. I would buy a ranger but in the xlt vairent..... Why you ask well because once you start upgrading tyers suspension add bar work etc etc etc the nice cool things become a little obsolete anyway. If puerly as a daily driver kept bog stock then id have to say the Wildtrak.

So replace the Ranger seats to Amarok ones and you have a pretty ok car. If you want to get really hard core maybe change the instrument cluster or is the space dimensions different.

The problem with these tests though is Tyers having one more offroad orientated should and usual dose have louder road noise so tick for the Ranger that it's quite but on the down side having bigger tyer blocks on a hard bitchimum they won't have as match traction. I would have loved to seen the "test" done on both sets of Tyers AT and highway terrains and see the difference.

I wouldn’t touch the Amarok purely on the fact that Volkswagen warranty and service is located on the 7th circle of hell. The other point is the Amarok will depreciate faster than the Ranger purely due to the fact out of warranty the Amarok is going to sting you.

I have the 10 speed, bi turbo ranger wildtrack, purchased new in Nov 2018 and after all these years it’s still immaculate and has done 60000 KM without a hiccup, best car I have owned. Built in Thailand and was 39k USD cash

VW full name is, "forks vaagen"
Not vokes wagon!

+$990 to make it grey?!
That sounds like a horrible deal
For the customer.

Fist me, fist me good 🙈

I had two Amarok so far and now ordered the Wildtrak X. Why buy a "VW" when in fact it is a more expensive Ford? Also the Ford just looks better imho.

Id rather buy 2 GWM cannons for the price they are asking for these utes these days

This ranger is way too american for me with those daytime running lights. I prefer amarok. But... is it a point to compare them when they are on a same base, same engines etc? Nearly the same cars with different lights and badges on... i feel it so pointless. I'm a happy owner of a real amarok and ill go back to isuzu next instead off a re badge ford. The mercedes already tried this with the nissan. Not too many buyer wanted a nissan with renault engine in, and mercedes badge on... engine

Having owned an Amarok for ten years, that goes into limp mode at least once a week and no one will trade the heap of shit! A Lada Niva would be a better investment !

Comparison between the Ranger and the Clone Ranger !!!

These are identical cars like the isuzu and bt 50 so why are you socalled yournos testing the same side by side? Ridiculous.

I honestly prefer the luxurious look of the VW Amarok inside and outside.

I liked the old Ford ranger (2011 and older). I had high expectations for the new ranger. Then it finally arrived back in the states. I was disappointed. It’s a tone more expensive than the old one and it seemed to be a watered down euro car with a too short small box than a proper ford. Common! It’s a pickup! You need a six foot long box at least. Not the suitcase size 4 to 5 foot boxes you get now. I hope the new 2024 model ranger with the new design is better. Currently, I like the Ford Maverick AWD turbo much more. The VW Amarok just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t care how good it is or not. I cannot get past the old VW Passat styling.

I wouldn’t buy either one of these plastic utes from Thailand.

You're mentioning about the comfort of the Wildtrak when driving and I couldn't agree more. I recently bought a used 2019 Wildtrak in pretty much immaculate condition with 68k kms. I test drove a Pajero sports as well as the Ford and there's just no comparison, the Ford is so comfortable and like you said it feels luxurious. And yeah it's very quiet in the cabin which I attribute to apparently the Ford has some sort of noise cancelling system inside the cabin.

With a column shifter you could have the cupholders in the center console where they belong.

Bought to you by Ford😅😅😅😅

The two best utes? Give them to a farmer and see which lasts............it won't be a VW I promise you.

i just got the Wildtrack X, no comparison to this Wildtrack, its amazing...

The price is crazy.
I bought the midspec Amarok in 2011 called the special edition.
Was $44k.
I can't believe it's over 80 now.

why do guys say "ohhhhh I love that car, it really looks aggressive! what's with that? is it to match everyone aggressive driving behaviour

get the v8 Volvo they are mental

How much is ford paying for this .
