Is the Amarok V6 good?
The V6 engine is the most powerful diesel in the Amarok’s dual-cab class, with 165kW and 550Nm. It’s particularly strong when accelerating up hills or overtaking. The engine also works very well with the eight-speed automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and is very good at making the most from the engine. There is currently a choice of two engines in the Amarok, both diesel Ford engines manufactured in the UK and shipped out: the 205 hp four-cylinder and the 236 hp V6. The previous Amarok was fitted with VW engines and the V6 was very popular.
