    .............................................................
    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!

    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 😁👍🏾

    Even though I love Toyotas, the result was obvious. 2 more cylinders and 50 extra hp makes the difference, plus everyone knows that the V6 Amarok is a beast, with a simple ecu tune you can make it even faster and have like 300hp+. The race I would love to see though, is the new Hilux that now includes the 4.0 N/A V6 against the Amarok V6, that would seem more fair and interesting.
