We rank the UK's one-tonne pick-up trucks

PICK 'N' MIX

WITH two new pick-up trucks launched in 2023, there's no better time to run the rule over all of the class contenders.

First up, the new V6 diesel Volkswagen Amarok takes on the similarly powered Ford Ranger. Then we also compare the latest four-cylinder Ranger with the Toyota Hilux, which we have in racy GR Sport trim. To cap things off, we've also rounded up the other models in the class.

Is the Ranger still the top choice? Or does the Amarok have it beaten? And can the Hilux still compete against its fresher rivals?

Volkswagen Amarok

MODEL TESTED: Amarok 3.0 TDI Style
PRICE: £45,005 POWERTRAIN: 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel, 237bhp

AFTER a couple of years out of production, the Volkswagen Amarok is back for a second generation. Prices start from £34,055 ex. VAT, and rise to a heady £48,055 for a V6 Aventura model. Here we're trying the mid-spec Style with the larger diesel option. At £45,005, it costs £546 less than the Ford Ranger Wildtrak.

Tech highlights 

RATHER than going it alone to build the Amarok Mk2, VW joined forces with Ford for this new generation. Ford took the lead on development, but VW's engineers had input throughout.

Citroen e-C5 Aircross

A COUPLE of weeks ago (Issue 1,902), we were mightily impressed when we tested Citroen’s C5 Aircross as a plugin hybrid, but now it’s time to try the all-electric model. The two look identical; all that’s changed is the powertrain.
