PICK 'N' MIX

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

Wreckreation
IF you love noughties classics such as Burnout, Need for Speed and Micro Machines, then Wreckreation is the game for you. We're certainly fans of good old-fashioned driving games. Too many have become realistic simulators that require expert skills, which at times foregoes the fun of gaming.

Tesla Model Y Standard
SOME people say EV pioneer Tesla is faltering. Sales figures are declining worldwide and it appears interest in the brand is waning. The reasons for this may be many, but it can’t be down to the cars themselves — especially since the Americans have proven with the Model Y facelift that they aren't resting on their laurels.
