Leave the beaten track. The Amarok makes this possible.
The best way to experience enhanced ride comfort is to drive the Amarok on rugged terrain. This is where it shows its mettle: state-of-the-art gearbox technology, superior off-road capabilities and optimal traction. Then again, the Amarok offers smooth and comfortable driving characteristics on tarmac roads. So no matter whether you are faced with water, snow, mud or extreme inclines, the Amarok will take you, your work materials and heavy equipment wherever you need to go quickly and safely.

Three drive concepts, two types of springs – and one certainty: the Amarok offers the best off-road characteristics.Wherever your destination, the Amarok will take you there. Three drive concepts and two types of springs are available. - Rear-wheel drive: during acceleration, the vehicle weight is transferred backwards and the rear wheels have optimised road contact. In addition, rear-wheel drive is not subject to steering torque influences and has a smaller turning circle.
- Selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive: 4MOTION drive ensures reliable traction on varying surfaces. It distributes 50% of engine power to each of the axles to improve forward motion – particularly in poor weather conditions. On difficult terrain and steep inclines, a reduction gear can be engaged. The electronic stabilisation programme remains active when all-wheel drive is engaged.
- Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive: this 4MOTION drive with Torsen differential makes optimum use of the dynamic advantages of all-wheel drive and is suitable for both on and off-road driving.
You have the choice of comfort or heavy-duty leaf springs. With comfort leaf springs the Amarok has the handling characteristics of a saloon. Heavy-duty leaf springs offer a high level of safety for high loads and have such a robust construction that they master even rough terrain with ease. Which combination do you need?
Your requirements are paramount: the Amarok offers exactly what you need – the different combinations of types of drive and springing are suitable for a variety of different uses.
| There’s so much to discover – on and off the road.4MOTION all-wheel drive makes the Amarok a perfect off-road vehicle, nor is it daunted by inclines, surfaces with a lateral tilt or bumps, or when crossing water up to 500 mm deep. Hard terrain is easy for the Amarok – due to numerous safety and assistance systems. ABS and a new generation of ESP with hill holder and hill descent assist help you to cope with critical driving situations. When braking in extreme off-road conditions, ABS builds up small wedges – of sand or gravel for instance – in front of the tyres. This shortens braking distances significantly without impairing manoeuvrability. |
Hill-climbing ability.The Amarok can climb any mountain and carry your load at the same time. Even with a trailer weight of 2.8 t, the Amarok can overcome 12% gradients - and, with a load of 1 tonne, hill gradients of 100% (45°). | |
| Approach and departure angles and wading depth.The Amarok can brave steep hills and deep puddles. It has an impressive approach angle of 28°, a departure angle of 23.6° (28° without bumper), and a wading depth of 500 mm. |
Side slope angle.The Amarok has an affinity for extremes. It can handle roads with a lateral tilt of approx. 50° 1), 2). | |
| Ramp angle.The Amarok takes you safely over sticks and stones – and over significantly bigger obstacles too. With a ramp angle of 23° 1) not even tree trunks or rocks pose a problem. |
