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.

The Amarok offers the best off-road characteristics.


Wherever your destination, the Amarok will take you there.
  • Selectable 4MOTION all-wheel drive: 4MOTION drive ensures reliable traction on varying surfaces.  When engaged, 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.
  • 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.

There’s so much to discover – on and off the road.

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°).

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.
