AutoExec Summary
It’s Thursday night, and I’m deep in thought on the edge of the Simpson Desert. My family of five had attended the Big Red Bash, west of Birdsville. With the event over, we faced the challenge of transporting a three-tonne caravan and five adults back to Sydney without a vehicle! Our 2013 Ranger Wildtrak broke down, but Volkswagen Australia came to the rescue, loaning us a new Amarok PanAmericana. The Amarok’s 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre diesel V6 engine towed the van effortlessly, impressing us with its tech and performance.
Brands mentioned: Volkswagen, Toyota.
