The naked ute has 5 wheel studs. Hilux navara ranger all have 6 stud. Think it will be one of the new Chinese brands.

Yes, the upper wishbone checks out. Why was it such a mystery? Surely someone here with an Amarok has put a head underneath?

I didn't know that at the time of posting and hadn't seen the ad previously. I just figured which manufacturer had the most need to redefine their product as a tuff ute built for aussie conditions.

Rightly or wrongly there is generational allegiance to Toyota and Nissan 4x4's in Australia, it would be a hard market to crack into.

Especially when you just trashed your brand world-wide with "defeat devices"

Anyone got any reports on the amorok. Industry word is they have poor build quality with lots of reliability issues. A mate has had reo. He loved the first one but the second one burned oil and had some other issues. I like the idea of 8 speed auto, just not the euro badge.
