The amarok is a nice Car, (the hilux still feels a bit more like its built to work though) a mate has one which did need the engine splitting in 2, just under warranty luckily. But when the Navara n-guard, and hilux ultimate (high/top spec models) here are about 28k +vat, its hard to justify 45k +vat for the amarok.

45k for the Amarok is mental money for a work vehicle. If was looking to spend that much would go ranger raptor with the new 10 speed box, but at 49k still a joke to be trashed in the wood. Apparently the x class with the 250bhp engine is brilliant and Merc have ironed out the faults from Nissan.

Think yourself lucky you’re not in Norway.

 

I have the Hilux SR+.  Similar to the invinsible but a bit less chrome.

 

consider you have to remove the rear seats as commercial vehicles can’t be used for anything other than commercial , unless you want to pay even more.

 

Stick a canopy back on and a bed liner and The vehicle was about 57k  + GBP.

 

stick the rear seats back in and you are looking at around 78k + GBP.

 

Never looked at an amarok so I have no idea what they retail at.

I like my 3ltr invincible, but often think about upgrading mainly for the need for 3,5t towing ability,
navara n-guard is top of the list if I go for a new mainstream motor, better spec, warranty and can tow 3,5t 

It’s a simple paperwork exercise to upgrade your existing one to 3.5t.

Raptor isn’t much of a work vehicle either. The suspension mods come at the price of pay load. Only carries about 600 kilos in the rear tub.
