Looks like pickup time at any primary school in the country     ???       >:D >:D :cheers:
Pickup time when every sane tradey is safely packed up at home or decided to make a long day of it on the job. :cheers:

If the motor can drive all 4 wheels it is a 4WD.
When it has 4wd high and 4wd low range and 2wd options, decent clearance, good horse power, all metal panels  - then it is a genuine off road vehicle.

Well my Amarok has eight forward gears AND does it with fewer gear levers.
That's gotta be hard to beat.



Relax, put the diff lock on, climb another sand dune & enjoy the view.

Haven't needed it yet.
Do you use it often?
