This Brazilian market TVC for the Volkswagen Amarok features an Indian boy (who grows up into a man) going about his life with his trusty elephant who seems to come in useful in so many ways. And then his elephant kind of falls sick or something… time for the dude to get a replacement. Or so I thought… check the video out after the jump, it kinda brought the smile to my face and the Amarok looks pretty damn good too!
The Amarok is a ladder frame truck with a choice of either a 2.0 litre single turbo diesel engine with 120hp and 340Nm or a 2.0 litre sequential twin turbo diesel with 161hp and 400Nm. Not exactly Navara-beating numbers but the engine is smaller at 2.0L versus 2.5L.
What’s interesting is that two different 4WD systems are available – a high-low 2WD-4WD switchable version that we’re familiar with and also 4MOTION permanent all-wheel drive that uses a Torsen differential to distribute drive at a 40:60 ratio so that the wheel with the best traction gets the most power.
Anyway check out the video after the jump.

One of the best looking pickup imho. Will VW brings it to our shore? How’s the price?
love it!!! gonna get it!!
Looks smaller than the Navara but hey it is a VW, really hope to try one out. Anyway, i have a Navara and must say that it is a worthy poor man’s land cruiser.
I think the Volkswagen Amarok looks so much better than other American trucks. Well that is my opinion. :D
cool pickup + cool ad, wonderful!!!
Really makes me smile when he drove the elephant with his VW. Nice commercial.
Is it true that this truck could tow the elephant? Must be some kind of ‘gargantuan’ power it have inside.
Yup, the elephant on the back of the pick-up really tell a lot about this pick-up.. Nice ad VW!
VGM, bring this in.
cool truck! Now i feel sick of the number of Hiluxes on the road.
So cool! VWs are known for their gargantuan power abilities what.. a 2.0 litre engine but feels and performs like a 3.0!
Very cool…Hope that we will be getting this soon….We have got Mitsu, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, ISUZU, 4wd Pick ups….
I am a big fan of 4wd pick ups….Mainly they are big and fierce….
