The brand-new 2023 Volkswagen Amarok will be hitting showrooms next year, but already offroad specialists are working on the custom accessories. Look what Delta4x4 is envisioning!

If you were not aware, the brand-new Volkswagen Amarok will be built right here in South Africa, by Ford SA at the latter’s facility in Pretoria. The new Amarok will share quite a few mechanical elements from the Ranger, and it will be fascinating to see just how close or far apart the two bakkies will be. 2023 will be quite the year for fans of the double-cab bakkie!

If you’re into your double-cab pickups, you’re more than likely aware about the customisation and accessories part of the lifestyle and there are many companies who specialise in making bakkies more capable and more practical than the standard offering. One such tuner is German offroad specialist Delta4x4 who is hard at work on making the new 2023 Volkswagen Amarok even more capable and hardcore.

What you see here are digital renderings of what Delta4x4 has nicknamed ‘the Beast.’ The extensive upgrades will see this Amarok to sit 150 mm higher than the one that will roll off the factory floor. On each corner are beadlock wheels wrapped in high-profile chunky rubber and the wheel arches have been extensively modified to accomodate the larger wheels. Bigger arches also enhance the look and this Amarok will be quite wider.

Other nice toys added into the mix include a high-power LED on the roof as well as lighting for the front bullbar. A winch will be added too, for additional capability. A roof rack will be installed for extra storage. While there’s no tech data on any engine upgrades, the model depicted is the 3.0-litre V6, which will feature the Ford-sourced 10-speed automatic gearbox. Power outputs for the SA market are yet to be confirmed, but internationally the V6 is available in two states of tune: 177 kW and 184 kW, the latter boasting a monstrous 600 Nm.

We will be getting our first taste of the new 2023 Volkswagen Amarok towards the end of November 2022 as the international media drive will be taking place right here in the home of the double-cab bakkie, South Africa.
