This is the Volkswagen Amarok Delta4x4, the most offroad-capable bakkie made by the German tuner.

As a reminder, the Volkswagen Amarok is assembled in South Africa alongside its Ford Ranger sibling and while the two vehicles are near-identical mechanically, visually they’re quite different.

Not as radically different as the Beast 2.0 or Volkswagen Amarok Delta4x4 however. This extreme iteration of the Amarok comes fully equipped for outdoor adventuring with a comprehensive kit.

Under the skin is a 150 mm suspension lift kit, 35-inch BF Goodrich offroad tyres combine to lift the Amarok 17 cm higher than the standard equivalent. Some cladding around the wheel arches enhance the look even further.

Delta4x4 has also added some side steps for easier access. Other enhancements include some additional LED lighting mounted in the grille for extra night-time illumination.

The aftermarket kit doesn’t come cheap, with the German offroad specialists claiming it’ll cost Euro 12 200 for the parts, and that excludes installation.

Interestingly, Ford already has a comprehensive offroad and accessory catalogue available, developed by Australian offroad specialists ARB and we suspect that given the similarities between the two vehicles, it’s not going to take long for some goodies to make their way to the Amarok.

As a reminder, the Volkswagen Amarok is on sale in South Africa in both double-cab and single-cab flavour. The engines on offer range from 2.0-litre single turbo diesel, 2.0 biturbo diesel and a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel.
