Volkswagen’s new factory-backed Amarok XL and XXL is on sale now, offering customers a purpose-built solution.

The Amarok in standard guise can carry a Euro pallet between the wheel arches. However, for customers that need even more tray capacity, Volkswagen Group Australia’s (VGA) devised its Body Builder Program. So Amarok now comes in an extended XL and XXL body styles.

Under the program, Volkswagen vehicles are customised by a group of recognised converters, who must meet the strictest build and quality standards set by Volkswagen’s factory, as well as back VGA’s five-year warranty.

Andrew Hester, National Conversion Manager, explained the significance of the Body Builder Program, which is available for customers across Volkswagen’s dealer network.

“VGA has a breadth of capability it has never possessed and a range unrivalled elsewhere,” Mr Hester says. “The Amarok XL and XXL top-to-tail solutions are very much the tip of the iceberg. Volkswagen and its partners can engineer literally dozens of bespoke variants.”
