The engine is mated to 10-speed automatic transmission, which also debuted on the previous generation of its production twin.What we did notice in the new bi-turbo Ranger is that the gearbox is much better calibrated to the engine. Despite losing out on 3 kW, it feels a lot faster, which was confirmed during testing.
By achieving a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 10.71 seconds, it beat the outgoing bi-turbo Ranger by almost two seconds. So we took the bi-turbo Amarok for an early morning outing to Gerotek to see how it stacks up against its production twin. And the fastest other four-cylinder oil-burning bakkies we have on record.
The bi-turbo VW Amarok was up against the bi-turbo Ford Ranger, which clocked a fastest 0 to 100 km/h time of 10.71 seconds.
