The V8 petrol has plastic T piece that tends to go at the most inopportune time.

If you do go for the V8 petrol there is a place HDS in Strydom park has the parts required to change it Brass
T piece can be changed before every trip.

Not feasible to change the crank every time you go on a tour

Ok so I did not get a V8.Petrol or Diesel.

I Ordered a 2018 Amarok V6, should be available in August.

A family member works for VWSA so I get a huge family discount from the factory on ex lease vehicles.

In the end the Amarok was my choice due to.

Price!
V6 165 kw
Comfort
Permanent 4x4
Auto
Bakkie

So i will still dream of a TDV8 or V8 Touareg but those were beyond my current budget, if I wanted nearly new.
So 2 months later I still don't have my bakkie.

It is now so soon.... I can't wait!
