Daughter is looking at either of these. https://www.4x4at.com/News/Ranger_Vs_Amarok Any comments regarding these, or better suggestions at a similar price? :y :y :y

Personally, I've had excellent service from VW; Chris :y
Quite like the Amorok, though a Tiguan's on our shopping list! ;)

Would have thought a Toyota Hilux or a Mitsubishi L200 would be a better bet :-\ if towing, bigger is better wrt engine choices :y
I know a chap currently running a 2.5td Nissan Navara, which struggles with a loaded trailer. His next truck will be a 3.0...

Auto express rate the Amarok well :y

The D40 goes quite well when chipped..........allegedly.......... even with a caravan on the back. ;) :-X
Ranger is bouncier on the back when unladen, whereas the Nav is quite a decent ride and better equipped. We have a Nissan Navara Aventura Double-cab in the family and it is very well specced. Turning circle isn't great but hey ho it's commercial. :)
Brother-in-law has a Ranger Thunder but he admits the Nav is the better ride unladen. The rear seats in the Ranger are very narrow and barely suitable for adults.
How about an F150. ;) :y

Was thinking a Dodge Ram or similar...

No or very little towing required. Just load lugging and rough road work. :y

Gliding club have a Navara. I was quite impressed. Nice comfy interior, well equipped and performance was better than I expected. Had some foolery getting it into and out of 4x4 a few times (not just a lever in these, it's all electronics, and kept flashing funny errors at me), but no idea if there are common problems in that area. No experience of the others, though.

Surveyor mate has an Amorok ... very impressive piece of kit... he tows a large 'van with it, no problem, and he is pleased with the economy :y :y
