The Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition Conquers Beer O’Clock Hill

The Volkswagen Amarok 10 Deserts Edition recently proved its off-road prowess in CarExpert‘s challenging Beer O’Clock Hill at The Springs 4×4 Park in Queensland. With park owner Lucas Bree at the helm and Paul Maric providing commentary, the Amarok showcased its capabilities on the steep, rutted, and slippery terrain.

Beer O’Clock Hill is a demanding climb that tests a vehicle’s drivetrain response, traction control calibration, and overall capability. The Amarok’s performance was exceptional, thanks in part to the 10 Deserts Edition package, featuring a factory lift and chunky all-terrain tires that provided stability and minimized underbody impact.

During the ascent, the Amarok demonstrated impressive control, navigating the challenging terrain with ease. Even when faced with obstacles like rear wheel lift, the Amarok maintained forward momentum, showcasing its off-road prowess.

Lucas expertly utilized the Amarok’s features, such as engaging four-low, activating the rear diff lock, selecting Slippery mode, and utilizing manual mode for optimal gear selection. This strategic approach, combined with the Amarok’s capabilities, resulted in a smooth and controlled climb.

Throughout the climb, the Amarok consistently found traction and made steady progress, tackling each obstacle with precision. Unlike other vehicles, the Amarok cleared sections without excessive impact, showcasing its design and engineering.

As the Amarok approached the final stretch, its traction control and rear diff lock ensured a clean ascent to the summit. Lucas praised the Amarok’s performance, highlighting its confidence and grip on the challenging terrain.

In conclusion, the Amarok not only survived the rigorous test but excelled, earning high praise for its performance on Beer O’Clock Hill. With its impressive capabilities and confident demeanor, the Amarok proved to be a top-class performer in demanding off-road conditions.
