There are five equipment grades - Core, Life, Style, PanAmericana and Aventura - all powered by Ford-supplied turbocharged engines including two 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesels, a 3.0-litre V6 diesel and an exclusive 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol. Apart from a six-speed manual gearbox in the base Core model, a 10-speed auto is standard across the range. The top-spec Amarok is the road-focussed Aventura which comes with either diesel or petrol power.
