Thanks everybody. For DK its a 2015 VW Amarok double cabin 4x4 tdi pickup. Its got traction control and electric locking diff. I think like your
Toyota? The size is a bit bigger than a Taco. I havenŽt driven it far enough to get the mpgs but that will happen soon .

Nice ride chippy.
Two weeks ago on sunday 9th, i was driving to Guerrero Negro when a dozen or so Amaroks of every color zoomed in in front of me, they all had mexican
plates, just like yours.
This may be a long shot, but if you happen to know any of the drivers, please tell them they are some of the most stupid, careless and idiotic people
this road have ever seen. They were reckless driving at 90 mph tailgating each other, passing all at the same time leaving little or no space to
oncoming traffic.

Coupla questions. I know, if you have to ask, you can't afford it, but???
Also, anyone know if something like that would be allowed into the land of the free for a short visit?

IŽll be driving mine up there next month. As long as you have insurance and a Mexican driver lic. with your Mexican plated vehicle you are good to go.
