RPM TV Schedule 08 June 2016: Ranger vs Amarok, Smart ForFour, Audi Q3
With price tags hovering around the R600k mark, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and the VW Amarok Ultimate are two of SA’s most expensive four-wheel drive double cab bakkies. But how do they compare? We put the two flagships to the test to find out.
It used to be called the Swatch Car when the Swiss watch maker was keen on building a city car. Then Mercedes-Benz took it under its wing. And now, the latest generation Smart models have reached our shores. This week, we drive the new Smart ForFour Passion.
Our long-term test fleet has been bolstered by the addition of an Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI S-tronic. An inaugural journey to the Southern Drakensberg answers some questions on the capabilities of the small-engined softroader.
RPM remains in its normal time slot at 20h30 on SuperSport 8 on Wednesday 08 June. As last-minute changes to the broadcast schedule are frequent, please check the latest transmission schedule under ‘Motorsport’ on the SuperSport website’s ‘TV’ section, or the DStv Electronic Programme Guide.

Good Evening,
Thanks for the great Show. I would just like to inform you of an mistake made on your “Ford vs Amarok” insert in this Episode. You mentioned that both “bakkies” have four cylinders engines. This is not the case, yes Amarok has a 2.0L 4 cyl engine, but the Ranger 3.2L has a 5 Cylinder engine. Ford’s smaller 2.2L has an 4 Cylinder engine.
Hope you take this in a friendly comment.
All the best and Keep up the great work.

Only happy to keep you all on your toes… 🙂
Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Unfortunately I missed this episode. As it happens, I am in the process of buying double cab. After a long process and much deliberation, the choice is between a Wildtrack an Amarok. Where can we find this video?
