No deliveries until March as the car will be under "embargo" and all dealerships will get launch stock at the same time!
Pricing likely to be announced 21st February.

[turdal44]

amarok tonneau cover and tub liner

does anyone know when the tonneau covers and tub liners will be released

[gavs]

Do you mean factory or aftermarket? I don't think is the right thread to ask in either, probably better off starting your own.
