VW Amarok accessories

1. All-weather floor mats

If you are keen to go explore the most remote places with your VW Amarok, adding all-weather floor mats for both the front and rear occupants means that cleaning mud or dirt from the footwells will be easier and quicker.

2. Footboards

The Volkswagen Amarok has quite the ground clearance which allows the vehicle to traverse some of the most rugged terrain. However, this means that getting into the vehicle can be tedious at times. Adding footboards to the exterior will give the occupants a convenient step to assist in getting into or climbing out of the Volkswagen Amarok.

3. Styling bar (roll bar)

Adding a styling bar to your Volkswagen Amarok won't only add to the styling of the model but also provides added utility, as items can be kept in place by tying ropes to the styling bar. Furthermore, the bar should provide added strength in the scenario of the vehicle rolling.

4. Canopy

If you want to safely stow items in the load bay of your Volkswagen Amarok, why not consider a canopy? This not only provides a lockable area for luggage to be kept but also provides a space for items to be kept out of the rain, hot sun and even snow in some areas of the country.

5. Gearbox protection plate

For those off-roading enthusiasts, Volkswagen not only offers an optional gearbox protection plate but also a fuel tank protection plate for when you crest a steep hill or dune.
