Have to admit that I've always been puzzled by this class of vehicles. We don't have the Amarok in the US but we have many variations in what we call "crew cab" pickups. i.e. Two row pickups with (often severely) abbreviated beds. I simply don't understand the function they serve. The bed is almost useless for what a truck is designed to do. All I can imagine is that there is some unmet need for vehicles suitable for transporting tall home appliances but how many people need to haul a refrigerator or a washer/dryer from place to place? Is it meant to be suitable for taking home the haul of a hunting trip? Toss a dead kangaroo in the bed, perhaps? (Do Aussies hunt kangaroos?) I've come to the conclusion that in the US the vast majority of crew cab sales go to males who don't need a truck but do need to demonstrate their manhood without compromising the requirement to chauffeur the wife and kids around the neighborhood. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise; I'm just puzzled.

@Clint Mullins. My comments were meant mainly for the next smaller size of crew cabs. And I'll grant that full size crew cabs have their uses and don't compromise much of what a pickup is designed to do. Have to say, though, that from the number of full size expensive, immaculate crew cabs I see on the streets, I have doubts that many (most?) are used for anything more than "stomp(ing)...most cars from a stop light" and supporting the driver's gender identity. No doubt that's not true for your brothers. :)
