Had to look this up m'self but it is an AMAROK as displayed on the side of the thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Amarok. It looks a little like a rebadged Ozzie Ford Ranger but it seems it's a unique VW product. Also, it gets 37 MPG. Eff. That's pretty sweet. More practical diesel options that we Americans don't get.

What kind of pickup truck is this? VW?

Its a Toyota Hilux I think. One of the best trucks in the world

Right rear quarter has a VW symbol..Grill looks like VW emblem..Didn't know VW made a truck. Def not a Toyota.
