With so many sedan and SUV options in the Volkswagen lineup, many drivers ask if there are Volkswagen trucks available, too. Unfortunately, you won’t currently see any VW trucks at Hiley Volkswagen of Arlington, although models have made it to market overseas. However, the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas features the rugged drive and dominant towing capacity pickup drivers may be looking for.

Volkswagen Amarok

If you’ve visited Europe, South America, or Africa, you may have seen the Volkswagen Amarok pickup truck on the roads. This powerful truck is popular overseas, but Volkswagen decided not to import it to America because of additional taxes on pickups. Unfortunately, there are no further plans to produce a Volkswagen truck for American markets.

Volkswagen Rabbit

Longtime Volkswagen fans may remember a much older VW pickup, but you won’t see many on the road anymore. The Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup was built on the Volkswagen Golf platform, giving America a US-exclusive truck option from 1979 to 1984. However, these models weren’t known for their capability: the diesel powertrain produced about 49 horsepower.

New Volkswagen Truck Alternatives

While there is no pickup option in the current Volkswagen lineup, the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas offers capable features for rugged drivers. This turbocharged SUV can produce up to 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, giving it up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity. For everyday hauling, there’s plenty of space inside, too: up to 96.6 cubic feet with all seats stowed.
