How much to tax these pick-ups?
How much is it to tax the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 privately? I could only find your comparison with a 3.0-litre. Does it go on the CO2 or the engine size? Same with Ford Ranger 2.2 please.

Hi Darragh,
If you’re taxing a commercial vehicle for private use then, yes, you do revert to the old engine capacity tax system. We don’t know why either — it’s a quirk of the Irish motor tax system. For a 2.0-litre Amarok, that tax is going to be €710 per year, while for the 2.2 Ranger it’ll be €951.
