I am looking at upgrading my T5 '05 LWB FWD van for newer version and in 4 motion and am surprised at the prices of these vehicles in comparison to other 4 motion vehicles within the VW commercial range.

For example, the Amarok 4 motion dual cab is considerably cheaper, in particular the MY13 models they are currently advertising (approx 10k difference). Even the Transporter cab chassis 4 motion is priced higher than Amarok.

I know they are different vehicle bodies but they all share similar drive trains and engines..

I may have to further my research into the specs of these vehicles and pros/cons of each....
