The Volkswagen Taro, a pickup truck produced from 1989 to 1997, was a unique collaboration between Volkswagen and Toyota. Developed in response to the growing demand for robust and reliable pickup trucks in Europe, the Taro was essentially a rebadged Toyota Hilux, incorporating the Japanese automaker's proven reliability and off-road capabilities. While the Taro shared its underpinnings with the Hilux, it received some stylistic tweaks to align with Volkswagen's design language, featuring a distinct grille, bumpers, and taillights. The result was a pickup truck that struck a balance between affordability, practicality, and ruggedness, making it a popular choice for both commercial and recreational use.

Available in various trim levels and configurations, the Volkswagen Taro catered to a wide range of needs. From the basic workhorse model with a single cab and a standard bed to the more luxurious double-cab versions with amenities like air conditioning and power steering, the Taro offered options to suit different budgets and preferences. Under the hood, the Taro was powered by a range of Toyota-sourced petrol and diesel engines, known for their durability and fuel efficiency. The robust ladder frame chassis and four-wheel drive system provided exceptional off-road capability, while the comfortable and spacious cabin offered a pleasant driving experience. Despite its success in Europe, the Volkswagen Taro was ultimately discontinued in 1997, paving the way for the Amarok, a brand-new pickup truck developed by Volkswagen from the ground up.
