4X4 Australia: February 2017 issue in stores now

VW’s hotly anticipated Amarok V6 gets a baptism of fire as we pit it up against Ford’s Ranger Wildtrak in the February 2017 issue of 4X4 Australia.

We also drive a custom 1200Nm Duramax-powered Nissan GU Patrol and an immaculate custom AEV Jeep JK350.

Among a heap of fresh content we head to the launch of Mercedes-Benz’s G-300 Cab-Chassis, and we fly across the Pacific to drive a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro edition.

THE REST
Dan Everett installs Redarc’s Tow Pro Elite, we test an Engine Data Scan tool, a DPChip and ARB’s camp chairs, and we explain the importance of campsite vehicle orientation. We also take our Hilux SR5 on a 3600km trip to South Australia and up through outback NSW.

Ron Moon encounters some night-time campsite visitors, Dean Mellor reckons the best thing about outback travel is the folk you meet along the way, John Rooth cuts through Africa in a Kia Sorrento, and Fraser takes an in-depth look at the Chevrolet Colorado’s ZR2 suspension tech.
