4X4 Australia January 2016 edition with bonus LowRange DVD

Christmas – and the New Year – have come early.

The January edition of 4X4 Australia will be on magazine stands from December 10 and it’ll come with a bonus LowRange DVD. Inside the mag we compare and rank eight of Australia’s best-selling 4x4 dual-cab utes – including the new Hilux!

We also look at a custom 6x6, Hemi V8 Hellhog; a land-eating Unimog; and the history of the Land Rover.

You can grab your copy of 4X4 Australia from newsagents or get it early by subscribing to 4X4 Australia in electronic or print format.

In the meantime, here’s more of what’s inside:
