4X4 Australia: January 2018 issue is on sale

THE January 2018 issue of 4X4 Australia is available in stores.

To kick off the new year, we drove Jeep’s new JL Wrangler, Toyota’s updated Hilux range, the HSV Colorado SportsCat and the all-new Disco TD6.

We also punted the 2017 F-150 Raptor in the Mojave Desert, and took a trip south to Tassie for the Ford Everest Experience.
