4x4 Australia September edition on sale now

Nothing beats the smell of a new mag packed with the latest in Aussie 4x4ing.

The September edition of 4X4 Australia is on sale now and compares the New Nissan Navara and Mitsubishi Trition utes with the class-leading Volkswagen Amarok and Mazda BT-50.

We also compare the leading traction boards, and take a look at a stonking V8 Jeep Wrangler.

In the meantime, here’s a taste of what else is inside:
