FORD added the Raptor’s 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel and 10-speed automatic transmission to its updated Everest, and we punted the family-focused wagon down a few dusty trails.
We also peeked through the microscope at three killer custom builds: a ‘plastic-fantastic HJ47 Land Cruiser, a re-imagined 1960s Wagoneer, and a unique Mitsubishi Challenger that stands out from the crowd.
Toby Hagon wrangled an X-Class and took off in search of the centre-point of Australia – all five of them, in fact. We also sink some rubber in the Border Track’s soft sand, list a bunch of off-road destinations within cooee of Perth, and go digging for gold in the Victorian High Country.
We were also a fly on the wall as Cooper Tires punished its AT3 tyre in the Australian outback, all in the name of research.
In addition, the second DVD in our Corner Country Adventure Series is included.
