September 2023 issue of 4X4 Australia is out now

The September 2023 issue of 4X4 Australia is out now.

A trio of top-shelf tourers headlines this issue of the magazine, with Matt Raudonikis getting behind the wheel of three Rambler-fettled off-roaders: a 300 Series, a 79 Series and a Silverado 1500 Trail Boss. Exceptionally built and loaded with quality equipment, picking a winner was no mean feat.

Equally ballistic is a Barra-powered Ford Ranger with a whopping five times more factory horsepower - an eye-watering 750hp at the rear wheels - than a stock vehicle. We take a deep drive under the hood of what is the most powerful Ford Ranger in Australia.

For a soft-roader to grace the pages of 4X4 Australia magazine, it needs to be something quite extraordinary, and this RAV4 outfitted with Ironman 4x4 equipment is something special. With improved ground clearance and added protection, this light-duty SUV is a capable little off-roader.

We also drove two new vehicles this month: a GWM Tank in Ultra guise, and a five-door Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland fitted with an off-road pack. We get both of them dirty, and return with surprising results.

The all-new Amarok was in a race against the clock en-route to the 2023 Big Red Bash. Nasty weather foiled any plans of a smooth-running adventure, but as they say, 'if the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way'.

Plus we make your next adventure easier by listing the top tips for planning a 4x4 trip and, when you're ready, we've included a guide to explore the wonderful Nymboi-Binderay National Park in NSW.

As a bonus, by grabbing a copy of the mag, you could win a $6000 GearWrench tool kit for Dad this Father’s Day!
