Out Now: January 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia

Bring on 2022 by grabbing a copy of 4X4 Australia's action-packed January edition, headlined of course by a traditional heavyweight bout between Nissan's Patrol and Toyota's LandCruiser 300 Series.

It's been a busy period for our resident Isuzu D-MAX. This month, we install a Companion 60-litre fridge/freezer and MSA 4x4 towing mirrors. Plus, we finally point the D-MAX towards the outback, where we put it to the test on difficult off-road terrain.

On the new metal front, we steer the Premcar-fettled Navara PRO-4X Warrior - is it the best Navara yet? We think so. Plus, we sink our teeth into the budget-priced, rudimentary LDV T60 Max ute.

A stretched VW Amarok with more than 200kW at the wheels is our hero custom 4x4 of the month, with the hot tourer dripping with quality aftermarket equipment. We also run a microscope over an M43 Power Wagon from the USA, and BAW Automotive's 79 Series shop truck.

With the used vehicle market hotter than ever, Fraser Stronach takes an in-depth look at the popular 4x4 utes from the past decade, to ensure you don't end up with a lemon.

And Deano shows us how to properly use traction boards to get unstuck, in this month's 'How To' instalment. There's a lot more to it than just throwing them down...

Our main man in the USA, Chris, Collard, has compiled a comprehensive adventure guide for travelling to Baja, California, and across the border to Mexico. It's an iconic off-road destination and it should be on every 4x4er's bucket list.
