January 2024 issue of 4X4 Australia is out now

Start 2024 off on the right foot by picking up a copy of the January 2024 issue of 4X4 Australia, which is in stores now.

If your new year’s resolution was to get out and about more in your 4x4, then we have you covered here at 4X4 Australia. And our first issue for the year is packed with off-road goodness to get you started.

There’s plenty of new metal arriving in 2024, and none more exciting for traditional 4WDers than the INEOS Grenadier. In a market that is creeping towards a softer future, the rugged, go-anywhere Grenadier is bucking that trend. Read our comprehensive analysis in this issue.

Equally exciting is the reinvented 70 Series LandCruiser now with an inline four-cylinder powerplant mated to an automatic transmission. We spent time at the vehicle’s local launch to establish whether the four-pot can live up to the legendary LC70 nameplate.

Another vehicle arriving in the first quarter of this year is the new-gen Mitsubishi Triton. We drove two pre-production variants ahead of the vehicle’s Australian launch and, without giving too much away, the completely redesigned and rebuilt vehicle is bigger and better than the vehicle it replaces in just about every way.

The five-door Jimny XL is finally a reality, and John Law sampled the grown-up Jimny at the wagon’s local launch. The three-door is a fan favourite, but has it transformed into a genuine family 4x4 contender?

On the custom 4x4 front, we point a microscope at a next-gen Ranger that’s now a work-and-play weapon sitting on 37-inch tyres. Plus, we take a look at a 2023 Silverado 2500 built to be the ultimate camping set-up. The behemoth proves there’s a spot for full-size American pick-ups in the Aussie bush.

If your end-of-season break isn’t ending anytime soon, we’ve included a handful of travel pieces to help guide you to your next off-road destination. This month we travel to Judbarra National Park in the NT, along Karunjie Track in WA , and trace some of North Queensland’s remote mining trails.

As our Tradie Triton build nears the finish line, we’ve added a MAXTRAX Bush Recovery Kit and Lite recovery boards. Plus, to keep us out of strife, a new PIAK Nudge Bar has been installed for frontal protection.
