Out Now: September 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia

The September issue of 4X4 Australia is out now, and it's dominated by more than 40 pages of quality Ford Ranger content.

Our Ranger rampage kicks off with off-road reviews of the V6 Wildtrak, V6 Sport and I4 XLT. And It didn't take us long to line a next-gen Ranger Sport V6 up against the long-serving and popular Toyota Hilux SR5+. Does the Ranger set a new benchmark, and should Toyota be worried?

We then chat with Pritika Maharaj, Ford’s T6 global program manager, who talks to us about how her passion for engineering began and how she forged and delivered Ford's bread-winning T6 platform.

Not willing to wait for a brand-new Ranger? Fraser Stronach takes a trip down memory lane to deliver a comprehensive analysis of the used 2011-2022 Ford Ranger market, including the pros and cons of each generation.

To cap off our Ranger coverage, Editor Matt scored seat time in an upcoming Ford Ranger Raptor, driving a prototype on secluded off-road tracks before sitting shotgun on a high-speed circuit. It's a big step up from the outgoing model, he says.

Continuing the Ford theme, we take an in-depth look at a restomod 1969 Ford Bronco with 460hp of V8 power on tap. It's an expertly fettled vehicle, loaded with state-of-the-art aftermarket kit.

Last month, we installed an Offroad Animal Predator bar and Century Dual Force battery to our Isuzu MU-X. We've made a bit more progress with the build this month, adding new Maxxis RAZR AT811 tyres and ROH Trophy alloy wheels.
