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

Headlining this issue is an exclusive Australian drive of the 2024 Toyota Tundra. This example – the first new-gen Tundra in Australia – was given to us from Melbourne-based American Vehicle Sales, who re-engineered this vehicle to right-hand drive. Matt reveals if it’s a better alternative to the RAM 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado.

On the topic of super-sized utes, we spent a week in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in both ZR2 and LTZ Premium guises. Plus we attached a Jayco Silverline 24-foot caravan and tested the Silverado’s towing capability, and it didn’t disappoint.

We then examine the used Prado market and provide an insight into what to look out for if you’re considering buying a second-hand model. The market stretches from less than $20K to more than $80K for the much-loved Toyota SUV, and you’ll want to read this if you want to buy a Prado before the new one arrives next year.

Progress continued this month on our 2023 Ford Ranger, and we added a full Tough Dog suspension upgrade which has transformed the vehicle. We also completed the interior fit-out of the Trig Point canopy with a slide-out kitchen. We’re nearly at the finish line for the build, so stay tuned as we add the final pieces to the puzzle over the ensuing months.

We take an in-depth look at a LandCruiser hybrid that has been dubbed a “masterpiece”. The vehicle is a combination of a 1971 FJ45 perched atop a 1994 80 Series, and it’s totally insane. Read all about it in this issue! We’ve also included a guide on how to resto-mod your own build, if you want to mimic the brilliance of this LandCruiser.

On the travel front this month, we venture to Limmen National Park in the NT, have a brew at the Adavale Hotel in Queensland, and tour the Kennedy Range-Mt Augustus and Connie Sue Highway, both in WA.
