What is the best 4WD?
It’s a question that I am asked often and honestly have no answer for – what is the best 4WD? It’s an impossible question to answer for more than one reason. But also because I don’t believe the best or…
2019 Ram 1500 Review

Big 4X4 Wagon Comparison
LandCruiser vs Patrol vs Discovery go head-to-head in an off-road comparison. We’re currently in the golden age of the 4WD ute, and any other kind of vehicle (4WD or 2WD) seems to be languishing in the distance. Once upon a…
Goodbye Fortuner
After 15,000km and countless trips it’s time to hand the keys back. We’ve had this Toyota Fortuner since back in Issue 041 of Unsealed 4X4, and we have to say it’s become part of the family. We’ve taken it on holidays,…
