It seems there’s a disturbing trend among four-wheel drivers. Dumping rubbish. I know for a fact that 99% of us are passionate about the bush and leaving it in better shape when we leave than it was when we came…
It seems to me that a lot of four wheel drivers are pretty brand loyal. Cries of “You never would have got stuck if you drove a Patrol, mate;” and “My Prado goes everywhere the big boys do!” are commonly…
I’ve been out and about driving a whole bunch of new 4X4s lately, and I’ve been struck by how modern inclusions like traction control and hill descent control have made huge positive impacts on the off-road ability of these computer-controlled…
A couple of weeks back a few of us were sitting around having a work meeting (we may or may not have been at the pub at the time…) and the talk was turned to project vehicles. Ev has…
