Overlander 4x4 Magazine

14 July 2023

It’s a pick-up special issue in 4x4 magazine this month. We’ve given over the entire magazine to trucks of all makes and ages – from a custom ’55 Chevy to the very latest Hilux GR Sport, which graces our front cover. You’ll find a unique Land Rover 130, complete with a Toyota Land Cruiser powertrain; a Hilux converted into an overlanding home-from-home; and a spectacular Jeep concept vehicle taking the mighty Gladiator to new extremes. We’ve also got retrospective road tests on two of the best second-hand buys around – the Nissan Navara AT32 and Volkswagen Amarok 163 manual. Talking of Navaras, the tale of two guys who hired one in Chile and set out to drive it as far as they could up a 6000-metre mountain will definitely inspire you – not least because the truck they did it in was completely standard. The Land Rover Series IIA double-cab featured this month is definitely not standard, on account of they never made one. And nor are the L200 and Ranger, both modded by the same bloke with the aim of creating a top-notch overlander that would also be a head-turning street machine. Talking of which, would you believe a 200-Series Land Cruiser ute conversion? Now, that’s what you call a double-cab. And then there’s that ’55 Chevy. Arguably the coolest of the lot. Though with the Munro MK_1 pick-up, Hennessey VelociRaptoR 6x6 and Iveco Tigrotto all featured in our news pages, the choices in the world of pick-ups are getting cooler all the time. It all makes for a super-cool new issue of 4x4 magazine!
