There can be only one.

Inside the February edition of 4X4 Australia – on magazine stands now – six of the nation’s best four-wheel drives battle it out in the highlands and lowlands for ultimate victory: the 4X4 Of The Year award.

On the shortlist for 4X4OTY 2015 were the Toyota Prado, Mitsubishi Triton, Toyota Fortuner, Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux and Ford Everest.

Our expert panel of judges punished the 4x4s for days on some of the best tracks in the Victorian High Country, as well as Melbourne’s premier 4x4 proving ground, judging each vehicle’s value for money, innovation, durability, bushability and practicality.

To see which vehicle won and why, drop in to the newsagent and grab a copy of the mag.

Also inside, we take the new Pajero Sport and new Navara workhorse range for a spin, we look at a stretched custom 79 Series Land Cruiser, and we get high in a beasty Unimog U430 and a 6x6 Zetros.
