Arctic Trucks has arrived in Australia

Marks 4WD in Melbourne, Victoria, has announced that it is now the Australian agent for Arctic Trucks, and it will have vehicles available for purchase very soon.

Arctic Trucks was formed in Iceland more than 35 years ago as a specialist division of Toyota to develop fully OEM-approved vehicle versions suited to tackling the rugged and beautiful extremes of ‘The Land of Fire and Ice’. At the heart of these builds, significantly taller and wider tyres enabled the increased traction, flotation and suspension effect needed to successfully traverse the range of challenging terrains and conditions, from glaciers and snowfields to rocky trails, volcanoes and more.

Arctic Trucks (↗) converted vehicles have developed such a reputation for design and engineering that they have been officially accepted by multiple automotive OE manufacturers, including Toyota, Isuzu, Nissan and more, who offer ‘AT’ vehicle versions officially through their dealership networks in multiple global markets. Arctic Trucks also has divisions and OEM distribution spanning the UK, USA, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Africa and South Africa, and now it’s here in Australia.

The first two AT conversions to roll out of their Moorabbin workshop are the AT37 Toyota Prado and AT35 Isuzu D-MAX, and they gave us the chance to drive them before the official launch at the Melbourne 4×4 Show, where you can check them out for yourselves from August 21-23.

It’s on the cover of our August issue (see above). Also keep an eye out for an upcoming feature article on how they handled local tracks.
