We talk to Jason Lock, one of the Judges for the 4x4 Australia 4x4 of the year competition.
Jason scored a dream job, heading out with the 4x4 Australia team to judge the 4x4 Australia 4x4 of the year.
What vehicles where on the long list and how did they narrow the field done to the short list? Jason talks about the entrants and the judging process. All of the vehicles were stock, so there were no after market mods, including tyres! This obviously makes a big difference because some of the vehicles would really struggle with roadies on.
Which 4x4s where on the long list?
Which 4WDs made it to the short list?How did they run their tests? A really interesting story about determining the best 4WDs in Australia.
The 4x4 Australia 4x4 of the year is a major milestone for vehicle manufacturers, so it is great to get an insiders view of the judging process and what makes the grade and what doesn't.

What will EV 4WDs be like in 5 or 10 years time?
Whether climate change is real or not (it is!), there is an undeniable trend away from fossil fuel vehicles, so what will EV 4WDs look like? We talk to Robert Pepper about the EV 4WD myths and possibilities.
Obviously range is going to be an issue. How will long-range trips be managed where there is nowhere to recharge? Can a 4WD recharge with panels on the roof? Will improvements in efficiency and battery power to create vehicles with 1000km range?
What about hydrogen fuel cells for 4x4s? Will the technology enable this cheap, but dangerous, fuel to provide the kind of range and power required to go offroad? Hydrogen's energy density. Diesel has an energy density of 45.5 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg), slightly lower than gasoline, which has an energy density of 45.8 MJ/kg. Hydrogen has an energy density of approximately 120 MJ/kg, almost three times more than diesel or gasoline. Will Hydrogen be the answer for everyone heading offroad? This is a big opportunity as we look for a solution that provides the range we need before filling up / refuelling.
I've still got an oiler, which every time I see what comes out the exhaust when I hit the accelerator, I think there has to be a better long term solution.

Robert Pepper gives a detailed report on his Toyota LandCruiser 300 Test Drive and a test ride with the Ineos Grenadier.
What does he think of both of these vehicles? These are 2 great examples of some of the new 4WDs that are coming out to cater for the needs of real 4 wheel drivers. How are the manufacturers going in developing vehicles for the Australian bush and how do they point they way ahead as far as 4x4 vehicle trends?
What will the Ineos Grenadier be like offroad, how much will it cost and is it something we should be thinking about? Who is it aimed at?
How does the new LandCruiser 300 improve on the previous LandCruiser? How does the new engine and transmission perform?

Roothy has a big announcement about what he is going to be doing for Milo as he plans Milo’s big last trip.
Milo is one of Australia’s most recognisable 4 wheel drives, it’s probably done nearly all of the iconic 4 wheel tracks throughout Australia. I have always been amazed at the queue of people at 4 wheel drive shows lining up to see Milo. Roothy has had Milo for over 20 years.
We talk about Roothy’s adventure in Milo 2. Out on the tracks with the hand brake and he managed to roll Milo 2.
We discuss about how everyone needs to be vigilant – driving on the tracks can be really dangerous and if someone as experienced as Roothy can have a bit of a whoopsy whilst driving then it can happen to anyone. I tell my story about my little adventure in Talbotville and the snorkel that I needed in a creek crossing gone wrong.
We look at the difference in set up between Milo and Milo 2 and why Milo is better set up and wouldn’t have rolled like Milo 2. There are some important lessons here for everyone heading offroad in setting up your 4x4 so that it is safer and more stable when on the tracks. Rollovers can happen at very low speeds and a lot of it depends on what modifications that you have done with your 4WD. Centre of Gravity is something that everyone need to understand if they want to avoid rolling over. Some great safety tips for making sure that everyone comes home safely from their trips whether a day trip or a 2 month trip to the Cape.
