    Our club members have travelled the Vic High Country, Simpson, Canning, Beachport / Robe, Fraser, Cape / Old Telly Track. They will take you places that will have you shaking your head........ The biggest limiting factors with most 4wdswill be the operator.

    Anyone interested in the Amarok's 4x4 abilities should watch Pat Callinan's 4x4 this coming Sunday. He is starting a new season using the Amarok for his trips.

    Don't let the power figures of the Ranger scare you.

    Hi Brendan A, Just about to take my Amarok auto to North Straddie to test it out on the sand as well. After you let your tyres down, what settings did you select for sand driving? Thanks.

    Gday mate. Myself and some family completed a Fraser Island week last year. I was in my Amarok, brother in law was in a ranger. He was the Only one to need recoveries. He had more clearance and bigger tires. Mine has all terrain tires and was unstoppable. I saw 10.3lt per 100 on beach as was super hard. Very impressed with the Amarok
