Overlander 4x4 - November 2023

In this issue

In this month’s 4X4 Magazine, we look to the successor to Britain’s only true premium pick-up (the Ford Ranger), with the new VW Amarok 3.0 Tdi PanAmericana. This new VW motor unites new market-leading off-road potential with a fresh level of ride and refinement for the one-tonne market. The PanAmericana model is slightly less swanky than the most premium Aventura model, however, it comes with an off-road themed spec that includes a locking rear diff, front bash guard and 18” alloys (as opposed to 21”). This VW is built for all territories, and with the post-showroom addition of mud-terrains, we can’t see why it wouldn’t thrive as a reliable on and off-roader. The PanAmericana has the performance and comfort of an executive car, partnered with the sheer power and robustness of its excellent 4x4 build and in the top-spec, 3.0litre engine, capable of 240bhp and 443lbf.ft, the latter from a usefully low 1750rpm. You won’t want to miss this rigorous rundown of VW’s new 4x4, which despite the vehicle’s high retail price, might be one of the best examples of ‘you get what you pay for’ in the high-end truck market.
From a noteworthy new arrival to a resurrected 4x4, in this month’s edition of 4X4 Magazine, we give you the lowdown on a 40-Series Toyota Land Cruiser that Legacy Overland has moved “beyond mere life and into the realms of immortality”. Donning a Chevy 5.7-litre V8, which is undeniably a more modern, powerful engine than its predecessor, no matter how reliable it was, the Chevy V8 allows for a four-speed manual box to be fitted. Equipped with a Warn M8000 winch, this vehicle is all-purpose and slickly finished down to the last bolt. No matter how you could feel about a classic truck being rejuvenated and changed, with this classic motor, there is no denying it is an incredibly impressive truck and well-worth reading about in our thorough breakdown of both its history and the customisation it has gone under with Legacy Overland.
