Where have you set out to go your own way? Let us know—and win! SHAWN MORRIS LIVES: HERITAGE PARK, QLD DRIVES: 2021 D-MAX 4X4 LS-M “No matter how much I go, I always want to get out more than I can! I love getting away from society, and especially away from cell phone reception, as quickly as possible. I’ve got a few mates with 4WDs and I’d been researching what I wanted for a while, so I waited on the new D-MAX to come out. When I compared it to the competition it was the way to go. I can’t wait to do Cape York, especially— I just need to build up the time off work. Middle of the year, everyone else is in blankets and rugs and you’re still in boardies. It sounds perfect.”
JENNA VAN DER VLIST LIVES: JINDABYNE, NSW DRIVES: 2018 MU-X 4X4 LS-U & 2019 D-MAX 4X4 LS-M “My partner and I have ‘his and hers’ Isuzus. Originally we both had D-MAXs, but he sold his for an MU-X, which is a great fishing truck to fit fly fishing rods in. We’ve been on many trips into the Brindabellas and I love exploring the Snowy Mountains high country. We’ve even fished in the snow! We like it when it’s cold—there are fewer snakes around. Last September the roads were completely covered in white and it was amazing how well the cars handled it. We just love the freedom. It’s something I hadn’t ever experienced before owning a 4WD. I spend eight hours a day at a desk, so at the end of the week I’m stoked to get away!”
