4X4 UTE OF THE YEAR 2025

When you look at the custom 4x4s we feature in 4X4 Australia magazine, there's one brand name that appears in nearly every custom build: REDARC – the go-to choice for auxiliary power systems in just about any 4x4.

We are proud to have this great Australian brand along on our 4X4 Ute Of The Year test to help with proceedings and to show us its new REDWorks platform.

The benchmark for genuine capability testing, 4X4 Ute Of The Year is one of the toughest and most authentic proving grounds in the industry. That mindset mirrors how REDARC has engineered its products for more than four decades: gear built to handle the extreme, tested in state-of-the-art in-house facilities.

This shared belief - creating equipment that stands up to real use, in real conditions, for people who expect the best – made the REDARC naming-rights partnership a natural fit.

As part of this partnership, REDARC is supporting the industry's most trusted voice both on the ground and behind the wheel, contributing technical insight to adjudication discussions.

“Nobody designs, engineers, builds, tests or uses gear like we do,” said Taylor Boyley, REDARC Marketing Manager ANZ. “REDARC has long prided itself on our customer-first philosophy, so helping Australians choose the most capable, dependable and practical off-road Utes for their adventures was a natural fit.”

This test also showcases the arrival of REDWorks, REDARC's new Australia-made, plug-and-play power panels.
