Vote for your favorite magazine cover of 2023 from a list I curated, designed a poll for that requires one to enter more info to enable me to promote myself at your time expense.
Why??

I thought the American (i.e. Californian) published VW Trends magazine had died the death donkey's years ago!?! 
The Volkswoody on the cover of the British published Volksworld magazine looks interesting; suggesting a hybrid of a VW Type 1 Beetle and a Morris Minor Traveller, which is still one of Great Britain's iconic classic cars.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Minor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Minor#The_Minor_vs_Volkswagen
Those Morris Minor 37 bhp, 948 cm³ displacement or 47 bhp, 1,098 cm³ displacement, BMC "A-Series" engines could accept quite a high degree of tune, but even factory-standard cars with the 948 cm³ or 1,098 cm³ were capable of 75 or 77 mph; exceeding the UK's long-term statutory maximum speed limit of 70 mph by 5 or 7 mph respectively.
I have even seen at least one Morris Minor fitted with what look like 6 x 15 inch alloy wheels (28 mm offset) originating from either an MG F or MG TF sports car, which both share the same 4 x 3¾ inch PCD - pitch circle diameter; in common with my 1974 Triumph Toledo 1300 "HL Special" which presently has 5½ x 13 inch alloy wheels (35 mm offset) originating from a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, is destined to have substituted 5½ x 15 inch cross-lattice style alloy wheels (31 mm offset) originating from an 1984~91 MG 2000 Maestro sports-saloon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Toledo

Putting in my votes for these two, mostly because I took the photos.

I have never been to MOAB, Utah or any other part of Utah, but I might have visited MOAB, Jordan, when my parents and I visited Jordan in the Middle East, in 1971, just a few years after the 7-day war with Israel.

Jerry cans for maximum off roading (read the article).
Not a battery door, that's an air scoop for the vent.
The e-brake works fine, the rock was just there.

The Hayburner features a VW Type 3 (i.e. Type 34) "razor-edge" Karmann Ghia, of which I once had a Corgi or Lesney-Matchbox toy car.

How can one read the article, without having possession of that magazine issue!?! 
I have yet to come across an electronic-brake (i.e. e-brake) on a pre-1968, T1 VW Type 2. Many of the 1968~79 VW Type 2s that I have seen on this forum, appear to have poorly adjusted rear brakes OR poorly-adjusted / stretched hand-brake / parking-brake cables; as indicated by the more than SIX ratchet notches visible on the hand-brake actuation rod & handle assembly beneath the dashboard.
I have seen Jerry cans of petrol (i.e. gasoline in USA parlance!?!) or DERV-diesel carried in much more vulnerable front locations, on off-road 4x4 expedition vehicles, such as the iconic, World-famous 88 or 109 inch wheelbase, Landrover Series IIA, in which I have travelled a few times!
One of the things of which one must be wary, is of opening the Jerry can during the heat of the day, when the petrol or diesel will probably have expanded, increasing the internal air pressure!  This was something I observed first-hand, at the age of 12, in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. One should ideally open & decant the fuel just after sunrise when it's still cool.
The Landrover motor-caravan conversions by Searle - Carawagon and Martin Walter - Dormobile, are probably the best known.

The following picture, published in the Winter 2011 edition of The Ranger Station magazine, shows an Austrian manufactured, 6x6 Steyr-Daimler-Puch Pinzgauer 712 bespoke motor-caravan, with four rear-mounted Jerry cans, but only one visible spare wheel.
Having a 2•5 litre, 90 bhp air-cooled engine, with 10 forward & 2 reverse gears, this could be regarded as a distant relative of the 1968~79 VW Type 2; albeit with a much better off-road capability in either 2, 4 or 6 wheel drive modes, despite being of circa 3•5 tonnes unladen weight, with circa 1•5 tonnes payload; giving a maximum total all-up weight of 5•0 tonnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-Puch_Pinzgauer
This total maximum all-up weight, is well within the 7•5 tonnes maximum limit of my ordinary British, non-HGV driving licence, so something like this would probably be my first choice of expedition vehicle, on muddy, rocky, steep, narrow mountain tracks with small-radius hair-pin bends and river-fords to wade, like those common in the Himalayas of Nepal, from which my former British army, Gurkha light-infantry acquaintances and their wives originate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigade_of_Gurkhas
An example of such roads, featured in the December 2019 Top Gear – Nepal Special television programme, which also featured a home-grown Nepalese Hulas Mustang mini-bus.
Top Gear – Nepal Special: Link to 1 hour 11 minute video recording
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000crsk
When I first saw the Hulas Mustang, I thought it might have been an Indian, Ashok Leyland version of the British, Leyland Sherpa minibus (also available in the form of a delivery van and pickup) or the closely-related, later-model Freight-Rover Sherpa, LDV (i.e. Leyland-DAF Vehicles) Pilot, Convoy or Maxus.
"2011" Hulas Mustang
I briefly drove two examples of the Leyland Sherpa minibus in early-1979 and during the early-1980s. The Freight-Rover Sherpa, was the first vehicle to be equipped in 1985, with the GKN LiteRide fibre-glass & Shell Chemicals epoxy-resin, composite-material suspension leaf-springs, which might now be used on some American trucks.

I'm curious what that has to do with voting for the magazine cover?
E-brake is short for emergency brake.
I noticed you linking to Wikipedia, so here you go:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake
| Quote: |
| In road vehicles, the parking brake, also known as a handbrake or emergency brake (e-brake),... |
And Yes, a large number of vintage VWs have maladjusted e-brake handles and/or rear brake shoes.

Dune Buggies & Hot VWs is a magazine published & distributed in the USA; not readily available on the shelves of my local newsagent in south east England.
