- Summer is here which means one of the best tracks in the North Island is open - the 42 Traverse, a 46 km remote route through the centre of the North Island. The track has been well graded for the 2020 season, but not everything goes to plan for one of the trucks...

Nice and easy 4x4 learners track would be fun for a novice to give it a go.
Awesome video. We need more 4x4 videos like this in NZ. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Cheers! Was such an awesome trip
Awesome work guys!
Cheers Scott!
Awesome job team. Cant wait to take on this track mid March right at the end of the season haha.
Cheers! Should be awesome fun then eh
Great viewing, thanks.
Cheers Mark! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow what an awesome place! Thanks for showing me ;-)
No ego's, great music, liked the communications between driver and spotter, better than 4WD Action, Subscribed!
Cheers mate! Appreciate the kind words and sub!
@2low 4fiveoh Yeah it's just a track for the 'Shiny' trucks. Some would think that's hard out hahaha
What a beautiful country we live in!... 4x4xfar! 👍🇳🇿
Nicely done!
Cheers Justin! Such an awesome spot
Great Vid guys
Cheers!
Great video, looks fabulous. Glad only one of you needed pulling up the hill 🤣🤣
Cheers Sue! Ha - somehow the rest of us made it through, though not without damage we later learnt 😂
Hey Daniel, looked like a sweet trip man
It was pretty amazing!
Hey Daniel, Saw u in Wellington a few days ago, nice truck!
Cheers Joe!
Hey Daniel, love the vids! Im based in the wairarapa and keen to tag along on any trips in my swb 90 series prado.
Oh I had one of those, you'll thrash these cunts mate...just hit it!
I did this in a Mazda 626 back in the day.shot a huge amount of deer as I went.
I'm very curious...what a hero!!!! What year was it?
A group of us are going Easter weekend I thought it closed and of April
Cool video!! Where about did you guys set up camp?
Cheers
Cheers! We stayed at Pokaka Mill campsite - nice and close to the start of the track
@@OverlandNZTV nice camp fire!!
I live up in whakapapa village, the tracks out there are great there's a few ways to get from mill campsite to the start of the 42nd some of them are a proper good drive!!!
Hi, Awesome track! is this a one way track or can go through SH 47 to SH 4?
It's a pretty amazing place to explore! It's one way - from SH47 across to SH4. People do cross it both ways but DOC prefer everyone is going the same direction for obvious reasons
Hi there, i have a stock triton without diff lock on 245/75/17s (31s) wildpeak all terrains. Will I make it through? Pretty confident I could get through that hill the hillux got stuck on with more right foot...
Hey Alwyn - it's hard to say - it all depends on the day and how the vehicle responds to the hill, it's much steeper and more rutted out than it looks on camera, and how much you're willing to push your truck.
Utes are at a disadvantage due to their departure angle which is what caught the Hilux out - ended up resting on the towbar. I gave it a few decent goes off camera but called it when I smashed the plastic under the front bumper. The Hilux was carrying a lot of weight and was the 5th vehicle in the convoy up the hill which probably played against it too. Someone reached out after heading through there a few weekends ago and mentioned they weren't surprised the Hilux struggled.
Hope that helps - I can't give a 'yes/no' answer as it depends on many things. Cheers, Daniel
Will you guys be back this year when it opens up?
We don't currently have any plans - but you never know!
Hi do you guys have the location? I search on Google map 42 traverse but couldn't find the entrance and the exit thanks
The DOC website has the location - or you can use our app, Navigator 👍

What tires are you running?
Hey Blake - all the info on all three trucks is on our site - overland.nz/trucks - Cheers!
Bit more of the epic stuff would be good
What sort of 'epic stuff' you keen to see?
Can you do this with only one truck? I have a 2016 ranger with winch 🤷♂️
Should be all good - haven’t heard too much about it since it opened again, but it does change through there each season 👍
@@OverlandNZTV cheers bro just watching the video, thinking about giving it a go tomorrow or later in the week as have some friends over from the UK. How long was the drive?
Nice! It took us 7 hours filming 😅 From what I've heard though, takes 3-4 hours with a few stops
Last truck rule my ass, just pin it😉
My hilux would have pissed up there
Hi awesome track would my stock 1998 Toyota RAV4 sxa10 make it through
Heya! Ummm probably not - depends on the weather and how much traffic has gone through recently - but there’s one section that a RAV would probably struggle with. Heaps of other stuff in the area the RAV would be able to do though! Check out our Central Plateau episode
@@OverlandNZTV Could you link the video? can't seem to find it

You guys did know you aren't allowed dogs in there???
