Mitsubishi Triton VRX

When the road ends on the West Coast, the real adventure begins. That’s exactly where Andy Ellis decided to take his VRX Mitsubishi Triton – into the rugged terrain of the West Coast, New Zealand for a proper 4WD test.

Putting the Triton to Work

Known for its wild landscapes, winding rivers, and dense native bush, the West Coast is the perfect playground for a capable 4WD. Andy took his Triton VRX off the sealed roads and straight into the kind of terrain where traction, clearance, and control really matter.

From navigating rocky riverbeds to shallow creek crossings, the Triton handled it all with ease. With its 4WD capability engaged, the Ute powered confidently through loose gravel, mud, and uneven ground – proving it’s built for far more than just the daily commute.

Built for the Backcountry

On the Coast, conditions can change quickly. One moment you’re winding through lush native bush, the next you’re crossing a river surrounded by steep cliffs and open sky. It’s exactly the sort of environment where the Triton’s durability and off-road engineering shine.

The VRX combines comfort with serious capability, making it just as suited for a weekend adventure as it is for everyday driving. Whether it’s exploring hidden tracks, reaching remote fishing spots, or heading deep into hunting country, it’s built to get you there and back with confidence.

A True West Coast Adventure

With towering bush, clear flowing rivers, and dramatic landscapes all around, the trip showcased just how well the Triton fits the New Zealand lifestyle. For Andy, it was less about pushing limits and more about enjoying the journey – exploring places that many vehicles simply couldn’t reach.
