What an awesome track!! That's somewhere I would take the wife to introduce her to 4WDing. There are a few challenging bits that gradually get harder-mostly just water and creek banks-but no MASSIVE boulders and "no edges" (she's not scared of heights - just edges), fairly flat track-yet still enough for her to appreciate the location and think her car would never get us there, perfect for her to the appreciate investment I/we have put into our truck. That's the perfect track to break the wife in! Awesome video - thank you!!
Ground clearance was a little better in the Surf, there is some low hanging suspension swing arms on the Fortuner the Surf didn't have. That must make the on the road ride better. Cost of maintenance was getting up there on the Surf. The traction control is great, rear diff lock too. The cameras help both off road and car parks etc. Active cruise control and the extra safety features plus the automatic make the Fortuner a must for me with it being my daily driver. Sorted the front plastic with the bull bar as I wanted a winch. Don't know about the rear plastic yet, I have pop it out on one side 3 times now.
It’s disappointing that everyone feels like they need to know the names of these tracks. They are hidden to keep them still open for the future. as soon as they are known they get closed so the best thing we can do is keep them hidden.
@@hampaice2489 I know what you mean but they are not hidden I’m in a 4wd club and they are quiet happy to tell you where they are and if you are a club member you can go on their expeditions

Yes its a great track, I did get some deep scratches with it being tight.
Awesome video. Track looked fairly easy at the beginning, then that last bit through the bush looked like fun
Yes it gets tight and the end, especially with me not going straight through the bog hole I got stuck in 2 years ago.
great video Neil
It was a great trip Wayne, I should have day 2 out next week. That was real fun even in the rain.
Fellow Surf owner here, how do you reckon the Fortuner compares? Modern equivalent? Another great video by the way. Love this stuff.

Hi Neil, what camera do you use? It’s a good picture
GoPro 11 in the car.
Good video . Might need some editing to remove some repeats . Great track
Thanks for that, I got rid one it will take time to update but was a bad mistake and I needed to know so again thank you.
Where's the sc club located?
It's The South Canterbury 4 Wheel Drive Club, so we are located in Timaru. We have a face book page for more info.
Where is this track?
Info you are after is in my Day 3 video
It's so common to NZ 4WD videos to not name the locations and keep everything to just yourself, disgusting.
Not correct with Neil and co they have told us where they are on their other videos I’m sure he said in the start they were told not to
By the way that looks like lake Daniell
