The Rockton is based on the Transporter Kombi, but by virtue of its standard 4-wheel drive has more grip on unmade roads. The permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive with a 4th generation Haldex clutch, a differential lock as standard on the rear axle, height raised by 30 millimetres and strengthened suspension and shock absorbers (3.2-ton chassis) enable the vehicle to take its passengers and cargo reliably through almost impassable terrain. The Rockton even takes gradients of up to 36 degrees comfortably in its stride.

For extreme off-road use there’s the ‘Expedition Pack’, which makes the Transporter Rockton ready to set off on any great adventure. Noticeable externally are the 16-inch AT tyres on strengthened steel wheels. The main changes, however, come in the detail: a particular feature of this version is a special gearbox that provides increased traction in off-road mode. And even though the Rockton has been tailored to the special conditions of off-road motoring, it is fully suited to road use as well. For use away from made-up roads undercarriage protection elements shield the engine, gearbox, tank, sills, rear-axle differential and main exhaust silencer.
