Taranaki Truck Show

Taranaki Truck Show This year our chosen charity will be the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust. Your donations and assistance will help this event being another success.

Taranaki Truckers Group was formed in 2011 by a group of local truck drivers, who got together to organise a truck show, for both fellow truckers and the public, to give everyone in the community the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the country’s finest machines. After the success of our previous shows, we've decided to do it all again, on 7th March 2021 (Taranaki Anniversary

Weekend) at the same venue, Hickford Park, Smeaton Road, Bell Block, New Plymouth. A convoy will start from Centennial Drive, New Plymouth. All trucks are to gather in the area by 8am on the day. We will need to leave the hill free to allow room for staging the trucks in order of parking at Bell Block. We will depart 9am sharp, travelling along Breakwater Road/St Aubyn Street, Molesworth Street, Hobson Street, left onto Northgate, left onto Henwood Road, to Smeaton Road to Hickford Park, where the trucks will be on display for the public to view. Trucks will be free to leave the venue at 3.30pm. Prize Giving will be from about 2.30pm. We will be having truck rides around the block to give the public a chance to see the road from the cab. Where possible we would like to share this task amongst the drivers, to drive some rigs that will be available to us. If you can help by providing trucks to use, please get in contact with us prior to the show. The venue we have for this show is the same as last year, so fortunately trailers will be able to be accommodated. T-shirts/singlets will be available to order on the day of the show. Finally we’d like to thank you in advance and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the day. For Registration forms and queries contact:

Today we were hosted for afternoon tea at the Waimanako cafe by Jamie, Suzy and Marie from the Taranaki Retreat. We had the privilege to hand over all the funds raised from the 2026 Taranaki Truck Show totalling $20,106.00. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and everyone who donated funds, prizes and their time to the show. Without your continued support we couldn't make this happen.

Hey there all,
Here are the prize winners from our 2026 show.

Again, congratulations to everyone......
The massive effort put in by all of our participants, in prepping your gear for show day, does not go unnoticed.....by us, your peers or the public. As was noted during prizegiving on Sunday, without trucks and your collective passion & effort, the event would not be the success it was!

The standard of all the gear, was outstanding! Our judges had one hell of a job on their hands.
Huge thanks to them, for their time and mahi.

Thank you to all our sponsors we appreciate you all.
