Very good to see Tom back in business. Was always one of my top guys at Fifth Gear. Happy to see that TG picked him up (might have been a while ago but I have only seen vids of him twice, in the last year or so) Let's see more of him, please. Gorgeous video too, particularly tying it to such an important topic. Wonderful to know that the Ukraine is still up and running despite the horrors that it has been enduring.
Bus 4x4 in Australia have been making tough 4x4 buses for decades. Mostly used to haul people to mine sites. If they can handle the outback then they can sure handle a smokey hill
Tom Ford you old devil! Great to see you back on the screen...can you bring back some of the mad stuff I've seen you do earlier in your career...it would work well with the current team!
This seems more like a payed advertisement than anything else. The title pretty strongly insinuates off-roading, given youre riding up a volcano in an off-road vehicle with numerous lockers. Yet we see none of it, you could drive up this nice even road with a 1.2 8v Mini with fwd. I would be nice to see some off road capabilities since its advertised as an offroad all-around useable platform. Though I wonder if that weight couldnt be a hindrance here and there. Then again Unimogs arent lightweights either. Also surprised that in this commercial the brand didnt advertise camper version of it. Military,ambulance etc... except camper which all similar brands do. I wonder whats the reason behind not offering it.
Wdym we see none of it? Just because it's a throdden path, doesn't mean it's not off road. I assure you having been there that your average offroader wouldn't make it.

Awsome vehicle and video. Any chance when you talk about hight and distance you could also use metric too? I was never taught imperial and the figures just don’t make sense😬. Thank you
The underpinnings of a Unimog, coil suspension and portal axles, are vastly superior to the “truck” you were driving, even with its big wheels and soft tyres….. However, Unimogs cost a whole lot more….. 🙂
Far, far, far too heavy if the thing weighs 13t. I suspect that is the GVM rather then the buses actual weight however. Not sure about it’s hiway speed noise and ride, that’s 90% of overlanding after all
ok turn this into a camper and it'll become one hell of a recreational vehicle
I think that is what everyone that is watching this thinking hahaha
Sheeesh
@@skinman499 this is the only good episode of 2022 Top Gear so far.
We are working on a camper. Best regards Torsus Germany
There’s a camper model-
For anyone wondering why he left off the price: $185k bare bones, $445k loaded. Not for sale in the US.
Volume is key,
Why isnt it available in the USA
Not bad for a tour bus.
@@nikobellic3526 It's not exactly a big company. Also, legal shenanigans.
Damm a good zombie vehicle
A 6.9L engine. N I C E!
Seriously though, this is an amazing piece of engineering!
“We’re just visitors. We don’t own anything. We owned, by Mother Nature.” Well said, Mr. Maurizio!
Somebody owns a 200k bus that can go up a volcano tho
😜👍🏻
I agree with the Man-lion
My parent taking bus to school be like:
Top Gear has always been a travel show but with cars to me.
Another great episode
This is fake top gear.
@@brelshar4968 keep crying, it's enjoyable.
@@brelshar4968 so true. top gear finished years ago. what is this rubbish :(
@@brelshar4968 2000s Top Gear are far better, Brelshar.
@Tuva yep. 2009 Top Gear are better.
Tom Ford! we need to see more of this guy. Maybe give him Paddy's job.
Agreed!
0:40 those mountains look like they were taken straight from a painting.
Or a certain game....🤔
Pretty cool isn't it? Nature is fantastic!

He was also a columnist for Top Gear Magazine back in the day, not sure if he still is.
The last message was so good, it was heavy with the heart. We don't own the nature, The nature owns us.
yes it felt good agreed
Nice to see Tom Ford doing Top Gear videos
I want this, I would own it and just go off-road
i think that's why it exists
If they made a smaller version of this, they could turn it into the next VW bus.
There is a bus of Torsus, the Torsus Terrastorm, which is based on a Volkswagen Crafter 4Motion chassis.
Yes it is correctly, a example is the Same chassis VW Toureg and Porsche Cayenne.
Bus 4x4 in Australia have been making tough 4x4 buses for decades. Mostly used to haul people to mine sites. If they can handle the outback then they can sure handle a smokey hill
Love what he said about the Volcano, that's beautiful man ♂️
I can't help but play the magic school bus theme song over this video and I'm dieing
They certainly took the not standard tourist route up etna. I want in!!!
Wonderful piece of journalism. Makes me appreciate the art of vehicles and the landmark sites.
The end part is heartfelt indeed..Heaven on earth..cheers Tom...

THE BUS:"Torsus"
Me:The sus bus XD
Sod the bus, Maurizio is a handsome chap
Now let’s give it to The Grand Tour and see what it is actually capable of. The only thing I saw was a dirt road.
Honestly Maurizio's bit was perhaps more exciting than the rest of the video

search for explorer magaziin torsus pretorian, they drive that thing in real ofroad

Good to see Tom Ford!
Given that he is very busy with the fashion world, good to see him behind the wheel of some fine machinery.
Imagine this thing having a full solar panel roof and being electric powered! It'd be unstoppable!!

In the DRC they’ll love this
Notice the 34 of Tom's mates couldn't make it, he'd have been better with a scooter 😂😂
You make this electric, strap on solar panels, and baby, you got one hell of a quiet, nature loving machine.
Asian Parents finally can show how they went to school everyday
Awsome vehicle and video. Any chance when you talk about hight and distance you could also use metric too? I was never taught imperial and the figures just don’t make sense😬. Thank you
My dad needed this car on his way to school
The school bus I recommended to my dad after he told me he had to go 500 miles up hill in constant rain with tornados to classes
4:30 that’s actually what looks like a fully manual transmission vehicle😮5:09 Not a “tipmatic”.
Cool bus. I want to go to volcano inside this bus)
If it's the f-150 of busses then we should be happy the motor didn't rot out half way
@george ion its the biggest selling vehicle in the US so... I doubt its not that bad. I don't live in the US btw.
That view is just.. wauwww

I’ll take this over a Unimog everyday. Too many breakdown here where I’m from.
Imagine that in a Racing Game like FH5.
This is insane

@@augustinealosious7971 oh god.....ivdem mallu 😂
@@ഒച്ചുണ്ണി-ഝ9ഗ hehe mwnaaa
It is truly an armored tank reincarnated as a bus 😂😂
If it makes sense
when getting the kids to school is a prime directive
After just coming home from Iceland, this bus looks… cute xD
Ukrainian, yes... but with a name like Vakhtung Jojishvili, it's Georgian at heart. The world's greatest marshrutka!
Happy for another great product from Slovakia 🇸🇰
That's not a school bus
That's It's-cool bus
I am pretty sure that hill is quite old
This would make the lives of those nepalese schoolkids a lot more easy
lets see some wheel lifts and flexing
This is something you would hear Jeremy Clarkson saying 0:01
CLARKSOOOON
love how he's talking about the beasty offroad ability while driving up a hill i could climb with my kia fwd
Thanks 👍🏻
Only if my grandpa had this bus, his home to school journey would've been so much less adventures...
So sick
Nice
This is an Awesome vehicle. I wish they can make an Electric expedition vehicles?
THAT ONLY ON ENGINE NOT INCLUDING ON TRANSMISSION (PROPELLER) CAN BE USE AS ELECTRIC GENERATOR.
Pensaram em tudo menos no freio de estacionamento. Pneu calçado na roda esquerda dianteira parado na descida... Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Reminds me of the UAZ Buhanka
Whistlindiesel should test it
Nice 🚌.
yes. this is lit fam
Too high for off-road! I would never feel safe inside it waiting for it to fall on it's side!
Cool
7:16 what the hell are tom araya doing in there?!?
its missing the granade launchers and machines guns
we want jeremy back! :)
Finally no paddy I can watch this
We could use some of these Himalayas
This is written well
00:09 I know it’s built on an MAN trucknology chassis. Is it based on a TGX or TGS? 7:15
This is basically how bus driver drive
It didn't seem like you gave it much of a challenge though.
OK take my money 💰 , deliver right here in Sahara
Interesting stuff is the price
What is the pint of showing a vehicle empty designed for carrying people?
_"..pretty much wherever you wanna go"_
"Ukraine included?"
What is thr brand name of this bus and the model
Came to watch and confirm despite all the effort still can’t touch the grand tour.
There's very small number of use cases for this vehicle, some Hicks gonna buy it and use it to go to wallmart.
Terrorbyte reference ?
F150 of buses, dang the rest of the world really thinks F150s handle good off road lol
Where is the off road? This is just dirt path, I want to see some flex
How Seats, people, Can be inside it ?
It is cool bus
Did he used to be on fifth gear back in the day???
Буханка на максималках!
Too tall, kinda scary on mountain routes...😰
Cart springs?
That Italian's mans English was superb 👌🏻
They need to make a camper
I want that in Crossout 😂
"...they were moving people inefficiently in suvs instead of buses" sounds like the us to me
Lol amen
Walkable volcanos when?
@@AMacProOwner when someone builds a mall there
I stopped watching Top Gear some time ago, but THIS caught my attention.
In an RV configuration, this has got to be the most ultimate overlander on the market!!
What is the point of overlander when we have decent roads everywhere in Europe.
Delica gran papa

Saw the title and thought, oh I bet wookie is doing this one. Happy to say I was right. Can we get more Tom Ford on the channel please? Cheers!
"Sorry kids, no more snow days!"
what about the teachers though ?
😅
