wantafanta01 not sure about bikes, the things that need to be done isn’t insane on my E350...10k/annual oil changes, Brake fluid replacement every 20k, 45k for spark plugs, 77.5k for transmission.

Perhaps one of the greatest segments in television history. I wish i could watch this for the first time again.
every few months i come back and watch it, next best thing really
I just did
One of the best ever segments covered by Top Gear, would love to see it done again on the grand tour!
This was OK. Would be dull covered on The Grand Snore.
@@skylined5534 you would probably have enjoyed it more if they removed the truck, host and backgrounds then replaced all that with a couple dudes, lubed head to toe, exploring how deep their holes go. or better yet, you, im sure, wish you were one of those dudes getting your hole deeply explored.
Who needs a nuclear bomb shelter when you have a HiLux?

In 1945 U.S.A has dropped a nuke on Nagasaki lot of people had died but some people in the blast has been saved be a truck call a toyota hulix.

352,485 on mine, just had timing chain replaced 3k miles ago. My truck is ugly as shit but I love it
What Toyota are you guys driving? I am thinking of getting a Toyota Sequoia do you guys think are they any reliable?
Affan Khan buy volvo.
Not a Hilux, but mine is an 80's Landcruiser ute with a 12H-T. Definitely not a chick's grocery-getter.

Anyone who's ever owned this model Toyota pickup already knows...
My brother has a 86 pickup that sadly blew up the 22r in it
My ex had an 81 with 500k miles 😂
My friend had a 1990 Hilux. I drove it a few times and I can tell you it’s built like a tank. It survived a rollover accident 10 years ago and still going strong.
Haha pickup it a Ute
Friend of mine had a fendt tractor crashing into the hilux, topping it over, with the its tractor front wheels resting on the hilux 's doors. They flipped it back and drove it back to the farmhouse
I will never understand how Jeremy C. whistles so calmly as he throws a torch into the Toyota

Toyota has the highest quality standards in the world of any car manufacturer...now I believe it.
yah- it's true.. Japanese car makers in particular use the 'Kaizen' system to ensure their production quality is of a very high standard
@@jub8891 toyota more than others though. not every japanese car is reliable. also mercedes used to be like toyota before if not even more so. the first car to reach millions miles is a mercedes
Mercs up until 1995 were tanks I mean possibly the best cars in the world
BMW's were good until 1997. After that the electronics just made them fragile and were cheaply made.
*used to have
Ah, so this is why this car isn't sold in the US of A. Can't have this indestructible beast roaming the streets. It would put mechanics and the insurance companies out of business!!!

5:18 “as a result of destroying the production office, this episode won’t air until 2023. In the meantime, we threw the truck from a building”
I was privileged enough to see this car at the birmingham motor show with my father and brother. I will never forget how it looked on that plinth in around 2003 or 2004. Magic memories!
And 9 years later... My hilux 3.0 vigo is still sticking kicking up. It just won't give up no matter where I take this beastly thing. To show my gratitude, I gave her a nice 6 inch lift with Buckshot mudder tires. I'll also be changing the timing belt and clutch for the first time even though I still didn't have any problem with them.
that proves that these things can live very long
there is a ton of them in my country
Only 9 years?
U mean a timing chain !

Russia developed a tank that could survive a nearby nuclear blast and I bet my left kidney that this Toyota would do that even better .
Boy you gon get a third damn kidney with a bet like that. Japan would've won WWII if they came up with the Hilux back then.

How about your right kidney?
