Hilux for Comfort

One of my favourite clips on You Tube is Jeremy Clarkson’s piece on his attempts to destroy a Toyota Hilux 4WD.

Needless to say he has to set fire to it to administer the coup de grace, but prior to that it withstands driving down steep steps, crashing into a tree, being dropped by a crane, hit by a wrecking ball, submersion in the sea, and having a caravan dropped on it – and it still keeps going.

I think everyone who has been around 4Wheeling for any length of time will have marvelled at the Hilux’s ability to go on and on, and it’s no accident that they have become the working vehicle of choice for farmers, foresters and DoC.
