Lol I just bought a Toyota Corolla a week ago
Yeah but a war can.
So no one's gonna appreciate that the mechanic literally revived the truck from dead without spares?
I do, that's real skill. Mechanics here in America only know to replace parts, they tell you just to buy a new engine, or a new vehicle if the wear is considerable.
@@linkbond08 They do the same thing in Britain and Europe for routine jobs. Obviously they found a highly skilled mechanic who was up to the task since this was a unique challenge. Meanwhile in backwoods, USA some dude is jerry-rigging some old beater
Honestly, that mechanic deserves as much praise as the designers of that truck.
The true unsung hero of this whole piece.
It's a Toyota not a chrysler
They should have given the mechanic who repaired that a shout-out. That guy is a miracle worker.
IKR? And with *no spare parts!*
English mechanics are truly something else!
Well, it is a Toyota, so I can't imagine it was that hard to repair
@@yuanwang9324easier to work on that top gear hilux than a German car after 10k km scheduled maintenance
The mechanic who fixed her even drove it into the studio!
My dad's old F250 had nearly 400,000 miles on it by the time we finally sold it, and it had been driven though a literal tornado. '90s trucks are probably the closest things to street-legal tanks.
apart from real tanks
Tanks are actually street legal, as long as you have rubber tracks and non functional guns you can register and drive them
@@calcutt4 I'm glad I know this now 🤣
Mercedes-Benz G-Class: Am I a joke to you? but seriously the g class is very very strong and is the closest thing to a tank right now but yeah 90s trucks are still very strong

22 yrs
I have owned multiple '87 pickups and 4Runners. They brought me to beautiful, remote places, despite being, old, neglected, and ugly. This video still brings a tear to my eye.
Ugly? I think they are beautiful. Modern cars try too hard to look futuristic.
Part 4 | Killing a Land Rover - Drive it off of the lot.
You should've stopped at "drive it"
I can 100% confirm this is true.
Depends. If it's a Series Land Rover, they're bullet proof. Need fixing a lot though, but they're very old now. Most are still working around the world though

“What’s wrong with her now?”
Last 7 youtube videos i checked had a gta reference in the top comments hahahah
😂
I was genuinely impressed by the resilience of this vehicle. But then again, perhaps it’s not so surprising that a Japanese brand such as Toyota, would make cars able to survive earthquakes and tsunamis! I was very happy that, after suffering so much, the Toyota rightfully earned a place of honor on the shows studio. 👍
It's an old Toyota. But generally, Toyota's reliability are great!
At the end of the program it was hung from the ceiling of the the studio wall.
Easily one of my top 3 favourite top gear moments. I remember watching this for the very first time absolutely in shock, awe and excitement at both the strength and tenacity of the Toyota and the ingenious creativity of the Top Gear crew! 10/10 as a man I adore these three legends and hope to god I can meet them one day to shake their hands and thank them personally. Top Gear, Top Blokes 👌
Top Gear, with the Top Gear Trio of Hammond, Clarkson, and May, are what I call "desert island programming". It was a show that was broadcast for nearly 15 years, with such incredible writing and acting ability, that if I were stranded on a desert island, Top Gear would be my choice of programming. So many episodes and so many iconic moments, it could last a lifetime. This moment also solidified my admiration for the Toyota Hilux. It is truly an apocalypse truck. I've always carried this footage with me in my mind.
@@gfys756 I agree with every word you just typed there mate.
I believe this was the first truly viral moment from the show as it was still in the early days and it wasn’t certain that how long the reboot was gonna go on for.
Top gear: can we kill you? Toyota: no but actually no
The exterior of the car: Yes The part that makes the car run: But actually no
beanard the frame was held together by the rust. Talk about ingenuity. When the frame rusts away, the rust will protect the Toyota 😂
Also Toyota: *Uno Reverse Card*
El Toyota actual es una completa mi**da, ya no son los de antes. Ya los coreanos les están ganando.

"Drops caravan on Toyota Hilux" "CARAVAN BREAKS"
@Ben Daulton they still dropped a caravan on it tho. Also cant u tell it's a joke?
@Ben Daulton uh oh someone’s mad that their favorite caravan gets destroyedddd
Hilux is too good
@Ben Daulton fun police arresting people having fun it seems
on a bugatti the carvan will sirvive, thats why toyota is betterLOL
That mechanic is the true legend
That pickup is like an japanese imperial soldier Surrender is not an option
There's a reason the Hilux is banned in america, it would shut down all American truck makers
Toyota Hilux is the Toyota Tacoma which we have.
Squeek Tate Hilux and tacoma is not the same car. They have different design and dimensions.
+BadIdeas101 The "Pickup" model is a hilux with different front suspension and trim options.
tacoma? this car only made for latinomerican country.. in USA use a Tundra trucks
How are you going to tell me that we don't have Tacoma's here in the US when I used to own one?
Me: *tries to kill toyota by removing the engine* Toyota: *still starts up* Me: 😮
Now it runs on air
@@ferraricar7352 Engines technically somewhat run on air, because the combustion engine needs a mixture of fuel and air to run. So you're not wrong there.
It runs on life now

Might be too late
Conservative Truth /: Okay probably would be really rusted but would probably still survive longer than most of the other cars
They used them in wars, they're good
@@KevinR3i if it can survive an fall from an building it can handle enough yeah
KevinR3i nah apparently ISIS started using Chevy trucks recently. Someone said they found out about LS swap 😂
I think my chrysler broke while I was watching this video
😂😂😂
Yup that's what I thought
It'll break even if you didn't watch this video
Lmao hahahaha
😁😂😂😂
Had one of these trucks. Damn thing was literally unkillable. Dad sank it in the river trying to drive across the shallow spots to a sandbar and sank it in a hole, had to leave it there overnight. Took 3 trucks and some digging to pull it out. Cranked right up and drove it away. We still laugh about it today.
Im pretty sure you are from australia. Noice story
To answer one of your questions, yes, you can get decapitated if your car went under a truck. However most trucks have a guard to stop that from happening but there was a time before this when you could
It’s always the frame corrosion that gets them in the end. Legendary trucks.
That’s the problem with tube frames they trap moisture and rust. But they are strong as hell
What you're telling me is these machines would rather revert back to their natural state before they break down? They will literally break down before they break down
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn they last long as hell but if there is any salt where you are they will rot way fast. The trucks are durable and most problems you can easy fix your self.
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn yep. That's actually how most old toyotas met their demise in Vladivostok
Only time and nature can kill this truck.

American auto makers could never produce a truck like that . That's quality
Well said!!!!
They could. They just don't, which is worse.

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.
That mechanic is Omni level amazing. Consider this - not only had the truck had been underwater for hours, this was the first time anyone had to work on a Hilux.
Toyota’s best ever advertisement was paid for by the BBC 😂
Hamish Christie Toyota’s best advertising/ stress testing are terror groups
Toyota needs no advertisement.
for sure, look at the Windscreen before camper drop
The best avertisement is all the militias in the middle East and North Africa converting these into technicals.
BBC VS. TOYOTA HILUX
As a Japanese, I'm so proud that we're able to produce such high quality automobile.
Thank you:)
Someone had a really interesting explanation recently, they said it's because after ww2 there were restrictions on Japan. Because of this, there were limited/no space engineering and rocket science careers. So what did all their brilliant minded engineers turn to since there was no further highest level like a NASA equivalent? You guessed it. Cars.
hilux is famous in Peru. Mining companies buy them in bulk because they are one of few trucks that can actually work at high altitudes of over 4000 meters
@@1lyxbollyvykn714 There was a rumor awhile back that said if you had ''that'' particular engine and it still ran, any dealer would give you a brand new truck for it.

The difference between this version with the changed soundtrack and the original is amazing. When I see it with Ennio Morricones music from Sergio Leones Spaghetti Westerns, it gives me chills. One of Top Gears best moments and an excellent soundtrack choice.

whats the name of the hilux used in this video?

I will never understand how Jeremy C. whistles so calmly as he throws a torch into the Toyota
I remember watching this with as a kid and it's just as fun to watch today as it is right now.
What’s funny is that the Toyota Hilux lasted longer then the legendary trio
There still here but on te grand tour show
There may be some wrongs in your words. The trio's relationship is as durable as this brilliant little truck. The only one that didn't last as long as the hilux is the trio's time in top gear.
But if you meant about the time the hilux has spent. It truly has surpassed the trio.

It longs last than Top Gear program itself.

So a hilux is basically a nokia 3310 with wheels
"she was all kinds of messed up. Her frame was twisted, bent, battered, abuse, and wrecked. No one thought of her anything more than a scrap heap. No one thought that she could even remotely have any fight left in her, yet she did. She never quit, she never stopped, for her fight wasn't over yet and she wasn't going to give up."
If I had a time machine, I would go back and buy one of these brand new. Jeremy and James have thoroughly convinced me that the thing is immortal. The Count Dracula of cars
If Nokia decided to make a car- oh wait, no they wouldn’t! They’re already doing enough. They probably merged with Toyota behind our backs for the single reason “We felt like making an immortal car, they felt like making an immortal car, the BBC felt like making an immortal car, so we just rolled with it.”

When Toyota and nokia comes together ,you get the Toyota pickup truck in cheap price 🤣
I got a 90s Chevy Van thats still going strong but a bit rusty, and my friend just got his 90s Jeep Wrangler fixed after being in its like 3rd accident. The Civic was done, this got totaled because insurance says its only worth like $5k but all it needed was a fuel pump. We replaced the tank anyway since it got bent, and a hitch woulda saved it. Now with new bumpers on it (for $450) it'll be more likely to survive the next one. Never really was a fan of Jeep, I know of endless issues especially with newer ones, but damn is that thing going.
No one’s gonna talk about the Top Gear Production Office?

Reminds me of my Celica. Had a new car, put the Celica away in a moisty garage and forgot about it. 3 years went by, new battery and it started like it was new. 30 years that car drove in all sorts of conditions , the only thing i had to replace was the radiator untill the head gasket started to leak 😢 Its always started in 2-3 ticks, i always could rely on it. Sadly i had to get rid of it cause the cost to replace it was to great and i couldn't do it by myself. Its still driving today with a new owner. Best car i ever had and will have again as a oldtimer in a couple of years.

The Nokia brick has met its match
I had an 88' Camry that I've beat and tortured. I delivered food in it and didn't change the oil or even check it for ≥ 30k miles, brought it mudding, it was t boned and I just rubbed the dent out and used the insurance money to replace the exhaust manifold, raced newer ricer cars in it at merges and won, j turns, power slides, ran over concrete curbs for a short cut, rammed ice snow banks, and was still able to sell it for $700. I loved that car
And you probably miss it.
and it plob drinks oil like its going out of style, and now the new owner has to pay extra.
