Top Gear: Killing a Toyota Part 1

[sugarplum33]

I loved yesterdays episode

[ILJlM]

yea yesterdays was one of the best i think

[MintAs94]

They still have that very truck in the studio today.

[MintAs94]

That is amazing.

[kryptikwcu]

Makes me wish I hadn't sold my Toyota.

[dimmy4simmy]

i love top gear its funny :D

[kewlsan]

There is a reason why Toyota is the best selling car maker in the world. Hell now its the best selling in America. Americans themselves are fed up with expensive, ugly designed, unreliable gas eaters. People are mush better off with a Toyota or Honda.

[mrrad1]

Top Gear is awesome!!!

[ILJlM]

i second dat top gea\r is brilliant

[mrrad1]

:D right on!

[yaja212]

i heard hitting the tree got clarkson in a spot of trouble... that true?

[Evilpbrain]

Try doing that to a volvo and see how save it is

[McGrym]

try doing all that to a ford, see how it goes.

[ChuckManiac]

That is why Toyota is the best seller in the world. Surpassed GM, for Toyota is cheap, economical and very reliable. The number one imports in Middle Eastern countries for it can handle rough weathers and road conditions.

[qball0203]

they should send these over to iraq

[86macca]

i own a 89 2.8 diesel hilux and they are unstoppable creek crossings hillclimbs sand and mud through the aussie outback and still goes after 400 000 with out a rebuild!

[BlueBlizz]

No General! I dont want a Humvee! I want a 1000 quid Toytoa Hilux!

[maximotohuj]

This is beautiful job !!

[dangon007]

put'er in a demo derby

[fleemanson]

brilliant episode probably my favorate 1

[wazztie16]

i don't think u've quite got this-

we've got to get it back.

lmfao

[wazztie16]

they shud hav hit it with a train lool

could it survive that??

[NobuoMusicMaker]

This is why Jeremy Clarkson refuses to put Top Gear in America. Them and their American cars. Ford and GM are going downhill in the car industry.

[Zdaytona05]

he refuses to put it here, because his smug arrgonace wouldn't work here. He just likely to be punch in his face

[mobious67]

yup

[JgHaverty]

Wrong. Theres not much of a demand for Top Gear in america. "Pimp my ride" is more of what people in america want.

[btinder711]

Please provide statistics.

[Jonnypinny]

1 in 4 americans cant locate usa in a world map

retarded

[touchcoma]

how can they not, 1 1/2 of a fucking continent

[Buhundred]

If you hate Ford and you want all their cars to stop being made then take this and paste it to 3 more vids if you dont then stupid old american ford will still be here

[kx125king1997]

your an idiot ford is one of the most reliable car companies out there my 1999 ford f-150 runs perfect drives perfect and everything never had a problem with it ford sells 127 f-150s an hour thats a million an year when they sell 1 million toyota shit boxes a year repost this but from now on close your fucken mouth

[CadillacTone]

Ford's are crap shit.

[Zdaytona05]

they sell that many becuase they are used for replaciable work trucks, not for people who want to keep them. They are poorly made piece of cheap shit

[diediego]

Yeee Japanese cars are forever, American cars are whatever: D XD

[Ciaranmor747]

It just seems that the Japanese cars (mainly Toyota and Honda) are the most reliable and quite powerful as well. I have a Renault Scenic and it just falls apart after 3 years of work, and it's completely useless as well. But I also have a Honda Civic and it's powerful and reliable. Like I said, the Japanese cars are better.

[NSX86R]

Wow I, i i i Don't believe it! That is amazing!! I thought when it hit the beach and took a dump into the saltwater for 5hrs I thought there is noooooo way that was going to survive that. But...IT's STILL RUNNING!!!!! That is a testimony of serious quaility that is still found in these Toyoda and Honda cars.

[JohnFromSpace]

I didnt see a Honday in the vid =/

Did you just need to throw that in there =P

[NSX86R]

Not Hyundai it's Honda, BIG difference. Yes I threw it in there because they are one of the best car companies that will get more for your money. =P

[JohnFromSpace]

I agree my Civic gets 37 mpg but its so slow. Reliable though.

[xColonelMustardx]

I'm just speechless. Toyotas are great (barring the prius), my dad sold his 4 runner '88 after many years of faithful service.

[googill]

this car is so cool but where tune from the tune cool so cool  poor pick up

[90Turbo7m]

toyota powa!

[vietkid20062007]

i love watching this video haha toyota trucks are unstopable!!! hahaha my dad use to have one but he sold it damn i would have loved it haha it was a 88 toyota pickup 5 speed manual 4x4

[TungstenIHC]

1984 or something like that

[snorkleboy123]

WHAT YEAR IS THE TRUCK?

[skaterkid901]

It's an E-reg, which is 1985. It's 22 years old. And I like his comments about Bristol too; I live there. :)

[robertb700]

it`s an e reg toyota hilux,august87 to august 88. 1985 would be a c plate

[tsudohnimh]

i have hummer h2 and a toyota pick up truck. i had a car crash, nothing hapend to the car. anyway the film was brilant.

[theokidokis]

get a decent server, this thing works like a british car

[forkedroad]

actually i woulnt mind having one of these... where u can mess around with.. not caring if u dent ur car or anything.....

as long as i hav all the legal requirements to drive one on the road..

[RMCDOXX0]

How much are one of these?

[forkedroad]

jeremy said 1000 pounds... it is actually approx. $1,996.60.

its old... well he said its 13 yrs ago, but idk when they shot this episode... again, approx. from the early 90's or late 80's of course.

[Superior1979]

This is a basic "bed of nails trick"!! Nothing spectacular!!

[p2proxtheworld]

I have a Toyota, too ('95 Lexus SC400). This is an awesome Top Gear video on Toyota.

[mattrandle1]

That Toyota pick up truck is very strong

[Superior1979]

No its not!! the axle is too prone to breaking!!

[DelayedStone]

no its not i have a hilux at my work on the farm you can abuise the shit out of the axle the diff and everythink and it still wants to keep going

[Superior1979]

You probably havent abused it enough!!

Go to any hilux forum, or read any long term review of the hilux, and you'll see the axle's are very prone to breaking!!

[DelayedStone]

yeah the older ones are i agree with you but the newer ones are very tough work horses

[Superior1979]

I'm talking about the (old to newish ones).

The newest version of hilux is completely softened down... with IFS... and low ground clearance... it's a a completely different vehicle altogether... more like a ute version of the rav4...

[Eclipse538]

since when?! customtacos dot com. everyday poster, and toyota owner...

[Superior1979]

taco is not a hilux !!

[Eclipse538]

its the same truck bro. minor differences.

[Superior1979]

Absolutely not!!!

Similar appearance, similar class!

But totally different platform....

[NKdude]

meh, most of that was bullshit except the drowning it part.

[amceagle80]

that is bull.

[breenVA]

I have respect for my Altis now.

[MTFDarkEagle]

hehehe :P

[grinchsmate]

i have the exact same model 320 000 km only new part on it is the suspension runs like new

[lamancha2]

The tinkly music-box music is based on Ennio Morricone's score for "For a Few Dollars More", which was the second of those Clint Eastwood "man with no name" westerns. It's part of the plot - the villain has a pocket watch that plays the tune, and when the clockwork winds down he draws his gun and fires. In the end he meets his match.

[clubpenguin777]

dont swear

[banger134]

you can find the music on extrememusic dot com

[malerror]

I drive a 1986 Toyota Tercel Wagon with Cold A/C. It has 350 K miles on it. Just recently blew a head gasket after a long drive thru a very hot desert area. The tow charge was more than the actual repair charge, It runs even better now.

[fabinburg]

No way, That's amasing.. My brother has a Toyota 4 runner which is exacly the same as that truck.

[NBTrav]

haha toyota's are sweet

[lemontart2]

the most strongest car in the world. Even when they give it to james may...

[jimmytheexploder2791]

argh - does anyone know what the music playing in the begining is, where clarkson first introduces the toyota?

[slimeytoes]

I had a 1986 Toyota 4x4 pickup, I bought it from Nancy Carrigan's brother. Drove it from MA to FL 6 times. Wore out it's restrictor pins so I sold it. I had put a wooden bed on it, it's metal bed had rusted out. It'd still own it if I had a place to keep it.

[EmzoXxXrawrXxX]

ALT F4 closes your window retard

[Wantabanana]

Hitting the tree was just wrong. It wasn't that hard, but what did the tree do to deserve that?

[genghis6199]

grrrr. why can't it load without stopping?. this sux.

[Albanianator]

yea i have 100mbps and still stops

[scottie9678]

This video is so old. It was taped about some 3-4 years ago.

[Monco58]

What a total faker! Most of the stuff they did was purely cosmetical damage, like the wrecking ball. They simply grazed the hood and bumped it gently into the back. Toyota is an ok brand and quite sturdy, but that was just a total piece of s**t! Clearly a Toyota financed episode, amounting to nothing more than an ad for a new model.

[Doug416217]

Let me guess, you're american. That is the only reason I can think of for your ignorance. Top Gear is a BBC funded show, BBC do not advertise and It's only a joke, thats what Top Gear is all about, just dossing about, its not real!

[Monco58]

Lol, I'm not American, so there goes your theory. I'm Finnish. So you must then be British, because of your condascending post (ie. American's are ignorant) and your love of the Beep. I didn't mean that it was a traditional commercial you boob, but a paid episode of Top Gear. You could clearly see they had a Toyota-theme going on there. Think before you post next time, please!

[Delboy001647363]

There is no such thing as a 'paid' episode of a bbc show. The bbc is funded by the TV license paid by each and every member of the british viewing public who owns a tv. It is a requirement of law. We get £1000 fine if we don't pay it. This is why there are no adverts on the bbc.

[slimeytoes]

I wouldn't put my 2006 Toyota Tacoma to that test even when it's old and tired. After owning two of the pickups before they called them "Tacoma", I can see they're not what they used to be.

[Perferatted]

Toyota camery 1991 247000 miles. still going strong. Live on dirt road in the mountians

[jplarch]

Hell yea Toyota Camry 1989 still TRECKING! 180 000 miles I love my bad boy!

As soon as I get out of college I am getting a Toyota Spyder ;) TOYOTA FOR LIFE!!

[hkforte]

1989 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 ~ 512,000 miles. This car has been in my family since day one and the vehicle has OUTperformed all my expectations. I currently use it as a rockcrawler and it has never let me down.

[morphineisgod]

95 camry 2dr. 5 spd. 151k i treat this car like shit basically... and whenever i am done i get out and look at it. it looks back at me as if to say is that all u got?

[rl0u8888]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooool

[souljaboi58]

what is that..spanish type music in this clip?

[irpwny]

It's from the good, the bad and the ugly

[ABlackGuyFootball]

American Cars = unreliable with many features and decent power

Japanese Cars = a very reliable yet even more gutless engine on wheels.. thats about it

European Cars = the perfect mix of both with some added flavor to get chicks... but you have to pay for it

[TheXenu]

You're an idiot. : )

[redbeast2]

Yay, because we all know stereotypes are correct....

[Monco58]

FYI, European cars are rated the lowest in reliability by major publications, including JD Power & Associates. So you might want to get your facts straight before posting...

[Superior1979]

whats more reliable then benz & bmw ?

[cheeko1]

domestic= ugly and unreliable simple as that

[bigodhk]

ha ur a joke...so your telling me cars like the Camry, Corolla, Civic, Accord, Sonota,Highlander,Pilot... are better looking than the Ford Fusion, Saturn Aura, Upcoming Chevy Malibu, Ford Edge, and GM's Enclave, Outlook, and Acadia???

btw whos had the most reacalls so far this year?

[kaox44]

...I don't see anyone(the consumers)praising any of those American cars and it shows with sales of those cars also.

...btw, I wouldn't trust my life with a American car...it just fell so cheap and ....ugly.

[haunterex]

yes.

[eeePPP]

ford f150 ROFL, that really cracked me up

[BubbytheTourG]

I can't believe you destroyed the Top Gear Production Office!!! That poor little wooden shed!!!!

[EnthronedStalker]

TOYOTA is the best.. :D

[topgearfreaku2]

amazing :p i don't know what i can say

[topgearfreaku2]

haha wacky so fool

[gloomyoutlook]

this is a rip off of the Fifth Gear attempt to destroy a Mercedes...

[redbeast2]

The other way around.

[frankshoehorn]

Top Gear did this around 2 years ago. Fifth Gear ripped them off when they did their boring Merc test last year.

[gloomyoutlook]

oh dang... bastards.

[anjmehra]

actually top gear did this first...fifth gear ripped it off top gear!

[ichigoismyhomie]

they should do a next show on killing a Ford...(F-150 that is) we should put their word to the test...Ford..Built for though

[frankshoehorn]

Ford. Ha. The F150 is so great that they dont sell it in Europe and probably dont sell it in Asia either unlike the Toyota which is sold everywhere.

[AugustKamppur]

Yah. It doesn't have an international appeal or market because of its greatness!

[S70T5]

ford tough is about as strong as a wet tissue.

[DC322]

Try destroying the F-150. Toughest truck.

[Spartan500]

not that hard my dad hit one in the rear with a 54 chevy wagon not even going fast talk about ford tough

[redbeast2]

Look at the JD Power reliability ratings for the F-150... compare it to toyota pickups... you shouldn't be such a redneck, use your brain.

[freeurmind101]

Haha in South Africa we only use Toyotas in the bush mainly, theyre the only ones strong enough and you get to know all the dents it gets after time like you know the scars on ur body.

[redbeast2]

Why would you have scars on your body.

[ohglobbits]

meerkats

[ECOalition]

Boards of Canada! Yeah!

[aintjimmy]

Whoare scottish for some reason.

[tenaciousd2005]

Fail

[budgray18]

wow im gettn a toyota and the truck dosnt look too bad (when its newer)

[Golemzzz]

zomg, it invincible (i dont think they swong the wrecking ball at full speed)

[SilentmanX]

Brilliant...Absalutely Brilliant, 5/5

Whats the name of the soundtrack?

[FreeWillFreeRide]

My next car is a toyota

[abhistang]

And on the 8th day, god created TOYOTA!!

[FabMcLaren]

My father have to drive much offroad for his job. He used to drive a Toyota Hilux 2.7TD (mod1995), it goes everywhere on any track and we never had any problem with it. Now, he drives an Isuzu pick up, it also goes anywhere, but he sometimes have problems with brakes.

=>The Toyota is better...

[simondoek]

realy very cool video 5/5

[vectorm1299]

Brilliant, Just shows new cars have nothing on the older ones

[elpatriotaLX]

Not it shows that Toyota has always been top quality.

[drunkasalways]

1st comment booh yeah!
