  • Now lets do this with a Ferrari.

  • whats the song name pls when the engine start again

  • putting a car on top of a building... how bout put it at the bottom floor...

  • @cartzar Yeah I tought about that as well, but NO car would survive that obviously. But it still is amazing that after all the punishing the car went trough it still works.

    what other car could survive this test? I guess none, the proved it's a extrodinary tough car not an indistructible car. true and they do still need to make a SHOW (spectacle) who would watch if It died after 3seconds?

  • This is why Toyota is Toyota.

  • Whats the year of the hilux? I want one haha

  • they only changed the tyres , lol toyota ftw

  • its funny to see all the toyota cheerleaders out there and believe all of this stuff..so easily amused..so easily taken..and so so nieve ......hey everyone...i just bought Hawaii ..i have it for sale on ebay...make me an offer..no reasonable offer's will be turned down ..my name is steve perry ,,,,,,,,and i approved this message

  • @390merc65 Frankly, would you subject your vehicle to this? Unless you're a UAW prick, everyone here, regardless of what they drive, is cheering on that little determinator of a car. I drive a Ford, and have driven Nissans, Hondas, and Toyotas, Toyota still tops the cake. This just proves it.

  • love the fist full of dollars theme lol

  • I own a toyota so I am bias, but it would have been more impressive to have real type situations to try and kill it, like massively exceeding its payload around a track while maxing out its rpm in first gear and compare it to a different make velicle that blow the engine before the toyota. Comparisons we can relate to. How can we know what damage can become of a falling building or flooding it with water, but I do know the fire damaged everything about the truck. It was done then.

  • its a hilux thing.

  • Thumbs up if you smiled when you heard the engine start! :D

  • @MrSeba1670 I smiled. And I cried!

  • DIESEL POWER FTW

  • if i had to go to war i would choose this car instead of guns and bullet proof vests

  • The only way to kill a toyota is to send it to jupiter.. The gravity there is thousand times stronger than earth, it would turn into a  little ball of metal.

  • @K4inan you could probably still get the engine to turn.

  • one thing these guys should try with a toyota is like in the toyota add where they drop a 40" container on top of one....that WILL kill it...also will be good to see how flat it squashes to

  • WHAT SEASON IS IT!!!!!!!

  • @GrandTheft99210 s03e05 and s03e06 i guess

  • I had the 1987 1 /2 ton with only the 2.4L 22R gasoline engine and used to drive it through plowed snow drifts that were as high as the roof and 8 feet thick and it was just beautiful fun best machine ever built.

  • It's called Christine.

  • I've always wondered what that truck was on the stage.

  • how is that even possible?

  • @Harukoozt japan

  • Shoot the engine block. with a .50 BMG.

  • omg thats all I gotta sayyayyyy

  • you can never kill a toyota

  • Did James get his £20?

  • So just how do you kill a Toyota?

  • @lmeuwriise

    Nuke it from orbit.

    It's the only way to be sure.

  • Had 4 Toyotas and u just cant do better PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am on my 2 4 Runner the bitch is indestructible

  • If that mechanic went to med school instead, cancer, HIV, Herpes, pox, and the common cold would be cured.

  • @braddyboy82 good observation

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota you just hate Toyota and Japan.

  • Looks like it spent a few weeks on the streets of Brooklyn, New York!!

  • DEAD TRUCK ROLLIN!

  • why was there no one in it, no sound of the engine, and a sudden stop when it rolled on stage?

  • @wcat121 if you hear clearly at 3:13 the engine is turned off and at 3:10 there is someone in the car the overhead lighting just didnt show him well

  • i am sur getting a toyota

  • nice potato

  • putts shame to powerstroke, cummins, and izuzu duramax.

  • what the song name when they start the engine after falling

  • I've never heard James May scream... Until now!

  • I like the "For a Few More Dollars" theme song.

  • WTF! If I can only have one car in my lifetime...this is it!

  • 240p we meet again.

  • @prezdanny 240p comment we meet for the 240 millionth time

  • LOL i feaked out cus i thought onlt the 1 one was supposed to go down

  • what model toyota is this??

  • @sexyaztec7687 toyota hilux

  • @sexyaztec7687 ..............

  • They don't make toyotas like that anymore. I'd like to see the new prius after it endured the same tests this one did.

  • There ain't no grave can hold my body down.

    There ain't no grave can hold my body down.

    When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground.

    Ain't no grave can hold my body down.

  • @anoob100 There ain't no grave can hold my hilux down.

  • thats one god damn good mechanic i wish i had

  • @iculol well you can actually buy one for almost 120-200dollars

  • TOYOTA FTW!!!!!

  • Controlled demolition eh... kind of looks like how the twin towers went down.

  • @ottawadrummer One might almost believe there was some sort of conspiracy.

  • Ughhh! I almost had one of these but they guy sold it n HOUR before I called =( I think I almost cried. Haha.

  • that would probably fail MOT.

  • they should name this truck. Chuck Norris!

  • @MEdiEvalSev3n too late, top gear usa already it, i know what ur thinking, they sucked in the beginning but i think they've improved some

  • best toyota commercial i've seen so far...

    

  • The Godmobile!

  • park the damn thing under it and put the thing to rest. I'd bet a chevy s10 could take the same tests easy.

  • It would only take a 2 story building to finish a Ford.

  • I every car was one of these we'd almost certainly have lower insurance premiums!

  • What's the song?

  • There is only one truck that can match the Hilux for durability. The 79 and older Ford F-100/150/250 with the 300 inline 6. I had a '74 Ford F-100 w/ 3 speed and during Hurricane Katrina it spent not a few hours but days under water. When I returned to my home the truck had been out of the water for 3 days. I towed it to my brother's house a few miles away where I started to try to get it running. Using only marvel mystery oil, WD-40, and replacing all the oil it ran; and still runs to this day

  • @wolfgangiceclaw P.S. I did have to replace some parts... Being a gasoline engine the water ruined the ignition so I replaced the points, condenser, ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, and the plugs and wires witch cost me about $75. Plus the oil and Marvel Mystery oil, and WD-40 in all I spent less than $150 to get it running.

  • @wolfgangiceclaw

    but the newer ones - no bloody way xD

  • @rastamees Ya, i would agree. But that would go for any new car. My mother's side of the family has owned nothing but Toyotas since the late 70's and the top quality that Toyota has been know for stopped in the late 80's to early 90's. My grandmother's '01 Corolla with 105,000 miles has fallen completely apart. Ever plastic piece, from door handles, to visors, to part of the dash have broken. And the front suspension dose not hold up to the abuse that Toyotas of the past did.

  • There was a 89' Toyota Hilux aboard the car ferry "Estonia" when it sank in 1994. Maybe they should rise the car and start it, I wouldn't be surprised if it started...

  • What song name 2:34

  • this show is honestly the only thing I really choose to watch tv for

  • World's best mechanic?

  • 6,183 people know what a mans Truck is.

  • For the first time in my LIFE, i wan a Toyota SO BAD!

  • Creapy music 0_o

  • I had not doubt!Its a Toyota!

  • it survived the fire as it only melted the plastics and didnt touch the engine bay.

  • @MrThatGuy122 Sure Chevy fan boy, that's why they didn't use a chevy cuz it wouldve fallen apart on the first test lmao

  • @ForeverInfallable the tree would have cracked the engine block

  • 2:35 what`s name of music

  • @TheMishka74 /watch?v=fdhz5DeQEX0

  • Mother of God...

  • 1987 toyota hilux pre dates fukushima disaster so old toyotas are safest and they also pre-date the sticking accelerator issue also .

  • I want one of those!

  • and he never even got arrested for attempted murder...lol #POORHILUX!

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota

    That's one of the stupidest things I've heard. A lot of them are manufactured here in the United States anyway.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota thats fucking retarded, go home to your wife/cousin and fuck her in the back of your chevy you prick

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota your a dumbshit. you dont know jack shit. go lay in radioactive shit and make this world a better place faggot

  • @blacksheepcommanderX You clearly don't know anything about nuclear chemistry. Either go sound educated and learn some nuclear chemistry at least at a bachelor's level or don't even attempt to argue against my comment. Toyota cars that contain high levels of nuclear radiation will increase your incidence of cancer, infertility and sperm damage and that is a fact.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota Any car that contains high levels of radiation will, BUT NONE DO.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota You realize a majority of Toyota's that are sold in the US are made... in the US.

    

  • @lrossi888 I really feel sorry for this car, I really do. It is hard to admit that Japanese pickups are stronger than us. The Dodge still sounds better though.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota: Dude, please STOP listening to the anti-nuclear bullshit and alarmist nonsense being spewed because of the recent tragedies in Japan-NONE of it is supported by science.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota Nearly everything has radiation in it. X-rays, planes, hell even BANANAS are radioactive. Go learn your chemistry dumbshit

  • @HFCHSvids Banana's radiation is safe. The radioactive form is K40 which is harmless even in large quantities.

    The radiation released from nuclear power plants are much more dangerous. Especially the radiation released from Fukushima, including Plutonium-238, 239 and 240 which will increase the risk of cancer, infertility and sperm damage.

  • @NukedJapaneseToyota luckily for me, both my toyotas were made in the U.S. with American parts long before the power plant accident.

  • When the chimes end, pick up your gun. Go ahead and shoot me Colonel. Just try.

  • The only way to kill a Toyota is with a silver bullet to the engine just after a ritual that only can be performed every 1000 years and there is a 50% chance it might not work

  • who else got goosebumps at 2:35 Amazing Car

  • why don't we use these in the army!!!

    screw hummer!

  • not the car for your wife if you have i high insurance plan

  • 見たか欧米人ども

  • 2:22 - 2:35

  • waht is the music in the background used in 1:07 to 1:28

    and then agian at  2:00 to 2:14 ?

  • The

    One

    You

    Only

    Trust

    Always

  • I want one

  • Sorry, but a VW Jetta would have done as well as this truck. They didn't really do anything amazing to it. The only rough part about riding the roof of the building down to the bottom was the final landing and that amounts to dropping it from 8 feet. The roof materials absorbed the bulk of the impact. IF they really wanted to destroy that vehicle, they could have done it on the very first tree they hit. If it had been moving more than 5mph.

  • @Dogurasu Possibly one of the dumbest comments I've ever read. It's a pity all those people who died in the twin towers didn't realize that all they had to do was stand on the roof, ride the building down and survive dropping the last eight feet.

  • @oldbloke135 You're a real moron.

    The Twin Towers were Sky Scrapers. The building that the Toyota was sitting on was just an average office building. That's the only reason that people like you can actually believe this show because you just don't get it. You can't understand what's really going on. Every thing they do to that truck seems really incredible to you because you just have no clue. None at all.

  • @Dogurasu Ah ha ha ha. I love cynical know-it-alls who don't know what the hell they're talking about. Please sir, continue to enlighten us. I want to hear more.

  • @theeponym That's the problem right there. I'm not a know it all.

    I'm an average person that has a good amount of common sense.

    You're a total moron and so I seem like a know it all to you.

    Just about any diesel vehicle could have survived that same amount of abuse.

    They knew what they were doing when they picked a diesel because diesels are more forgiving when drowned and banged around.

  • I'm proud having this truck

  • @gileraify

    And that's exactly why you like the end results of this show because you really WANT to believe that it's something amazing.

  • @Dogurasu first thing a know-it-all states "im not a know it all" then they go on to tell how the person calling said person a know-it-all is an idiot... like he/she knows the person. but either way... how did the truck just fall 8 feet? was the top of the building not moving until 8 feet? looked like the roof started falling from the top, and not level mind you. sure it may not seem amazing, but know-it-alls dont think there are many things that are amazing it seems.

  • @Dogurasu Please, even from the way you type and express yourself i can tell you are an immature little idiot and you have no clue about the laws of physics or any notion of engineering. Please shut up and be on your way.

  • @Dogurasu The roof materials were solid concrete they aren't going to absorb that much force. Plus an object in motion tends to want to stay in motion. So when the roof came to an abrupt halt the toyota would still be trying to fall at free fall speed making for quite an impact

  • Why don't the doors go up when they open

  • that truck is to an average person at that point would be whatever they could get for scrap metal, but to top gear its priceless

  • you could survive the twin tower collapse in that truck lol

  • And that's why I love mine, 178,000 miles, drives like a dream

  • Same as a subaru brumby fucking thing never die

  • Hard to believe the same company that made the Hilux also crapped out that abortion known as the Prius

  • if i wasn't broke most of the time i would buy that truck and smob - (smash/mob.....)...Ca, talk for drive recklessly in it

  • Truck Norris

  • that might be the Chuck Norris of mechanics

  • thts truck norris!!

  • That's nothing... give it to a teenager for the summer and it will never run again. ;)

  • next one who tell that toyota sucks i gonna kill him

  • @kilozone toyotas suck

  • @MrThatguy122 if i had you in front of me you will died

  • @kilozone i dout that

    

  • @MrThatguy122 years sgo i hated toyota, but in all honesty, they are one of the most reliable brands out there, there just as good as any honda

  • @lol123321123321 ill stick with chevy

  • @MrThatguy122 U can keep your chevy.

  • @VIEW8472 my chevy will outlast any toy

  • @MrThatguy122 Maybe back in the day but not anymore.

  • this car is an nightmare to any insurance company

  • 3 more years...and I can get one..i wont need insurance! YAY!!!!

  • hit this truck with an Atom Bomb... don a radiation suit, drive it away.

  • A legendary piece and a legendary car!

    Top Gear at its best!

  • it stands a way better chance on the roof then parked next to the building

  • Not even Chuck Norris, Godzilla, or the Atomic Bomb would kill it.

  • @bullza001rocka would probably be driven in the end by a bunch of roaches

  • @neumannj656

    I fckn hate roaches, but you are probably right.

  • 166 people work for ford

  • @sandiegofootballfan i love fords but i love toyota
