How Tough are Toyotas?

Maybe you've seen these vids, maybe you haven't. If you watch Top Gear, then you already know. They're of a Toyota Hilux. Yes, I know the vids are old, and yes, I know this is the Camry forum, but I think these vids are a great testament to how tough Toyota's are...

I own an 89 Pickup(Hilux) as well as a Camry, but the truck's currently "out of order." I've posted more in this forum anyway, so I thought...eh, what the hell.

The trail part was cool, but 100 weaving in and out of traffic, and riding the shoulder?!?! He's almost as much of a dumbass as george w.

lol this totally ruined my image of those commercials where they show off road cars slamming into puddles and looking all bad ass.

Obviously off road cars are still more capable than the Camry, but I never knew my car could do that.

I'm seriously thinking about getting another one of these when I have the cash, and doing that one up. I wanna keep the one I have now all stock
