That's true!

[sechsgang]

Yep, seen it many times before. But isn't that true: Can't get enough of what makes you happy?

To give luka some credit: he/she probably did not know that it was posted before. And I am sure that many more will see it now.

Does it really mean that OUR TACOMAS are undestructible? I am not going to try it, that's for sure ....

I love that video every time I see it! I love Top Gear's stuff too! They're funny as hell.

That truck was a diesel.....and one of the best toy trucks ever built (IMHO). I've always loved toyota quality, but these new trucks...... No way in hell they're anywhere close to the old toy trucks in durability. Like any business in the world....they all go through cost cutting & pinching/squeezing production/design areas to make more profits.

Already these newer trucks are showing weaknesses...... clutch problems, tailgates bending, tranmissions problems, suspension weaknesses, etc etc etc. Definately NOT a sign of *strength*.

Toyotas are built like tanks, for the most part...

I personally do not get tired of seein this... Its an amazing video that shows what Toyota can do.

I'd LOVE to see them do the exact same type of testing (for the most part) on the newer trucks PLUS the exact same tests on all the other similar pick-ups.

1) I doubt they'd want to buy a new truck (plus ford,chevy,dodge,etc) just to destroy them
2) I doubt any of the manufacturers would give them a truck to destroy

Toyota might give them another Hilux but they wouldn't give them a Tacoma.

our trucks are bad azz. they will run forever.

your correct, first time i saw it was a couple days ago at my cousin's place in MO.

i was snooping around on here and he told me to 'check this out' haha!

he drives a M45 and nismo quest (both have same motor as the 350z) likes his nismo's but he'd like a hilux for 'fun time' lol

Our trucks do have their weaknesses, but that doesn't mean that they couldn't handle a lot of damage. Our trucks just have a few problems that we would prefer to change, but how many of us have had a problem where the truck wouldn't run. Probably not many.
