Top Gear: you cant kill a Toyota
http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=15438
Top Gear tries to destroy a Toyota This video is the absolute truth, I had a 85 SR5. I drove that thing off hills, drove it into walls, did burnouts in it (rather easy), and just mashed and bashed it. Always ran, every day Last edited by Jared at Pelican Parts; 01-28-2006 at 11:47 PM.. |

This is why I own Toyota pickups. I've had an '83, an '84, two '87s and two 2001s. I fourwheeled the '83, '84 and one of the '87s and they *never* broke.
Even one of my Jeep friends is now thinking of selling his highly modified Wrangler and getting an old Toyota. :>) Mike

Toyota is the only way to go in my book. I've owned many of them now. Here is a couple pics of my first Toyota. It is a '87 pickup with the 22R motor. Ran like a champ! These pics were taken when the truck had about 230000 miles on the clock. Check 'em out!

Took a '96 up a mountain in CO, amazing how capable they are stock. My wife has an '04, and it's been flawless. That video does us proud.
