Hilux Toughness Challenge[edit]

Following the broadcast of the fifth episode of the 3rd series, the BBC was contacted by the Churchill Parish in Somerset in regards to the tree that featured in the segment where Clarkson was proving the sturdiness and reliability of the Toyota Hilux. Up until the episode had been broadcast, villagers had presumed that the damage had been done accidentally or by vandals, until they watched what had happened on the show. After the BBC was contacted, the director of Top Gear admitted guilt and the broadcaster paid compensation.[2]

I was talking Toyota trucks with someone the other day and was surprised to find out that he had never seen the Top Gear series where the British trio tried to kill a Toyota pickup. You know, the one where they let it get swallowed by the ocean and drop it from a building (technically, the building was imploding). It was one of the most ridiculous, yet brilliant, pieces of automotive television I had ever witnessed.

We landed on the subject after discussing my recently purchased 2008 Toyota Tacoma. While there was no argument that the resale value of the Toyota truck was impressive, we both agreed that the first-gen Toyota pickups from the late 1970s and early 1980s were the epitome of a simple, rugged and reliable truck. That conversation got me thinking how many others may have missed the attempted assassination of one classic Toyota truck. So, here for your viewing pleasure is the entire three-part series. Enjoy.
