Two decades ago I would never have entertained the idea of owning a Japanese vehicle, however having gone to a friend’s rescue l ended up driving her Lexus, some few weeks later she decided she needed to sell the car and offered it to me for ridiculous money, the long and short of this story is l still own that vehicle after almost decade of driving, lve owned the best and driven even better but my love affair with my Lexi can’t be broken, obviously she is basically a Toyota under the bonnet, nearly 150, 000 miles, engine as dry as a nut no oil leaks, still driving on the timing chain fitted to the motor around 04 l kid you not, if l need a little extra power she delivers in an amazing time and is a joy to drive, my 2005 Lexus SC300 is without doubt the best car l have ever owned and l appreciate the Toyota designed drive train every day!

I love the fact Toyota still use the Invincible model tag and that Arctic Trucks do occasionally let the Top Gear Hilux out to play.
I imagine someone had a heart attack when the essentially priceless piece of TV heritage almost slid into the bank at 13: 01.
And for a 20 year old truck built specially for snow rather than mud, the TG Hilux does damn well for itself. Still remember watching that special and the volcano trip and being mind blown. Still easily a Top 3 special of either TG or GT.

Having owned a 2018 and 2024 hilux, i can say the 2024 was a pile of rubbish in comparison.
120k in the 2018 and all that failed was the fuel cap actuator.
The 2024 was never out the garage with dpf and ad blue issues.
Now have a 2024 dmax that's been brilliant touch wood.

I didn’t hear you mention the Invincible badge on the new Hilux is a nod to the red Hilux, that Top Gear tried to destroy numerous times. If I recall the invincible package started appearing on the Hilux after it came down with the toppled building on Top Gear

14: 16 I can imagine how James May in his head must have done his iconic 'CLLLLARRRKKSSSSOONNN' while writing that. Funny it's stayed in the console for so many years. Kudos to the team who managed the car for so many years!

I'm curious how the Hilux (global) would compare to the Tacoma (U. S. Why Toyota thinks they need two different trucks is beyond me. But the Taco we get here ranks below the Ranger and Colorado. (not by a lot, though.

Toyota's 2. 8 Turbo Diesel engine is such a sleeper. I've seen tuned ones with stock internals push 230 hp and 600 something nm.
These things boogey!

If they brought this to America and called it the Toyota Regime Change I think it would do serious numbers. Nobody makes small trucks in America anymore.

Thought that was Furze in the thumbnail. Brave to let the lunatic not quite an engineer near anything you don't want turned into something else.
