There are many types of trucks on the planet today. Most go on the road, some go off the road, some do both. And there are many brands that make those types of trucks. For the latest pile of crap that is the type of truck that Honda likes to make, to Ford's latest racing Raptor, you have many choices when it comes to buying your workhorse. However, there is one four-wheeled, rugged beast, that rises above the rest. And it comes from a brand that you might not expect. That's right, its a Toyota. Some say that it is just a truck like any other. We say it is the best truck in the world. It also serves as Toyota's apology for their wimpy hunk of junk called the Toyota Prius. Apology more than accepted.
Unlike other companies such as Honda, Toyota's truck, the Hilux, has an amazing history of success. This success started way back with the first model of the truck all the way back in 1968, fifty years ago, in a truck market mostly dominated by the big American brands that were, and still are, Chevy and Ford. It also was illegal in America for a while because of the parts used to make it. It was deemed too powerful and unsafe for the US market. But that didn't stop pieces for the trucks being sent over the border into the United States and build built HERE. But it is still badass and tough as ever, and, as Top Gear UK and Top Gear USA both proved, completely INDESTRUCTIBLE!
