I saw that on TV...  They STILL keep the Toyota as part of the set.

That's an old episode of Top Gear.  I think it was Series 3 which was back in 2003.  There's a reason why those old HiLux's were/are popular.  Though I think a Nissan would have held up juet as well.

CLASSIC Top Gear! Those 'Yotas were built to last. Makes sense when you consider the World as a whole rely on them in harsh environments over Jeeps or Rovers.

The motto for the commercial of those were "don't use them; abuse them!".  They had the reputation to back that up...
