Toyota Hilux vs Caravan

To discover just how tough its all-new electric Hilux is, Toyota has staged an extreme test that celebrates one of the most famous vehicle stunts in TV history.

More than 20 years ago, Top Gear attempted – and failed – to destroy a Hilux, hitting it with a wrecking ball, submerging it in the sea and placing it on the roof of a 23-storey building that was then demolished. The feature also included dropping a weighty caravan onto the pick-up, a test that’s now been recreated to prove the latest model’s ruggedness.
