This new Hilux vid ain’t bad, though it’s not Toyota-produced. A little light on adventure content, but great visuals courtesy the BBC.

Jalopnik clause 100001 - Three-on-the-tree trumps Diesel, Wagon, and Miata.

This finally pushes it over the edge for me. Chris Harris is obviously somehow the recipient of significant genetic material from Tiff Needell.

Honestly, it’s a tossup between ‘facking’ and ‘fooking’ for me.

I like Andrew St-Pierre White as well, and some of the Aussies (Roothy and Graham Cahill), but the Expedition Overland guys got to be a little too introspective for me. Like you said though, very nice looking videos.

Hammer,

Which makes it even better because it’s not permanent.

Seriously, Torch? You never heard the old maxim...

When I was 10 I traded my 6yr-old sister all my nickels straight up for all her dimes because nickels were bigger and therefore had to be worth more, right?

So in 2020 these will be a pretty good buy for a family remote camping vehicle.

Holy shit. Somebody get this man a Legolas costume.

Think of all the poor children Jalops who may have never seen some of those in person...

They must be in the center of...

So true.

And I’ll bet they’ll still need to add some hydraulic bump stops (aka jounce shocks) to keep up with the shenanigans the public is going to unleash on these poor trucks...

These will be a great buy in 2020.

+1 on what everyone else said, but really Toyota likes playing it safe in the powertrain dept for their 4WDs. They are not highly-stressed engines and they don’t bother with different power levels in the same chassis unless there’s a completely different motor involved.

“...lame but courteous...”

Love that view, especially on a Periscope 400 pre-S without door mirrors or fender flares.

A little corny, but there’s a kernel of wisdom to what you say.
