I remember the episode of Top Gear when they used those trucks. I thought the same thing. Those things are bad a$$.

I'll continue to be stupid and buy GM, but thanks.

If those numbers come up I think, Unimog.

Arnolds Old Sled will do..

Thumbs up

Have Ferman put his hands on that turbo-diesel in the MOG. All others run for cover. LOL!

I sat in a Tundra once, it seemed like all the other high end Japanese trucks. Land Cruiser comes to mind. Too much foo foo, I still don't get it, I will probably never own a JEEP either. Different strokes..

That series (on the Hilux) was what introduced me to Top Gear. I was immediately hooked. Too bad it's gone.

(BTW, I had a 2nd generation 4Runner for 17 years, sold it and bought a used Sequoia, and I also have a '69 Land Cruiser work-in-progress -- when I can find the time to work on it!)

TOP GEAR is still around, but will have a new host. The guys from TOP GEAR will be back next year with a show on AMAZON prime. And ole Arnie had a JEEP WAGONEER with a DURAMAX in it that was pretty sweet.

Charlie that's what I thought when I saw that truck......damm that we be fun to own.

Crazy story.....
We bought a used Toyota Tercel with 130,000 miles for $900. Karen drove it pass 200,000 miles in 3 years. I never changed the oil. It would burn a quart of oil a week so I added a quart of drain "used" oil on Sunday before the work week started. Change the oil filter once a year. Put tires on it and one rear wheel bearing while we had it. Finally got something better for Karen to drive. Then it sat behind the barn for three years until my mom went into assisted living. I had to get rid of it so I call a local junk yard. I jump into the car with yellow jacket flying everywhere. To my surprise if turned over. I pumped the accelerator a half dozen time and it fired up. Drag the rear tire across the yard because the brakes were frozen.

Nobody "was" a bigger fan of GM then me.
1967 SS 396 Chevelle
1967 327 Chevelle
1966 Fleetside short bed pickup 6/ 3 speed
1968 327 4 speed Camaro
1976 Stingray
1940 Chevy master deluxe couple 350/350
and on and on.....
Still have a 1965 GTO all original 102,000 miles
If GM built them like they use to I would still be driving one.

I know. Those three made the show. I may have to sign up to Amazon Prime.

The show is an acquired taste. Being a fan of old English iron, this was one of my favorite segments:
