Top Gear appearances

Killing a Hilux

You might recognise this Toyota Hilux with a Safety Devices roll cage - the Hilux is now a legend, permanently displayed on the back wall of BBC TV's Top Gear studio, on a plinth, as a museum piece, for all of time. Toyota claim their Hilux Pick-Up is virtually indestructible - the Top Gear team put that theory to the test.

The Hilux was subjected to increasingly destructive tests - it was dumped in the sea, crunched with a caravan and then a wrecking ball, set alight, and finally dropped from a tower block in Hackney, but the car just wouldn't die and was later driven in to the Top Gear studio.

The bespoke Safety Devices roll cage that was installed on the car survived everything the Hilux was subjected to. Safety Devices...only the best survive.
