I like how in the vid GAMMACRUSH posted the Fords wheels magically change to new larger ones.

Just watched it and it was a good episode. I liked the make shift 'sleeping quarters' on the back bed's of the utes.

Looks like "built Ford tough" wasn't quite tough enough!

Is that the episode that has the Yota following behind?

Yes, the Yota was following them. I suspect it cost significantly more than $3k and I don't think they beat it as hard as those trucks.

No.... Your right! A stock Toyota can't take any abuse!

Unfortunately, North America doesn't import the Toyota 4wd, 4-door, diesel pick-up (Probably the most popular pick-up truck model in the world, especially in third world countries).

I just watched 2 hours of U.S. Top Gear tonight which is the longest I ever have. Its a pretty awful show overall but it does have its moments here and there.

The Yota has nothing on American trucks Rod, everyone knows that!

Agreed. I was watching for a bit last night and basically they've taken the exact format of the UK version and taken out all the fun, humor, and reason to watch. The ONLY saving grace is that they did not hire Adam Corolla, as was first suggested. That would make the show completely unwatchable!

American top gear? Do you get the uk version as well? It wouldnt be the same with out the curly haired arse that is Jeremy Clarkson!

Yup, the UK version is available here as well.

Yes that is unfortunate. I would surely own one if they were easier to get a hold of here.
