Toyota Trucks Hilux Mk6 (1997)
The sixth-generation Hilux, produced at the peak of Toyota's "built to outlast" philosophy, is regarded by automotive observers as virtually indestructible. Top Gear attempted to destroy a 1988 Hilux through salt water flooding, fire, demolition, and a building collapse — it kept running.
