- Join us as we traverse the enigma that is the largest city in North America.
Toyota World Runners vs. The Pan American Highway.
We're travelling in our custom Toyota Chinook, build in 100 days by TWR & Westcan Overland. The 1976 Toyota Chinook sits atop a 1996 FZJ80 Land Cruiser chassis, and powered by a Toyota 5VZ-fe. Find details about the build and our trip at www.toyotaworldrunners.com

"HONEY, WAKE UP.... Matt and Stacey have a new video up! Grab 'em popcorns and beer! 🍺🍿"
Hahaha yes!!!!! The perfect pairing for a TWR Thursday!
At risk of repeating myself again, you are showing parts of Mexico I never knew existed. The millions of people, I assumed, but for some reason I pictured endless slums and much less culture. While there is a true belief in American exceptionalism, it also creates a block against realizing the world outside of America for what it is. Thank you both for opening my eyes.
The yearning to build and create will hopefully never leave you. I will be 65 in a few months and tomorrow will find me pulling the fuel tank out of a 1989 Isuzu Trooper in an attempt to repair a leak. When you are dealing with a 30+ year old rig with limited supplies, most repairs involve creativity.
I continue to wish you the best in you travels and still get a little giddy every time I see one of your new travel adventure videos pop up. Vaya con Dios my friends.
By the way, it's becoming very obvious that Matt is doing much better with his Spanish studies than Stacy. How nice of you to allow him to be the interpreter.
Thank you for being a part of our journey as always. Our one day in Mexico City was truly a culture shock in and of itself. We witnessed the beauty, the chaos, the similarities and the wild differences to our world back home. We were left in awe not by nature for once, but the people and the city.
Matthew should really be doing the whole video in Spanish at this point 😂
The build is half the fun! 🎉🎉
Come on folks, give them a danm like 👍
Matthew, man, you missed an real opportunity with that last question about your next dream--I believe the right answer involved a ring, one knee, and something about spending the rest of your life with that beautiful woman. She looks at you with such pure love... that was literally what flashed through my mind when she read out the question... I was rooting for you! With apologies, of course, because you two should do you and who knows if marriage is part of it and that's none of my business, but I just adore how Stacey looks at you with such love and that was in fact my immediate thought when she read the question. As you said in one of your videos, hang on tight to someone who looks at you like that!
Thanks for the view 😃
Welcome to my small and humble town.
Mexico City blew me away, definitely interesting, and when i drank, there was nothing better than a great IPA greetings from Maple Ridge
Best series out right now!
Thank you!
You two just continue to open the worlds eyes to the wonderful country of Mexico - great work - we head to the cathedral because we know we are going to the brew pub later! Good job! As always - much love 💛
You know us well 🤍
Driving around Mexico city is alot like driving in St. John's, Newfoundland. Haha. Another great video. Beer looks great also. Very scenic views.
This has become my favorite channel. You're killing it.
Thank you for being here!

Mexico is Beautiful!
Great travel vid! I'm looking forward to the next, and the next, knowing that one day it will be over. ("He said with a sad smile smile")
I love your adventuresome outlook. (that's a word, right)
It’s a word now! Thank you so much for being here with us!
Nice, another video. Keep it up guys. We need more subscribers and viewers. You are doing great.
We sure do! Thanks for being here!
Congrats, excellent adventure in CDMX. Even when you are from México, speaks spanish, knows the "ways" to move on your City, it is always challenging to go there. I'm very happy for you guys.
I'm from Guadalajara and we do have many craft good beers. Hope you enjoyed them.
Awesome post. Thanks for sharing. Time of your lives!
Let's be honest you travel so far just to drink beer it's crazy 🤪
I have to desagree with you there, the best tacos are in Tijuana Mexico 😁, Stay safe glad you enjoyed beautiful Cuidad de Mexico
Sorry I e missed the releases
You guys ROCK!
Nhiceee
Wow Mexico City looks amazing. In a weird way it looks rather like London with the hustle and bustle and the mixed cultures.
Most definitely !
So so fun! Loved it❤
So awesome! Yall are awesome! look at that smile on his face when she says she also felt great about the build and missed building stuff. Priceless!🥲
Rock
That intro😂😂😂😂
Mexico
Whoa😂
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Y’all funny 😂😂
Hello from the sometimes sunny but lately rainy south Okanagan, thanks for the video. Honestly I'm torn as I watched this one, as it's fascinating on some levels, but that many humans in one spot might require me being heavily sedated. Family just got back from Japan and I had the same reaction to tales from Tokyo. :) Excellent volume and music choice again - kudos. Safe travels.
We’re happy to hear there’s rain! Telling those fires to stay away.
We originally planned on at least 2 days in the city, but after just one day we slept 12 hours I think. Thank you for watching!
Hi guys
My wife and I love your show.😊 it would be great if you could number your episodes so we can watch them in series
John
Check out our Playlists! There's a bunch and they're all in order. Thanks for watching!
I love the interesting content, great edits & stunning photography of your videos! ...and I envy you for your awesome truck ;-) . I do have one, hopefully useful, feedback: please align to a general sound level hence have the same or at least similar volume for video clips, music, voice overs etc. Currently I have to adjust the volume dozens of times over the course of half an hour. I wish you loads of exciting adventures. If you are into water activities feel free to contact me once you've reached the Yucatan Peninsula - I'm a freedive instructor based in Puerto Morelos [ p.s. we have a nice brewery here ;-p ]
Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate you being here!
❤😂❤
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome adventure with us. Really enjoyed it. One question, we're you both worried about leaving the Toyota unattended? I would've been a nervous wreck.
We made sure our Airbnb was in a locked gated community away from the craziness of the city. That being said, our nerves still ran a little high.

Heyy I’m GyaradosTheGr8, thanks for answering the stopping power question. I tried to find the video where you guys installed brakes, but couldn’t find it. What did you end up going with?
I wonder what route down South America you will take. I'm an American of half Mexican and half Peruvian descent, so I'm wondering if you're going to go through Peru. I haven't been to either 😑 Do Lima and Cuzco! Have fun guys, I'm always rooting for you!
We are going through Peru!
Hey y’all, if it’s not too much trouble, please bring me back some tortillas…
No trouble at all!
Tacos! Once your taste bud kiss the lenqua. You will never do back.
I dont see the link for the video about how you guys save money and budget for the trip. Could you point me to it? I would very much like to watch it!

eating crujitos chips with fork? lol.
Don't do the supercharger! keep the 5v-ze as simple as possible!
Get the supercharger - you'll appreciate the extra power. Make sure you go with the 7th injector and URD piggyback system
Im from gto Mexico. Try the tacos de perro. Mexico City has lot
So I have to ask the question again, why are they coming here by the thousands? Their country looks fine? I don’t get it? You guys really exposed this fact, TY I will tell everyone
We’re taking back our stolen territory… btw Mexicans are not immigrating anymore. That’s the venezuelas Nicaraguans and Cubans that are coming by the thousands because your country sanctioned them for refusing to kneel to your empire… now they’re super broke and want a better life…
@@Mexican01o101It was sold. They pushed communism and got sanctioned. Learn some history.
@@melovetorun well it’s not up to you to determine if communism is bad or not
So ask yourself the question again, why are so many italians/europeans in the US? came by the thousands? Their country looks fine? I don’t get it? You should go back to where you came from if you think other people cannot come by the thousands to the US, go tell everyone
The best tacos in the world are certainly in Mexico, but not exactly in Mexico city. Keep looking ...
Our hunt will continue!
Would you ever shave your head bald? The both of you together? 🫢
How much we talkin?
Like no hair at all. Smooth like a baby's butt. You ask us to ask you all questions. 😁 it will grow back. You are thinking about now.
Okay but how much money we talking 😉
Should be free. Y'all be doing it yourself. Plus, be great contact for youtube.😅🤣😂🤪
❤ great job! Keep safe , love the adventure. Following you guys on Instagram as well🤟👊
