Someone had a really interesting explanation recently, they said it's because after ww2 there were restrictions on Japan. Because of this, there were limited/no space engineering and rocket science careers. So what did all their brilliant minded engineers turn to since there was no further highest level like a NASA equivalent? You guessed it. Cars.

Then the reward is a supremely smooth ride with the legendary solid handling and sound isolation that you just can’t quite get in a Japanese car. There is just something about a European car.
wantafanta01 not sure about bikes, the things that need to be done isn’t insane on my E350...10k/annual oil changes, Brake fluid replacement every 20k, 45k for spark plugs, 77.5k for transmission. Of course you also have the engine air filter every 10k-20k. So it’s bit outside of the regular maintenance of modern Japanese cars but the service costs are about 30-40% more (using authorized dealers).
When a car manufacturer does such a good job at building a reliable car, that it has to explain to the goverment why so many old cars of it's make are used as mobile machinegun trucks You know you succeeded.
Had one of these trucks. Damn thing was literally unkillable. Dad sank it in the river trying to drive across the shallow spots to a sandbar and sank it in a hole, had to leave it there overnight. Took 3 trucks and some digging to pull it out. Cranked right up and drove it away. We still laugh about it today.
Or south africa i have one my brother in law have one hiluxes in sa is its a religion of never had one well if you are about 32 and never owned a hilux..people avoid you😂 cause you are weird😂
Ah, so this is why this car isn't sold in the US of A. Can't have this indestructible beast roaming the streets. It would put mechanics and the insurance companies out of business!!!
My friend had a 1990 Hilux. I drove it a few times and I can tell you it’s built like a tank. It survived a rollover accident 10 years ago and still going strong.
Friend of mine had a fendt tractor crashing into the hilux, topping it over, with the its tractor front wheels resting on the hilux 's doors. They flipped it back and drove it back to the farmhouse
And on that note, up until 3 years ago had massive amounts of winter fun with a 4A-GE engined Rear Wheel Drive Toyota. Then the timing belt snapped at the revlimiter... So I re-set the cams and crank at TDC and installed a new timing belt, and had fun ever since :V Freaking locusts!!

quasi history nerd here, Japanese tanks were mainly made against the Chinese who didn't have tanks at all... so they just said let's make the fastest lightest one we can. Besides mud on the Chinese mainland did prevent a lot of mobility
@@adilmohammed6897 there were a lot of reasons that Japanese tanks were so dinky, but a lack of serious anti-tank threats was a big one. Japan just wasn’t under a lot of pressure to make more heavily armored tanks. There was also the issue of all tanks would need to be delivered by ship to the battlefield, and the army and navy hated each other and were constantly competing for steel. The battlefields of the pacific theater were also just not very conducive to tank combat. It was largely amphibious assaults on beaches where fortifications are a better investment than armored vehicles.
they could design tanks, just they kept giving steel to the navy, then the cavalry and army wanted different things such as cavalry wanting fast tanks to keep up with trucks and army wanted thicker armor to help cover the infantry
So no one's gonna appreciate that the mechanic literally revived the truck from dead without spares?

When a car manufacturer does such a good job at building a reliable car, that it has to explain to the goverment why so many old cars of it's make are used as mobile machinegun trucks You know you succeeded.

Truly amazing what that truck was able to endure.

352,485 on mine, just had timing chain replaced 3k miles ago. My truck is ugly as shit but I love it
What Toyota are you guys driving? I am thinking of getting a Toyota Sequoia do you guys think are they any reliable?
Affan Khan buy volvo.
Not a Hilux, but mine is an 80's Landcruiser ute with a 12H-T. Definitely not a chick's grocery-getter.

Perhaps one of the greatest segments in television history. I wish i could watch this for the first time again.
every few months i come back and watch it, next best thing really
I just did
Had one of these trucks. Damn thing was literally unkillable. Dad sank it in the river trying to drive across the shallow spots to a sandbar and sank it in a hole, had to leave it there overnight. Took 3 trucks and some digging to pull it out. Cranked right up and drove it away. We still laugh about it today.

My brother has a 86 pickup that sadly blew up the 22r in it
My ex had an 81 with 500k miles 😂
My friend had a 1990 Hilux. I drove it a few times and I can tell you it’s built like a tank. It survived a rollover accident 10 years ago and still going strong.
Haha pickup it a Ute
Friend of mine had a fendt tractor crashing into the hilux, topping it over, with the its tractor front wheels resting on the hilux 's doors. They flipped it back and drove it back to the farmhouse

Nokia and Toyota are cousins
Legend say both of it were created from chuck norris skins
Glen Murtagh the question is do you realize that it was a joke.
Lost my Nokia 3210 outside for a year (through the winter, under the snow, rain etc)
Found it again, dried it for a few hrs, started right up :V
Those stick phones were bulletproof
And on that note, up until 3 years ago had massive amounts of winter fun with a 4A-GE engined Rear Wheel Drive Toyota.
Then the timing belt snapped at the revlimiter...
So I re-set the cams and crank at TDC and installed a new timing belt, and had fun ever since :V

Toyota has the highest quality standards in the world of any car manufacturer...now I believe it.
yah- it's true.. Japanese car makers in particular use the 'Kaizen' system to ensure their production quality is of a very high standard
@@jub8891 toyota more than others though. not every japanese car is reliable. also mercedes used to be like toyota before if not even more so. the first car to reach millions miles is a mercedes
Mercs up until 1995 were tanks I mean possibly the best cars in the world
BMW's were good until 1997. After that the electronics just made them fragile and were cheaply made.

This thing is more durable than most Japanese tanks.
quasi history nerd here, Japanese tanks were mainly made against the Chinese who didn't have tanks at all... so they just said let's make the fastest lightest one we can. Besides mud on the Chinese mainland did prevent a lot of mobility
@@adilmohammed6897 there were a lot of reasons that Japanese tanks were so dinky, but a lack of serious anti-tank threats was a big one. Japan just wasn’t under a lot of pressure to make more heavily armored tanks. There was also the issue of all tanks would need to be delivered by ship to the battlefield, and the army and navy hated each other and were constantly competing for steel. The battlefields of the pacific theater were also just not very conducive to tank combat. It was largely amphibious assaults on beaches where fortifications are a better investment than armored vehicles.
@@GusCraft460 oh didnt know that one, thankss
they could design tanks, just they kept giving steel to the navy, then the cavalry and army wanted different things such as cavalry wanting fast tanks to keep up with trucks and army wanted thicker armor to help cover the infantry
They did go up against tanks in an actual war and came out on top
What a masterpiece of engineering by japanese.
