One of the most legendary vehicles to ever come into existence, known for its incredible durability and ease of repair, is the 1986 Toyota Hilux. This famous pickup trick is infamous for its ability to shrug off nearly anything, which is probably best highlighted by an episode of “Top Gear” where the hosts tried everything in their power to destroy a rusted Hilux they found at a farm.
In addition, this particular Hilux also had around 186,000 miles, but that did not stop the truck from standing up to the tests of “Top Gear,” which included driving down stairs, slamming into buildings, letting the ocean tide completely submerge the vehicle, and even placing the Hilux at the top of a building that was demolished. After a few tiny repairs, the Hilux still ran.
What powers the 1986 Toyota Hilux is the beloved 2.4 liter four-cylinder RE engine, which offers incredible hauling capacity of upwards of a ton of additional weight — a surprising feat for a four-cylinder car. The RE engine is also easy to work on, so those out there looking for a nigh-invincible truck might do well to find a 1986 Toyota Hilux. There is a reason why the Hilux is widely considered to be one of the best pickup trucks ever made.
