Tough guys on a Toyota
I know Jeeps are great, and Hummers are great, and Chev's and Fords are super, and Land Rover do really well. But for me and most of the planet...Toyota builds the best.
I have had 2. An '82 shortbox 4x4 and a '90 4runner (both rusty) But no matter what I did to them... they start every morning.
BBC's Top Gear did a special on the Hilux. They tried several ways to kill on. Put in the ocean, lit it on fire, blew it up. Still started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tom3OUKDM9I and see for your self.
Okay, Toyota's rust..badly. I have rear quarter panels that you can break apart with your hand. But my running gear is tough, even in stock form.
Toyota = tough and I think ...best

Toyota Trucks

You're right..... aside form the unwanted acceleration they are pretty good. I have a 2008 and hate the piece of crap. The engine and transmission are great but its the small things that bug the hell out of me. It will probably do 200,000 miles but the small things that go wrong ( squeeks, rattles etc drive me crazy.
Same for any mfg really.

Toyotas and Mitsubishis are way tougher than the American vehicles. Except maybe the H1, but it's way too heavy to be a good off roader.
