So they crashed it, sent it to the bottom of the ocean, dropped an RV on it, used an demolition ball against it, lit it on fire and it still lives!

If they REALLY wanted to end the truck's life all they had to do was to start the fire in the engine compartment and by bye truck. I will say after watching the show and seeing all the needless abuse the truck was put through and still ran, it made me want to go buy myself a Toyota truck. Does that make me bad?
