Don't you wish your truck could just dig itself out when it got stuck in sand? Maybe it can.

The new Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road edition features crawl control. Crawl control isn't just for when you're doing a steep rock crawl. It can gauge with precision the amount of slip under each tire, and give exactly as much power to each wheel as needed to get out of almost any situation.

If you just buried yourself axle-deep in sand, you may not need a shovel to get out. Just flip into crawl control, and let the Tacoma…

Some trucks passively take in the scenery. Some trucks dominate. The Toyota Tundra TRD Pro definitely falls into the second category.

Driving on bald tires is hazardous, especially in the rain or other slippery conditions. But how significant is the difference between worn and fresh tread, and how do you know when it's time for new tires?

In the featured video, Toyota shows how a car, when braking from 60mph on a wet road, takes as many as 10 additional car lengths to stop when it has worn tread compared to fresh tread.

An old truck, half rust, unmaintained, and almost as old as you are... but it keeps driving.

The used truck is a symbol of durability, and Toyota in particular is lauded for high reliability into vehicular old age. Top Gear decided to test out Toyota's claims of reliability on one such old farm truck.

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson does everything he can think of to make this truck break down, like driving it down stairs, and sinking it into the ocean. Even more unfair to the truck, the mechanic trying to get it driving again…

Carl Edwards is NASCAR driver #19 for Joe Gibbs Racing. He went on a whirlwind adventure checking out the various Toyota sales and manufacturing offices around the country. Why not? He has raced his way to victory many times in his Toyota Camry.
