Rock crawling is the art of smashing a car up the biggest set of boulders you can find until it either conquers them, or the diffs explode. Americans love it. The key to a successful rock crawler is normally a car with massive articulation, lots of torque and diff locks. Or, as you can see from the video above, a Hilux. As you well know, an old-shape Toyota Hilux is the most indestructible car in the world. No matter whether you decide to drown it, torch it, crash it, pummel it or simply drop it from outer space, with a turn of a key it"ll fire back up and chug along minding its own business. But aside from being the weapon of choice for apocalypse militias, the mighty pick-up also seems to be a furiously talented rock crawler.
