Video Description

Our merch store is now LIVE: https://bit.ly/Carwow-Merchandise It’s time for an off-road head-to-head with two incredible Toyotas! We’ve got our hands on the Arctic Trucks Toyota Hilux AT37, and it’s going up against a super rare, one-of-one Hilux… It’s the Top Gear Polar Special Hilux - the same one that the original Top Gear team drove to the North Pole! The two are going head-to-head over a series of challenges on an off-road course to see which of the two is the best off-road! But how will they compare? Let’s take a closer look at the stats. The AT37 is based on the current-generation Hilux, so it comes with a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine that produces 204hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed auto, and it weighs 2,200kg. It comes with several modifications, including 37” all-terrain tyres, upgraded front & rear differentials, as well as an adjustable performance suspension system. All in, the car and the upgrades cost £78,000. Then we come to the Top Gear special edition Hilux. It’s based on the 2006 generation and is powered by a 3-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that produces 171hp and 360Nm. It has 4WD, ultra-low gearing, and 38” snow tyres. It also comes with pneumatic locking differentials and a couple of additional unique mods! The question is, will the newer Hilux propel itself to victory? Or could the older Hilux snatch the win? You’ll have to stick with Mat, Sam & Colin to find out!
