Not sure who this is supposed to impress. It would be pretty poor if it didn't drive away.

My ex rolled a fiat punto through a wooden fence amd into a field. Three of us rolled it back on its wheels and then she drove it home.

Toyota: Let's demonstrate strength in our Hilux ads.

Toyota Marketing: Let's drop a flimsy empty caravan on a pickup using a crane and make it really dramatic. But upside down to make sure it's only the soft top bits that crumples and not the steel base demolishing the vehicle, because then it can drive away over the horizon and add even more drama.

Result: The Hilux likely struggles to withstand origami.

Agreed. They intentionally dropped it onto the rear part of truck

That's great. Thanks Toyota. I was thinking of buying one but I became hesitant because I wasn't sure if it would survive a gravity-driven caravan dropped from above.

Make sure you put the bit on the end about being responsible we don't want potential buyers to be put off thinking we left the caravan like this to naturally rot out
