Video no longer available??

Judging by the comments above, maybe Toyota's PR team had the vid pulled?

Again, another reminder of how Australia is an after thought to the rest of the world...

First we're not good enough to host an F1 race anymore, now Youtube is boycotting us. Whats next!

xbeakerx...

maybe next time they will compete the yoda against other vehicles equiped with 4x4... or with 4x4 ON

additionally, everytime the tire lights up, the coeficient of friction becomes significantly less.... enough for even a group of humans to win against any car with spinning tires .... notice the Yoda never spin's its tires.... yet the domestics are all immediately spinning ... and none are with 4x4 on... hmm, i wonder why the Yoda wasn't spinning

Slight of hand trickery

can you prove that the tundra had 4x4 on? in the ram video the tundra spinned his tires first., so tell me why is this FAKE FAKE FAKE???
just because the tundra beat the three trucks means it was RIGGED... i dont think so.. how did it get the truck of the year by Motortrend??

MotorTrend.com "The new Toyota Tundra is now ready to take on any American-made pickup truck -- on all levels."
http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/...02_toty_winner


but i'm sure your going to say thats RIGGED and FAKE also...

Dude, you just referenced MotorTrend . . . While I'm kinda glad they picked the CTS for COTY, they're still laughable at best. (Yes, I do subscribe to their magazine)

The bump test actually had produced severe damage to the cab from the bed in the 'yoda.

Additionally, even if the said Tundra in the video's you posted was only in 2wd, once the opponent starts spinning their tires, even a group of men could pull it backwards. It's all about friction, and spinning tires have less.

Staged? definitely.
