A video of a gruelling off-road challenge captured the attention of social media users, as a Toyota Land Cruiser conquered a mud and hill-climbing competition.
The clip, shared by TikTok user @nyehlane25, gained massive views, likes, and comments from viewers who praised the car and the driver for his skill.
The video shows four double-cab bakkies from different car companies attempting to pass a mud pit and immediately climb a very high hill.
The first car to go in was an Amarok, which passed the mud but dug itself in while trying to accelerate up the hill, eventually rolling backwards. The other two brands that followed also struggled, even after trying to approach the hill from different angles.

The hill climbing challenge
The Ford Raptor was the last to try, and many thought it would make it as it got close to the tip of the hill. It, however, lost and rolled backwards.
When it was the Toyota Land Cruiser's turn, it positioned itself nicely, went on high speed, and climbed the hill straight to the top and over it with no hassle. A crowd of gatherers who had filled the place with their cars to watch and participate in the activities celebrated the victory.

"It's not about the car, here. It's about your driving skill, finish and klaar."
User @Momo shared:
"Speed was the key here."
User @Promotions commented:
"Guys, you can't compare these cars. The Land Cruiser was developed to be a military vehicle that can survive harsh conditions. But VW developed the Amarok to enter and compete in the global pickup truck market, providing a vehicle that combines rugged off-road capability with comfort and practicality for both work and life."
User @AURORA BEAUTY BAR added:
"But, I felt like the Raptor stood a chance."
User @Seluh.m shared:
"Driving skills are key here. There’s a video that I saw where someone was failing to reach the top of a mountain driving a 4x4 Land Cruiser."
User @Kevin mk🇿🇼🇿🇦 bragged:
"Toyota, lead the way. I’m in love with it ."
User @Mabheka warned:
"That hill is too narrow. That's dangerous."
