Tonight’s all-new episode of Top Gear USA is entitled Alaskan Adventure. This is their second foray into America’s largest state, as they ventured there to decide America’s Toughest Truck for their first season finale. Fans will fondly recall Keith Richards, Walker Texas Ranger and the little Chevy that was blurple but ultimately the toughest mother trucker of them all.

Adam, Tanner and Rut face one of their biggest challenges yet: create the perfect convertible for Alaska. The guys construct home made vehicles tough enough to survive in America’s 49th state and road test them in a series of challenges as they drive from Anchorage to Homer. – BBC Worldwide
