Every season of Top Gear USA has an episode devoted to trucks and number four is no different.  Tomorrow night’s episode is called Big Bad Trucks.  We’ll see Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood choose light duty trucks that can function as a daily driver, but still the tackle tough tasks that only a truck can handle.  Here’s a clip showing one of the challenges involving some innocent passengers and even the almighty Stig.

Which is the best new light-duty truck on the market? American truck makers are trying to muscle in on the SUV and car market by making their trucks ever more comfortable, luxurious, fuel-efficient and easy to drive.  But have they sacrificed their tough ‘truck-ness’ in the process?  Our hosts test their prowess in both car and truck duties on a journey to an airport where they’ll take over the vehicular duties of running the place as they wait for the arrival of a jet. – BBC Worldwide
