How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: production chronology. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Compact/mid-size pickup, 9 generations since 1968, 17.7M cumulative sales by 2017. Gained lasting 'indestructible' reputation after surviving a 2003 Top Gear torture test (submersion, fire, wrecking ball, collapsing building, crane drop) while still running.
