Isuzu TXD Yes. This picture seems to be Thailand location. (Edit: Myanmar location, not Thai.) With the same reason, I think, some Toyota owners prefer to use Lexus badges. -- Last edit: 2014-03-19 17:46:19 |

Agree. |

Edit: No. It has Thai license plates, but this is Myanmar location. Some Burmese background cars are visible in this episode (S21E06). Their Myanmar mission is continue in S21E07. (Edit: And Clarkson, May and Hammond are visit Thailand in the same episode, S21E07. ![]() -- Last edit: 2014-03-20 17:59:39 |

From Link to "capital.sec.or.th" (PDF) : Translate: In the year 1959 (พ.ศ. 2502), Isuzu TXD and TWD are well-known truck models (in Thailand). ![]() From Link to "www.ebay.com" ![]() This truck and some TXDs (in IMCDb) has two rear axles. Is it a TWD? (And are they TWD?) -- Last edit: 2014-05-13 17:23:43 |

newer than Jeremy's Isuzu, but in worse shape. |

According to Google Image Search, this shape (this truck) usually means a sugarcane truck (Thai: รถบรรทุกอ้อย). -- Last edit: 2014-06-21 18:06:12 |

Jeremy pointed out how the seat was like a "church pew". The strange open cab of the truck with the wooden bench seat and no doors is actually a factory option for this style of truck even though it's the same model of jeremys truck which has a normal cab. |

the actual wooden cab along with the "modifications" being mostly stock makes it one of the weirdest stock vehicles ever driven on the show![]() -- Last edit: 2023-12-12 08:09:56 |

The question is, why would anyone want an optional wooden bench resembling a church pew instead of normal seats? These trucks already had a harsh ride (unless you loaded it with a ton of bricks and a large tree stump), a hard wooden seating surface hardly sounds like it would help. |
