The Canadian armorer has just announced its latest, the 300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser. The video is the real eye-opener, showing a finished version enduring the tortures of more than 780 laser-guided rounds in various calibers, six hand grenades placed on the roof, four more hand grenades placed under the body, two land mines, and 33 pounds of TNT blown up 6.5 feet away. Judging by the footage, we'd rather be a blast test dummy with Inkas than a crash test dummy with NHTSA.

Ford said low tire inflation pressure may lead to poor vehicle handling and a possible loss of vehicle control, which could increase the risk of a crash.
