I have to say that my '97 F-350 and the '04 F-350 that I had have both done their fair share of grunt work. I've overloaded them and done things with them that I never thought the manufacturer actually envisioned...I believe I have now been proven wrong, they did envision some pretty gnarly stuff.

The UKs Top Gear programme tried all sorts of ways to destroy a Toyota Hilux pick-up, including parking it on the roof of a tall building & demolishing the building (near the start of pt. 2). These trucks seem almost indestructible. You can see the video part 1 & part 2.
