Toyota must be enjoying the news that Reykjavik-based Arctic Trucks has now begun offering tours through the Icelandic landscape in Toyota Hilux vehicles for an extreme tourist experience similar to that of Clarkson's.

Reykjavik-based Arctic Trucks, the specialist company which engineered the Hilux to cope with the extreme conditions of the Top Gear challenge, is offering trips of between two and five days and longer expeditions through the wild landscape of Iceland. Its fleet of vehicles includes two Toyota Hilux Invincible Double Cabs equipped with special features to meet the demands of tackling the country`s tundra, glaciers, lava fields and mountains, including a set of giant 38-inch tyres that allow the vehicle to traverse deep snow and thin ice.

The Hilux Invincible Double Cabs come with 38-inch tires able to grind through deep snow and drive over iced surfaces.

Arctic Trucks is the engineering firm which specially tuned the Toyota Hilux that Clarkson used for his excursion to the magnetic North Pole.

The company began a partnership with Toyota Iceland back in 1990 to help convert models to handle the most rugged terrain in the country. The company has prepared vehicles for trips to both the South and North Poles.

More than 12 million Hilux have been sold globally since its 1972 debut, and in terms of annual sales it ranks as Europe`s most popular pick-up.
