Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May test pick-up trucks with a series of challenges built around the many stages of life in the developing world, starting with rural subsistence and running through the toppling of the dictator, the descent into civil war, and the bit where some idiot blows up a helicopter. Clarkson has a Volkswagen Amarok, Hammond has a Ford Ranger while May is in the new Mercedes X-class. Along the way there are chases and races and quite a lot of needless gunfire until the best pick-up is decided upon by everyone except James. Also,in this show, Jeremy is at the Eboladrome to test the snorting, swollen, near-600 horsepower Jaguar XE Project 8.
