Skip the video to 33 min to see the result if you do not want to sit through the whole thing
I don't think the result is a surprise

Spot on with the result.
I wonder why they didn't test a Fortuner? Look. I wouldn't want to drive one either, but it is a notable exclusion

So, they tested a whole bunc h of vehicles in 2018.
Then in 2019, they took the top ones & tested them.
They declared the Raptor the winner.
Considering how long they chatted about the difficulty of plugging into a USB port, I can gauge what type of test it was.
Nonetheless, I agree that the Raptor is the best of that bunch...

They were obviously not looking for the best 4x4. Otherwise they would have included the real 4x4's which are all conspicuous by their absence.
