The Toyota EverTest project is completed. For three months – from April to June 2016 – this project united brave and strong-minded mountaineers who took the challenge of the world’s highest mountain, and legendary SUVs of the Land Cruiser family.

The Land Cruiser 200 and the Land Cruiser Prado have again proved their ability and durability, travelling a path of 15,250 kilometers in extreme road and altitude conditions, providing reliable support to the expedition during the climb and coming back to Moscow without a single failure.

All the members of the team climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain on the Earth, and collected exclusive materials to show the world’s greatest peak to as many people as possible.

Everybody wants to see Everest, but few dare climb it, and even fewer – get to the top. Legends are told and movies are made about Everest, but nobody has ever managed to show the real climb from its bottom to the top. It was an ambitious idea of Valdis Pelsh’s and RD Studio, a company producing documentaries, to do a real-time story about real people, the fearless conquerors of the world’s greatest mountain.

Thanks to the EverTest project during which all members of the team collected exclusive photo and video materials, all details of the Everest climb are now available to a wider audience along with the opportunity make a streetview “climb” to the top on Yandex Maps web portal.

Upon coming back to Moscow, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and the Land Cruiser Prado had a full technical diagnostics at an official Toyota dealership. Despite the most severe operating conditions at altitudes of up to 5,374 meters, the parameters of the various systems of both SUVs conform to the standards taking into account the covered mileage. There were no notes on the cars’ condition, and it only required replacing consumables.
