The urge to take an old truck or SUV on that “last hurrah” grows more and more the longer it decides to keep running. While we can’t speak for all nations and their respective car-owning population, here in the States, the average person doesn’t have much respect or love for the vehicle he or she drives, much less the knowledge required to keep a vehicle operable.

Unless it’s a collector car that has a potential for becoming profitable in the near future, people are more apt to simply beat on an older car until it dies its final death–grenaded engine, broken differential, or, in the case of this particular Yota, a combination of multiple injuries that have rendered it almost a complete and utter heap of scrap metal.

Found after a cursory search on the Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA) website, the pickup seen here suffered some strange accident that leaves a lot to the imagination. With hundreds of thousands of cars like this to curate and organize, IAA does not go to great lengths to find out who, what, where, when, or why these vehicles are in their current state, but that doesn’t stop us from using a little deductive reasoning to determine what exactly happened.

First off, it’s a 1987 Toyota N40 Series truck, operating on the bomb-proof 2.4-liter 22RE inline-four that found its way into millions of these vehicles from the mid- to late-80s. With its shoddy two-tone paint and BFG Mud King XTs, it’s not unreasonable to assume this was just some off-roading beater that met its end on a steep incline that proved to be too much, falling and flipping a considerable height.

In the midst of its tumble, it clearly ripped off the front fascia, busted up the frame and suspension, and bent or broke just about everything else. IAA can’t account for the key, so it’s unknown if the engine still works (not that the truck would still be able to operate though), so at this point it’s likely the pickup will be parted out once it has been won by the highest bidder.
