The remaining six truckers confront the most sparsely populated country on earth, where horses outnumber people. The drivers have to master navigation and negotiate treacherous roads on a journey that will test all of the skills they have learnt during their decades on the road.

In Mongolia the 'roads' are nothing more than dirt tracks improvised by local truckers. Without real paths and with a distinct lack of signs the correct route may appear to be a dead end. In this environment confidence, communication and teamwork are key. The truckers must master their GPS and interpret their written directions accurately, with the fastest team taking ten points.

The teams are driving Russian Zil 131 trucks, even though they are old gas-guzzlers. However, there is a reason these communist-era trucks are still very popular in Mongolia. They may be prone to breaking down, but they can be repaired easily on the road and are perfect for the demanding terrain.

During the challenge road gets too tough for Rodney and he threatens to quit, while Mike and Jason's navigational tactics take them to the brink of elimination. Who will make it to the final?
