On another note, Toyota’s Hilux is the vehicle of choice for terrorists, muj and Taliban from all over.

We call them “tacticals” and there is nothing like watching a Toyota Hilux tool across the plain with a .50 cal Dishka mounted in the bed trying to fire and hit targets.

They used to be called "technicals."

In the original Top Gear show they tried everything short of a crusher to stop a Hilux from running. It kept starting and driving. Props to Toyota, tough little truck.

Let me correct your statement...... Toyota’s Hilux is the vehicle of choice for the US government to purchase for terrorists in the Middle East.
