ImUrOBGYN Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Why rebels and insurgent groups (including the American military) the world over love the Toyota Hilux pickup as much as their AK-47s. http://www.newsweek.com/2010/10/14/why-rebel-groups-love-the-toyota-hilux.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamereric1 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Wasn't the Toyota Hilux one of those vehicles they tested and tried to destroy on top gear. It survived being on top of a building while it was demolished, being set on fire, being left out in the sea to be flooded, to be ran into everything, to have a camper dropped on it. Here is the top gear video. http://www.topgear.com/uk/tv-show/series-3/episode-5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVkedyQZfwQ I know during that season they revisit it a few times just because they were so amazed at how well the truck can survive anything.

Xyster101 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I loved my 1991 pickup. Bought it for $1500 with 176k miles and drove it for 4 years. Sold it with 206k miles for $1000. She was great! Too bad they are used for terrorist now. http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/IMG_2538.JPG http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/IMG_2539.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
