    Toyotas have long been used in global conflicts, to great success:

    https://escshift.wordpress.com/2014/09/26/toyota-warfare/

    "The vehicular equivalent of the AK-47". I can like that:

    The rebel groups use them too:

    It's a testament to the reliability of Toyotas in general though some models are less reliable than others.

    I watch lots of nature shows. Almost every time the biologists and rangers in Africa or South America are getting around in some form of Toyota vehicle.

    Subaru should be the vehicle of choice for oil wars. Damn things can’t get enough of that slippery stuff.
