Our own special forces troops in North Africa also use Toyota trucks with machine guns mounted in the back, I believe.

In Afghanistan Toyota is definitely the 800 pound gorilla. They must have 80 percent of the market. I've never seen so many Land Cruisers in my life. Even our own forces use them.
