    On Toyota's response to the militarization of their pickups, Count Dankula did a video in the Toyota War and found a quote from someone high up in the company saying something to the effect of "We're happy so many people have found our vehicles useful for all their needs"

    Pickup trucks have many advantages:
    1. Easy to mount and dismount weapons.
    2. Easily replaceable when the vehicle is destroyed, just put the weapon on another one.
    3. Cheaper than other military vehicles.
    4. Carries people faster than any military vehicles.
    5. Not an easy airstrike target.

    There was an American plumbing business (I think it was plumbing) who sold a hilux to a second hand dealer on the basis that the dealer would remove their business decals from the vehicle before selling it.

    Japanese pickup trucks are most likely built (and also designed from the start) to work fine while grossly overloaded. And I mean by grossly overloaded. Hyundai Porter is what Toyota Hilux is for the Korean car manufacturer, and in practical use its maximum rated load of 1 metric ton is nothing but a suggestion. I won't be surprised if a Toyota technical could carry an another Toyota technical on its cargo hold and blast through the desert at 80 kph (50 mph). Yes, I do want to see "technical recovery technicals" in action because it will be glorious in a very cursed way.

I have no intention of praising these companies at the cost of other competitors. All pickup trucks currently on the market survived for a good reason, and being an affordable mule on wheels was the one for the Toyota Hilux, which happens to be a perfect trait for transporting a piece of "heavy equipment" with several "passengers" on a budget.

    I always wondered about those trucks. Because on the one hand it makes sense. But on another a well trained military shouldnt be bothered even with 1,000 of those trucks. Sure a outer perimeter will be lost, but over a thousand man perimeter so long as machine guns are placed in strong positions and you can pull out more to make new positions it shouldnt break a experienced military. So it is fascinating to hear about ways simple things can break different militaries but not as much with others.

    The reason why Technicals are so versatile is because of their single job. Capable of varrying heavier objects with them with no problems at all, so meaning they can easily outfit a single Technical with assortment of weapons ranging from Machine Guns to anti tank cannons and still manages to do its job.
    And whats better is that Technicals are easy to get and maintain, you dont need expensive equipment that causes thousands to millions of dollars to get a single peace of hardware like tanks. All you need is a Truck, Guns and ammo to do it.

    Man, Toyotas, especially older ones, are *indestructible*
    Like, I once had to fill my AC with coolant, and I was in the line behind a Land Cruiser from like 70s or 80s at best - not only that bastard did have an AC, it was *working*

    It's also part of the reason it's impossible to find a cheap toyota secondhand in Norway, as soon as the price is low enough it's bought up by some company and shipped straight to Africa

    Sooo, 1987 the same year of the "Toyota War" and when Games Workshop first released "Warhammer 40k". I'm starting to think that the Hilux/ Technical is the inspiration behind the Orks Mekboyz and WarTrukks?!
