They must not have had trouble starting them up either. What happened to chipped ignition switches and all the electronics? I am sure of one thing though. Next to Toyota pick ups, I am sure they will secretly admire big American trucks.
Hmm.. I don't think so if you are talking about the F150 & Silverado. Those Toyota Hiluxes are built like tanks and can take a huge pounding and abuse and still run.
IMO, the average F150, Silverado, and for that matter the NA version of Toyota's truck the Tundra, though having powerful engines and drive trains, are not up to taking the same sort of thing. They wouldn't last long at all in that environment.

That is not an F150, it's an F250 or F350. Most likely diesel and they're built likes tanks as well.

Don't think so (if you are talking post 1990 or so..., even earlier demise of the Tough Ford...))
Driven a tank lately?
If I'm being shot at by US planes and copters, at least give me a HiLux for my Anti-aircraft guns.
terrorist vehicle of choice for 20+ yrs.
I like the story about how the Canadian Flag on the HiLux is a symbol of 'tough', cuz the Jihadists happened to commandeer a shipment of them provided by Canadians and destined to Foreign Gov.
Tho I think Toyota should place laser targeting devices on Hilux.
The 3 absolutely necessary "lifestyle accessories" of the Arab Extremist are a beard, an AK47 and a Toyota Hilux. Forget any one and you just ain't a player.

It seems they'll drive whatever is readily available for them to steal. Nothing against the Hilux, they're great trucks, but I'll take the diesel Super Duty(even the 6.0L with the EGR sorted out) any day over the Toyota. Anyway, my whole point was they were driving an F250 not the lesser F150.

I'm thinking that high tech Super Duty isn't going to be happy in a warfare situation when the only fuel available is desert sludge that's been sitting in an old rusting barrel.

Bin Laden's right hand man used to prefer to roll out in a Suburban. What foreign versions of the Tundra are there? Or are you thinking of the Tacoma - the NA version of the Hilux? In the case of the latter, they seem to be doing well enough, seeing as special operations units have been using them since the invasion of Afghanistan.
