[β] HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) Can you explain why? I am from Germany ... we don't have that kind of pickup. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago You likely had it 20+ years ago, especially in the mountains. The Hilux pickup is fairly indestructible. Top Gear did an episode where they tried to kill one (linked below in other comments) and couldn't. It's rather impressive. I've seen the same exact model rolling around Africa and the Balkans today. ISIS fighters were known for using them as platforms for large-caliber guns. It's all about basic utility, stability, Toyota parts are easy to swap out, and adaptability to anything you feel like bolting on to it. permalink fedilink source parent
