Toyota Hilux: the middle-east terrorist's truck of choice.

But seriously, those things are everywhere in the Middle East and Africa.

I guess you need a cheap, reliable, relatively high performance truck with good off-road capabilities with a large bed to mount weaponry on.

What else would they use?

Half your fleet experiencing engine failure around 110,000 miles really puts a wrinkle in the jihad so I guess that rules out Chevrolet.
