Toyota’s offerings are not only popular with the Taliban but also Al Qaeda and ISIS. If you’re wondering why these individuals can’t get enough of these Japanese vehicles, it has a lot to do with the need to traverse the extremely rough terrain found in the Middle East.

豐田的產品不只受神學士歡迎,也受到開打組織與伊斯蘭國歡迎。假如你想知道為什麼日本製車輛對那些組織而言如此百用不膩,這與穿越中東崎嶇地形的需求有關。

Additionally, they also understand that they need a vehicle that can be easily modified to accommodate weapons, shuttle soldiers, and be quick on its feet. Unfortunately, both the Hilux and the Land Cruiser check these boxes, which is why we see so many technicals with 50 caliber machine guns on the back.

此外,他們還明白,他們需要一輛能輕易改裝的車輛,好容納武器、穿梭士兵,並能快速反應。不幸的是,Hilux與Land Cruiser都符合這些需求,這也是為什麼我們會看見許多改裝車背後,搭載了50口徑的機槍。

Toyota would very much like to stop their vehicles from ending up in conflict zones. To prevent this, they’ve decided that they need to prohibit terror sympathizers from getting these vehicles to them in the first place.

豐田非常想讓他們的車不再出現於衝突地區中。為了防範此事發生,他們決定要從一開始就禁止同情恐怖份子者拿到車輛。
