Advantages of Asymetrical Warfare… The cat is out of the bag… The functionality, durability and onmipresense of the tough toyotas is obvious. The Forces of Dictatorship cannot withstand a well motivated desert force if it is well equiped. When properly utilized these little trucks with four cylinder engines and four wheel drive can rapidly move on the open dessert. Consuming relatively little fuel in comparison to armored units the toyotas enjoy great operational advantages the heavier and less motivated mercenary forces of the dictator will use. Helicopters and tanks can be hit with russian rpgs and A-7 shoulder launched missles the motivation will conquer the technological advantages. In North America the popular option package, the SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed), was colloquially used as a model name for the truck, even though the option package was also used on other Toyota models like the Corolla. In 1984, the Trekker, the camper version of the Hilux, was renamed as the 4Runner in Australia and North America, and as the Hilux Surf in Japan. The 4Runner is now a full SUV, and the more recent models do not resemble the Tacoma. The item “Award Winner Built 1/35 Armed Toyota truck+Figure+Acc” is in sale since Thursday, June 16, 2016.
