The Toyota Hilux is basically the gold standard in budget backcountry warfighting trucks, so I wasn't surprised that the Taliban used one in the release of captive as seen in their . I did not expect the Islamic fundamentalists to be rocking such a flamboyant graphics package though.

Bright red on silver actually looks kinda sweet, but it's got to be the worst camouflage ever for the desert. Maybe this is a "special occasion" truck they only trot out when they want to be spotted by an American blackhawk helicopter.
