Toyota and the Taliban hostage bergdahl (OT)

[Red88TopangaCa]

Did anyone see the pickup that the Taliban used to hand over sgt. Bergdahl? They have a cool collection of classics over there! Just another testament to our makers. Going up against the US military

A case of Toyota oil filters, ND spark plugs, and 6 jugs of 'red' coolant were part of the deal.

So good!

Spark plugs? Most of those are diesel in those areas. Usually the L series. They are gutless wonders even with a turbo.

Sorry to say, that isn't a Toyota. It is a "Great Wall" Deer. We got one for our unit (Iraqi) while I was over there. It is a Chinese copy of a Toyota. Even the graphics are the same as ours was. -----Metalguy

Wow you are right! I found some pics on google. It looks like theY rip on Nissan too. What did you guys use it for in Iraq? I always thought the military on uses military issue vehicles.

 

[Metalguy]

We were a unit that was teaching the Iraqi Air Force our jobs. It was actually THEIR vehicle, as were a couple of UAZ's, a KIA "Bongo" van, a large Hyundai 22 passenger bus, and "Our" vehicles were a couple of Silverado pickups. The "Deer" is a remarkable copy of a Toyota, and is tough, but I doubt it is as durable as a real Toyota truck. ------Metalguy
