Hilux is among the few trucks and pickups that could perform in harsh terrain of Iran/Iraq border, mainly used by iranians and kurd rebels during the 8 year war!!!!

Last i know, it is still one of the official all-terrain vehicles of Iranian police and parts of military in deserts and mountains, so I can tell ya it works, its probably a cheaper version of landcruiser, they have been making this model for decades!!!

but these things differ by market so I'm not sure how the ones in America compare, they shouldn't be worse tho lol
