Anybody know what kind of truck that is in the background?

Here's the link to the article:

I think they run alot of Toyota crewcabs in foriegn countries.

yeah, if you watch the news they drive around in a bunch of compact crew cab / mini-bed pickups. All toyota's, mazda's, and whatever other foreign company makes pickups. I'd like to see some of our guys running them down in the good old american humvee. That monster would just loom over there little pickups.

Kind of looks like a Toyota Hi-Lux. We get those to use when we deploy to the desert. Might be some kind of Nissan too. I've seen a few of them over there too.

Looks like an old Mitsubishi to me. But not sure.

Well there's where the lil' bastard's money is going to go.

LOL. He is such a coward. I hope we capture him and make him live, forever!!! HAHA we should freeze him!!! That way everyone can go and give him the birdie. Then we can bring him back to life in some odd years and show him how peacefull the world is!

I'm thinking more or less use him as an example. The whole "No Cruel or Unusual Punishments" doesn't apply to him because he would be a POW (if I recall correctly), if not I'm sure the gov't would make an exception since this is a special case. Take him around the US and let every american slap him once or kick him in the balls if one of your family members died because of him. Give him a real reason to hate the US, at least then he would be justified for hating us.

Yea that no cruel and unusual punishment shouldn't apply to him, but this the USA. Either they need to just kill him or if the capture him they shouldn't let anyone know, just let the marines over there have a go at him, I'm sure they could come up with something good.

it's a hi-lux or a patrol. looks funny with "PICK UP" written accross it

It could be an Isuzu they were the first to build little crew cabs, overseas. I've seen them somewhere with the "Pickup" on the side

I think it's a safe bet it's not American made.

General Lee 01 · December 15, 2001

It's also a good bet that it's in-tow of a donkey.

Not questioning the accuracy of the picture because I saw it on the news too, but does anyone else find it strange that it is a Japanese built vehicle in Afghanistan yet it has "Pick-Up" written on it in English????
