The Toyota Tacoma is basically the North American version of the Toyota Hilux. The Hilux has been credited for winning the Toyota War in 1987 where Chad insurgent groups repelled Soviet-surplus-supplied Lybian occupation. They were able to do this because of their fleet of 400 Toyota Hilux pickup trucks which were configured as technicals. This gave them agility and terrain advantages compared to the old Soviet tanks that the Lybians had.

Edit:

It's worth mentioning that this strategy worked in part because the French provided air support to the Chad insurgent groups, basically neutralizing the Lybian air force compared to Chad's non-existent air force. Once Chad completely repelled the Lybian forces, France withdrew their air support. Knowing that they were vulnerable, the Chad fleet of Hiluxes drove 50 miles into Lybian territory overnight to attack the Maaten al-Sarra Air Base, crippling their air force.
