landcruisers are the choice 4x4 vehicle in Australia being the remote areas they are used , you need a vehicle to last. Hiluxes are more common being a more affordable unit. When I was in afghanistan the main up-armoured( B6 and B7 class) suburban vehicles were the big fords and the landcruisers, usually 200 series .Ultimately, many groups ended up with all landcruisers. They had the power to still move the extra tons of armoour at decent speeds, modest width, didnt sink into sand like the bigger trucks, more economical, lasted longer.
