Thought I might as throw a bit more fuel on the fire. The following quote is from a bloke who was in the British SAS serving in Oman.
“Some owned Toyota Land Cruisers, which were far better at crossing the desert than our Land Rovers.”
'Fighting Scared' – Robin Horsfall ex SAS - Cassell 2002. Commenting on the local Omanis choice in vehicles for the desert.
On your first visit to the NT you get the impression the whole state is an advertisement for Toyota.
