In the early 2000s, the Toyota Hilux and pick-up variants of the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series were the vehicles of choice for terrorist groups in the Middle East. How these terrorist groups procure so many Toyota trucks is something that not even the supposedly all-knowing US can answer. The Taliban and its offshoot organizations ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda are on the sanctions list of many governments around the world, but that did not stop these rogue groups from procuring many relatively new

Up till a couple of years ago, it was perfectly fine for the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) to publish sales breakdown by model, but the newly-enforced Competition Act 2010 forbids MAA from doing so, claiming that it prevents cartel-like behaviour among car manufacturers. As such, some brands like Mercedes-Benz no longer share such data, while BMW only share on a quarterly basis. The list of best-selling models in Malaysia is no longer publicly available, at least not from MAA, but this

A heavily camouflaged Ford Ranger Raptor has been spotted in Thailand amidst testing. Despite the camouflage, telltale signs of a Ford Ranger Raptor are the wheels with all-season tyres, flared wheel arches, and other bits like the front scuff plates as well as side step. Last year, the 2021 Ford Ranger facelift was unveiled in Thailand alongside the Everest facelift. However, there was no Ranger Raptor facelift announced in the unveiling, which leads us to believe that this spyshot could be the

Malaysians are bound to welcome a slew of new pick-up trucks this year, and one of them is the 2021 Nissan Navara NP300 (D23) facelift that was spotted recently. The photo - shared to us by a WapCar.my reader - gives us a closer look at the updated pick-up truck. Looking at the chrome grille garnish and dual-tone wheels, this appears to be the VL 4WD variant. Another clue to that is the '4WD' decal on the rear quarter panel - a trait we noticed on the last spyshot. Also read: Spied: 2021 Nissan

Here we have a Ferrari 812 Superfast prowling the streets of London. At a traffic light junction, the driver appears to switch off his traction and stability control systems. In a car that has 789 PS. What could possibly go wrong? Said driver then proceeds to turn left, bury his throttle and enjoy the musical symphony of his 6.5-litre V12. All this while there are cyclists and pedestrians on both sides of the road. A moment later, the 812 snaps sideways and crashes into the guardrail, almost tak

For a very long time, the pick-up truck market has been dominated by the Toyota Hilux and it’s no wonder. As Top Gear once proved, the mighty Hilux is very much invincible. However, while the Hilux has been the default pick-up of choice (no doubt the same could be said about the updated facelift model), that doesn’t mean its competitors have backed down. Next year, there will be three new pick-up trucks to try and reduce the Hilux’s share in the market. Okay, it’s technically one brand-new truck
