There is no doubt that Islamic State (IS) is an organized, wealthy operation. In 2012, President Obama compared ISIS to Al Qaeda’s jayvee team, muddying the true extent and ability of the group. But since then, IS has killed vast numbers of people and maintained control of an Iraq-Syria caliphate for over a year. However, the terrorists have claimed more than land: they’ve adopted Toyota, the Japanese car brand, as their vehicle of choice.

Widespread videos posted online through IS-linked websites and social media accounts show caravans of Toyotas, many of which have been outfitted with artillery, and many of which appear to be brand new.
