A lot harder use age than dragging a RV on American roads.
And?
Decades old Land Rovers and Land Cruisers whose odometers have made several rounds are doing that everyday in Africa.
Not without multiple engine rebuilds and other major works...at least for the Land Rovers. They are well known to be simple to repair but you needed to repair often.
I suspect part of it is there are some who suggest American trucks can't hold up well in challenging 3rd world conditions but it's really more of a marketing thing. Most people in these countries go Toyota because it's the dominant brand so finding parts is easier...not that Toyota is any more durable.
