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.
No Toyota's are unbreakable in these sort of conditions. Reason why the parts are avaiable in Africa, because of that reliability
US and European vehicles do not share that reliabilty. Other Japanese vehicles have similar very good reliability, that is why you see Japanese vehicles primarily roaming around Africa .
It is very very common.
