You do realize, you rewrote my comment to say something the original didn't say...and then you criticized the result.
But honestly, not much difference in reliability. Toyota simply dominated the market before the US brands got in and then they couldn't break in...kind of like Toyota is a distant also ran in N. America mostly because the market is dominated by the Big 3 more than any actual quality issue (that and Toyota couldn't get it through their heads, Americans want a big V8 truck for the first 30yr they tried to enter the market.)
Of course, it's funny, that we had to stop for repairs twice with the Land Cruiser we had last February in Tanzania...so "unbreakable" doesn't really hold up (not that I'm suggesting they are bad vehicles)
Well there is no marketing in many parts of Africa and Toyota DID NOT get to Africa first. Africa was one huge Colony with British , French and other European ,and American Trucks. Toyota and the Japanese generally have taken over you can throw in the Koreans as well.
Maybe you could ask the Question Why Australia is the biggest Market for US Pickups with 1300- 1600 YTD sold outside NA
