    Probably because civilian trucks aren’t as capable as military ones. Hence why none of the respectable militaries in the world go this route.

      Well yes, kind of the point of guerilla asymmetric warfare is that you’re not going to succeed using the same tactics as your enemy.

      The might of the US military still lost to a Vietnamese army using lots of civilian gear and struggled to manage a bunch of Toyota Hiluxs with light machine guns bolted on in Afghanistan.
