        The dealer advised him not to remove it because it might ruin the paint, and he won the lawsuit

          The article doesn’t mention whether or not he won the lawsuit. Where did you get the info on him winning the case?

          Edit: I found the article - He won an undisclosed sum of money

          think you need to edit your comment mate, “almost as lazy” as an opener only works if I had called him lazy.

    Doesn’t matter to Toyota one bit.

    Their initial sale isn’t to the middle east or in any way driven by the middle eastern market and tends to be completely done on the merit of the vehicle.

    The trucks in the middle east are almost all second hand to the level some people were horrified and surprised when the vehicle they sold in the US, still bearing their logos and name, showed up in videos of insurgents and straight up terrorists in the Middle East.

      That does help the resale value though, which has a knock on effect to sales.

      There’s a lot of 70 series cruisers, which look older than they are because Toyota has been making them for thirty years straight at this point.
