2011 was an interesting year for Trans-Africa trips... it was the first year that Toyota outnumbered Land Rover's as the vehicle choice for Trans-Africa adventures...
I have been keeping track of vehicle based Africa Overland travels via The Africa Overland Network since the website started in 2000. There were only 42 Toyota's and Land Rover's used for full Trans-Africa trips in 2011 of which 60% opted for Toyota.
See the blog post Africa Overland Vehicle Choice for the full statistics and my thoughts on why 2011 changed overland history.
Thoughts and comments welcome... I love our Land Rover, but would still live to have a 60- or 80-series Land Cruiser. I've loved the FJ62 since I was a kid.
