U.S. Treasury officials have asked automaker Toyota for help in an inquiry into how ISIS has obtained so many of the company's pick-up trucks and SUVs seen in the group's propaganda videos, ABC News reported on October 6. Toyota had said that the company is cooperating with the inquiry, led by the Treasury Department's Terror Financing unit. ISIS has used Toyota Hilux pickup trucks and Toyota Land Cruisers in many of its videos.

“Regrettably, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have effectively become almost part of the ISIS brand,” said Mark Wallace, a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations who now works as the CEO of the Counter Extremism Project, a nonprofit working to fight and expose extremist financial networks.
