Depending on how much your willing to spend, MIG Productions has a decent Toyota Hilux out, You can have either the Dushka version or the special forces version. They also have Three Land Cruiser kits out there. There was a review done on the MIG kit before. Link here.

Thanks. Not wanting to spend much on it. Just trying to find something to work as a local Iraqi pickup. I think this would work well.

Take a look at 1/32 snap-tite models. Some of the older ones by Monogram and Revell are great to use for civilian vehicles. They have a Toyota truck and a few others. If you are up for converting, Tamiya has a 1/32 Nissan extended cab in their monster 4-wheel drive series., It is just a body and you would have to make/convert the rest, but it looks pretty good. I did it with a Toyota Land cruiser from the same series.
I find the 1/32 vehicles to be close enough and work fine with 1/35 AFVs and figures. Check my showcase and selected link below to see some examples.
