The Toyota War (Arabic: حرب التويوتا, romanized: Ḥarb al-Tūyūtā, Harb-el-Touyouta, French: Guerre des Toyota), also known as the Great Toyota War, was the last phase of the Chadian–Libyan War which took place in 1987 in Northern Chad and on the Chad–Libya border. It takes its name from the Toyota pickup trucks, primarily the Toyota Hilux and the Toyota Land Cruiser, which were used to provide mobility for Chadian troops as they fought against the Libyans, and as technicals.
