Toyota Hilux trucks soar in popularity as status symbol in Pakistan
Cruising through the traffic in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, the Toyota Hilux has become a symbol of power, affluence and intimidation.
In a society marked by gaping class divisions, the truck is increasingly seen as a necessity by politicians and urban elites.
Known locally as the 'Dala', the imposing vehicle has also become notorious in activist circles for its use in the "abduction" of dissenters.
