Three identical Hilux pickups with ARB bumpers! I almost crashed the ambulance just drooling over these! Headed east on I-80 to some lucky owner/s!
Looky what I spotted on the highway near Reno, NV!

Since I have no information at all, I'll just start a rumor:
I suspect the trucks were on their way to this place for some top-secret military testing:

It's funny you bring that up! I happen to be one of very few people who have been inside that complex and among even fewer who have been in the owner's house. Very cool place with very tight security!
I have seen the Navy Seals and special forces trainers around town in Fallon with machine guns mounted on various pickup trucks including Tundras.
Gun mount in the middle of the roll bar? vvvvvvvvvv

Wow I'm really curious about those Hilux's. Its strange enough to see one Hilux, but three identical Hilux's? Wonder what they're being used for? You should have followed him to his destination lol.

Unfortunately I was in the ambulance on duty. I'll keep an eye out for them around town. I have a few contacts on the Navy base that might know about some new toys if that's where they're going...

They're are quite a few running around Reno from time to time. A local fab shop has a contract for suspension systems for different military groups and they were tested frequently outside of Reno.
A very good friend of mine even had one stored in his garage for an extended period. That was until the government agency responsible for them called the guy in charge and asked him why one of their "Trucks was in a garage on a street where it wasn't supposed to be." That's how they found out they were equipped with GPS tracking devices. A logical answer was provided and the hilux remained there for about another month.
I spent a few hours oogling it, but promised I would not take any photographs. They were not affiliated with the link provided above. The last group were ExPo white.

Fair game when uncovered on the highway! Did the shop owner happen to mention if they were headed to Fallon?
