Overview
"An economical choice for your fast-attack needs. Easy to maintain and easy to use, we use locally produced vehicles and weapons. Standard installation includes a 12.7mm PKM machine gun."

- Merchant of Menace store description

The standard Mafia Techinical is a chop-shop variant of a pickup truck featured in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Produced by the Russian Mafia, the Technical is painted a gray black scheme, with the Mafia logo on each door.

This vehicle can be found driving around any area controlled by the Mafia, and it's very common at the bridge near the Kusong MASH.

The MG Technical is unlocked as soon as the Merchant of Menace is available to the player, after completing the contract 'Foothold'. It can be ordered for a minimum of $16,000 and a maximum of $22,400.

Tactics
Armed with a 12.7mm tripod-mounted machine gun, the standard Technical is effective against light vehicles, and all enemy personnel. The top speed is very good, and it is considered to be one of the fastest land-based vehicle in the game. The incredible speed, combined with its machine gun, make this vehicle a great choice for almost every mission, just be careful of tanks and gunships.

Real life
The Mafia Technical seems to be based on the 1980s Toyota Hilux.

Trivia

 * Despite the claim that the Technical is created from locally sourced vehicles, there is no civilian versions or pickup trucks of any kind in North Korea.
