It's actually sad to know, you can build it, and people want it and then not sell it. I love this thing and it's so close to what people want. Put a manual in it, delete anything hybrid (let the prius offset the EPA numbers) and sell it for sub $50k. You literally won't be able to build them fast enough.
@@theresabilltheresaway3603 Yes, that's true. The Honda CR--Z was sport hybrid available with 6 manual transmission. At the time, the Honda IMA was mild hybrid system which allows the manual transmission to be used. Toyota uses a full hybrid system which could not allow a manual transmission to be added as factory option. Honda does not use IMA hybrid system anymore and they are using the full hybrid system now.
This is what Toyota needs to build. You can even make it 4 door. Thank you for remembering your roots and allowing this team to build this SEMA show truck.
this is Truly EPIC !! and i have owned a Hilux Surf 3rd gen for 5 years in the Uk and this is going to be a hot topic. i only hope this creates enough BUZZ !! to go to production. AMAZING Crew and everyone who made this happen and being creative. toyota is bringing the soul back to cars again
I have owned two 1st Gen 4Runners 22RE MT and they were my favorite vehicle ever owned due to it's utility, reliability, and coolness factor. The only problem was my last one got stolen and stripped clean. This thing was a theft magnet. After multiple theft incidents, I ended up getting a 3rd Gen MT. I love everything about my 3rd Gen, only thing missing is driving with the top off. This TRD Surf concept is amazing! I love the look of it! Toyota should do this no matter what! It would sell like hot cakes. But to be honest, what would stop me from buying it is the Turbo I4 or i-Force Max. Bring back the reliable 3.4L V6 or 2.7L I4 and I would buy it immediately. Heck, 4.7L V8 version even better! Manual transmission option, I would buy two! MPG is second to reliability and simplicity in my books.
As an extremely loyal Toyota customer I have always dreamed of something like this. I have always been jealous of jeeps and broncos purely for their removable tops and I’ve always wondered why Toyota didn’t do it as well. People would buy these in a heartbeat!
I had one of the 80s style Toyota 4Runners. It was one of the vehicles I've always enjoyed owning. Hopefully the concept will go into something that will be real down the road
I almost feel like if I was one of the top design engineer I would make Toyota sell thousands of cars a 2 Door GR Corolla both Coupes & Hatchbacks Rwd drivetrain, instead of AWD with a 400hp engine. 2 door GR Camrys Coupes limited production 600hp with a Manual Transmission only. I would bring back the FJ Cruiser, with off-road lifted suspension and wider tires for trails. I would also bring back the legendary Celica GT-S, making it an AWD 2 door sports coupe for world rally championship. Bring back the 2 Door 4 Runners Manual Transmission folding Front seats, to get in and out of the back. Along with the Tacoma sharing the same platform.
Please build this or, preferably. the ROX Land Cruiser! There will be a lot of disappointed people and missed sales if you don’t! There is a good business case for this type of vehicle!
Well...I'd be glad to get me one of these except my 3rd Gen '98 with 270k miles is still holding together-even in the rustbelt...! And, I suppose having enough scratch for something new. However, this is decidedly (IMHO) the most exciting thing I've ever seen since my big brother bought an '83.5 4-cyl. back in 1984 with the removable top.
I've purchased new and driven Toyota trucks since 1989 and currently have a 04 SR5 4WD 4Runner and a 18 TRD off road premium 4Runner in our garage, and 100% agree with you.
Thanks Toyota for sharing this build with us. This 4Runner Surf is going to be a hit. I hope you mass market it in the US.
I would buy one today, if it were available - and I just bought a 2024 4Runner TRD ORP back in July. I'd have both, if I could.
Ok Toyota, let's BUILD THIS!!!!!
Please offer with 6 speed manual transmission as option.

right👏🏾👏🏾

As someone who owned an 87 4runner this video got me stoked! Love when Toyota pays homage to it's past models. Please bring this rig into reality!
BUILD THIS, PLEASE. Seriously, a 2-door drop top SUV with Toyota capability is an instant buy.
My dearest Toyota, Please, we are begging of you.. Bring back the FJ Cruiser.. Thank you
And the stout. Use the same platform, keep it CHEAP
I just got an FJ lol. At least there are used ones.
I mean the lc with the round headlights should of been the fj.
Preferably a Naturally Aspirated V6, and not a Turbo 4 cylinder.. 😏
they’re actually gonna unveil the new & redesigned fj cruiser this month
That looks SICK
😊
a 2 door 4Runner with a manual would be amazing, please Toyota !!!
Americans have killed the 2 door / manual transmission market not going to happen
2 Door 4 Runner ....yes pls!!
If Toyota dares to mass produce it, it will be the car of the century. Amazing!!!... Come on Toyota, you can do it, we need it and we want it.
Looks amazing! Love love love this Surf!!
We're so happy to hear that! 😎
This is so AWESOME. This is why I love Toyota ❤️ 😍
Toyota, if you build a consumer version and sell them, we'll buy it. Promise.
We want this Toyota
I need this to drive to work.
Seeing this makes me think I need a 6th 4Runner! This is 🔥
Please Toyota, make this and the FJ concept into production!
This is absolutely fantastic!! My first vehicle at 16 years old was a 1986 4Runner 5 speed manual 4x4
It sounds like there are plenty of amazing memories there!
Do it, Toyota!!!
Finally a open air toyota! 🎉❤
Please make it!
And now I want to move to the coast and take up surfing…. cool build guys!
This is your sign! 👀 Thank you for the love! ❤️
Toyota keeps knocking it out of the park. Love everything about this.
This looks awesome!
😊
Absolutely love it!
It's hard not to! 😍
I’d buy this. Iv been waiting patiently for something sick like this!
Looks really good I would buy one if it came out like that from factory
this is Truly EPIC !! and i have owned a Hilux Surf 3rd gen for 5 years in the Uk and this is going to be a hot topic. i only hope this creates enough BUZZ !! to go to production. AMAZING Crew and everyone who made this happen and being creative. toyota is bringing the soul back to cars again
Shut up and take my money…
Toyota, stop showing cool stuff unless you’re actually gonna put it into production! Otherwise you’re just disappointing us
Wow.Beautiful creation . Great Job toyotausa
The "Turbo" stamped out of the door panel is such a great homage to the Hilux Surf!
Toyota, please, please, please, please, make this a real 4Runner. This is exactly what we want.
I hope some of these cars make it to production.
This is so dope
We're glad you like it!
Cool! Glad to see a lot of the conversion done old school! 👍🏽🤠
Come on Toyota. You see how well the bronco did. Just do it. You know your fanbase deserves it
i would easily buy one
What's your favorite part? 😍 🏄
I own a 5th gen I bought new...was hopeful for an awesome 6th gen....this would have been it.
this is really cool to see - i had an 1988 4runner back in highschool - miss it everyday
Sounds like you had an amazing experience with your 4Runner! We know the memories you've made with it will last a lifetime ❤️
I will buy this in a heartbeat if it comes to production. Love the concept!

I’d buy this in a HEART beat oh my god.
Very Nice👌🏻🚙!

Very good suv😊
A real stunner 🤩
Thank you for doing this! I have been wanting this to become a reality for decades, if it makes it to production I will have one!
Let’s make this happen Toyota!!
I hope this gets put into production I would definitely buy one
I had one of the 80s style Toyota 4Runners. It was one of the vehicles I've always enjoyed owning. Hopefully the concept will go into something that will be real down the road
We're glad you enjoyed it so much! We bet some wonderful memories were made!
Watch out jeep watch out bronco! Here comes toyota!
This looks NIIIIIIIICE! I think it's time to buy a new car. lol
The original name of 4runner outside USA is "Toyota HILUX SURF" (Japan and the rest of the world) This would be great variant! 4runner TRD Surf!
Sounds like you've got great taste! 😎
Please build this!! Sincerely every Toyota 4Runner owner!
I would seriously go buy one of these, please build it
I want this!!
PLEASE!!! Im literally crying right now!! Make this!! Pleeweaaaaaaaassssee!! I will beg! Just make it!!
TOYOTA PLEASE! Make this vehicle a reality and sell it in USA! I will trade in my jeep for this. Take my money !!
Making me into a Toyota fan!
We had Toyota 4 runner exact same model was in 1989, I’ll definitely get one!!
We need this truck! When can I preorder 😊
I had a light blue gen 1 4Runner. Never removed the top - but dang I loved that truck.
Musa artwork 🔥
Bring the FJ concept back after the landcruiser, and bring the FJ. That would be great to bring this cut away 4 runner for future
Reminds me of my 87 with 4 cylinder and stick shift. Roof off and rail are same
PLEASE! I need one of these!
Please make this!
Masterpiece!
Already have a 86 would be nice to add a 2026
Sign me up!
It’s time for a new FJ or two door 4Runner!
Excellent build! Put in the 5th generation V6, and it is then perfect.
Please make this happen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow! Toyota brought back the K5 Blazer before Chevy did....
They doing everything except sending us the 300 series
Manual transmission PLEASE!!
Too bad it'll never exist😢
Ain’t that the truth!
nice build!!!!!
It totally is! 💯
Please build this or, preferably. the ROX Land Cruiser! There will be a lot of disappointed people and missed sales if you don’t! There is a good business case for this type of vehicle!
Heres my money, take it!!!
I'd pre-order today if I could. Beautiful design and build. Toyota would convert a ton of Jeep and Bronco owners... coming from a 4x Jeep guy.
I wish i never sold my 1984 4 Runner! Miss that thing... it was beyond badass!!!!
And yea, can you send me one....
Damn 4 runners
should have moulded a step/ foot hold into the rear door panels so you could climb in and out of the rear as the front door is too small.
TOYOTA PLEASE PRODUCE THIS!!!!
Super
FJ 3 ???!!
SOLD!😍
Is the SFR coming to the US?
Wow that’s a nice build. I’m hoping the bump stop won’t be the same as the one on the new gen tacomas.
Yessssss!
😎

That would look so perfect parked next to my 88 4Runner. 379,000 miles btw
Does it have a tailgate?
The 4 cylinder is being laughed at here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
GM’s I6 3.0 diesel rules the Rocky Mountains.
I've purchased new and driven Toyota trucks since 1989 and currently have a 04 SR5 4WD 4Runner and a 18 TRD off road premium 4Runner in our garage, and 100% agree with you.
VERY NICE 🤔👍 TOYOTA
would it not have been easier if you did this on a tacoma?
I still love the old Hilux Surf
Any possibility thry would sell this? It would do well in usa
Can you guys make a smaller pick up, please!
Greetings from TX 🇨🇱🇺🇸🤍
Howdy! 👋
@toyotausa 🤍🇺🇲🤍
Please Toyota release the 4runner like this!!! I’ll order one!
