These things are full here in Africa and they were imported from Japan. Super reliable and super strong components on these that last long. That 1kzte engine is a sweetheart. Just wished they sold more of these in manual, or just do a manual swap which isn't that complicated.

[@James-qz5kp]

That engine runs so smoothly! Great review

[@bendaga]

Yeah it was a pretty good find. Thanks James

[@oldshumi]

Original steering wheel thank god! Thank you kind sir for this beauty. Many moons ago my father dreamed of this car, but eventually end up getting a G wagon

[@vincentjanse]

A hilux suv version is just a great concept to me.

[@kylehurlbrink]

Love the window rain guards! OEM sizing is great. Can’t seem to find aftermarket versions of the same size. Thanks for the walk around

[@bendaga]

No problem, thanks for watching.

Somewhere in Thailand
3rd gen 4Runner has a twin called Hilux Sports Rider basically an SUV that has pure Hilux DNA.
The Hilux surf diesels were discontinued before the 4th Gen 4Runner that has rare diesel in limited numbers

[@meialua1]

I'm in the process of ordering one. I have a 97 Toyota Crown from Japan. They are built so much better than vehicles here in the U.S. Another car i'll have to wait a bit longer (unless i get lucky) is a 98 Honda Accord SiR wagon, also coming from Japan.

[@gabrielmillien7439]

My favorite suv

[@WoodcockFamilyOverland]

They are awesome! You need to build one up for off-road like you said 👍

[@bendaga]

Maybe someday!

[@adithyajayawardane6191]

I got the same jeep bruh, but without sunroof but option. Im from sri Lanka 🇱🇰 . Good content 🔥

[@alfredritcher]

Cool

[@bendaga]

Thanks!

[@jdmsurfer]

I love mine, it's down in Nevada.

[@tylertwomey2034]

Comparison on the ‘96 turbo diesel v 4 cylinder petrol???

[@christopherscott5152]

Comes in manual you hit the jackpot😮

[@ArcYT]

The Hilux is one of the best trucks ever made

[@bendaga]

[@StephenwBennett]

I have a 4 runner 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf 4runner · SSR-X 1TZ-TE right hand drive. and need help finding parts in USA. Any ideas? thank you Also looking for a workshop manual. I called your number on website but no answer. thank you

[@mybugatti100]

What do you think of owning one of these as a daily drive in NA? Drive throughs aside, is there any problems that you think would come up?

[@bendaga]

If you are okay with less power output, I would imagine the driving experience would be very similar.

[@rustle17]

Any of these bad boys have cruise control for those long highway hauls?

[@bendaga]

I believe most of them do. Really depends on the trim level.

[@user-yj5cw1ti3b]

Please tell me what's the name of the area or village where you shoot this car? I really like this town and want to live there quiet and cozy life. This is my dream. Thank you!

[@bendaga]

I can't give any specific coordinates but just know it's in the pacific northwest! Cheers

[@mr98556]

I'm snatching one from my uncle

[@captainfish1764]

How much are these trucks selling for these days?

[@thumb9005]

14 grand

[@i_run_far1132]

I have a 1996 SSR-G KZN-185. Wouldn’t sell it for the world.

[@bendaga]

Great choice.

[@kossiscott1002]

Wow.. are you selling?

[@bendaga]

This car should be for sale on Elis Motors JDM. Info is linked in the description.

[@benjamincraig6224]

2:17 I hate to be that guy but your wrong. The SSR-X models come with a 2.7 Litre petrol engine. I own the exact same truck and in all honesty if you are to buy one of these go for the diesel model. Ive owned mine for about a year and there can be some issues with overheating while offroading. Unless you have money to afford a stainless steel snorkel and pod filter box it will get hot!

[@hankjones8814]

The badge says SSR-X

[@jasper-ft3ei]

ssr-x is a trim level, it does not dictate what motor the vehicle has. you're in new zealand mate, quite literally surrounded by surfs and you're still misinformed. either way bro get a new hairstyle and do your research.

[@TndPnyRCofficial]

This should have a custom license plate that says JDM 4RNR or JDM T4R

[@jasonmacmillan9869]

It’s a surf tho

[@robtv557]

Not the big body 💪🏾

[@bendaga]

Yessir

[@classic-4x4]

I regret selling my left-hand drive 5-speed 97 Surf with California title.
