Vehicle Details Odometer Reading: 59,921 miles Mileage: Not verified Engine: 3.4L Toyota 5VZ-FE V6 Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD Fuel: Gasoline Chassis: VZN185 Right-hand drive The Toyota Hilux Surf is the Japanese-market version of the Toyota 4Runner, known for its body-on-frame construction, practical size, 4WD capability, and classic Toyota durability. This Surf is powered by the Toyota 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6, one of Toyota’s most proven gasoline truck engines from this era. It is known for strong low-end torque, smooth operation, simple maintenance, and long-term reliability when properly cared for. A major advantage of the 5VZ-FE is U.S. parts availability. This engine was also used in U.S.-market Toyota models such as the 4Runner, Tacoma, T100, and early Tundra, which makes maintenance and parts sourcing much easier compared to many other JDM imports. This Surf also has a raised stance, giving it a stronger off-road look and a more rugged presence. Condition The body and interior are in good overall condition, and the condition is clearly shown in the photos. The exterior presents well, the cabin looks clean for its age, and the vehicle has a strong overall appearance. There is rust visible on the underside, and the mileage is not verified. Because of that, this Surf is priced accordingly and offered at a very aggressive as-landed price. This is not being presented as a perfect collector-grade example. It is a solid opportunity for someone looking for a 5VZ-FE Hilux Surf with a good body, good interior, 4WD, and a low entry price. For a legally imported Toyota Hilux Surf with the 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6, 4WD, good visual condition, and a minimal as-landed price, this is a strong value at $14,550. Legal Import / Title This vehicle will be legally imported to the USA with all customs paperwork provided. A Clean North Carolina title will be included once processed. No hidden fees. No extra import commissions. The listed price is the as-landed price for the vehicle with proper documents. We also provide support and advice for future maintenance. If you need parts later, we can help source them directly from Japan and include them in our regular container shipments at no extra shipping cost.
