For Sale: 1996 Toyota Hilux in Christiansburg, Virginia

99,270 kilometers Introduced in 1984, the first generation Toyota Hilux Surf was designed and built on the frame of the two door Hilux pickup truck by removing the rear wall and then mounting a canopy on the bed. This was the first step in transitioning to a more family friendly, multi-use vehicle and, with comfort and safety at the forefront, future generations were manufactured with a more sophisticated steel wagon body. The third generation, as represented here, brought with it a renewed chassis including a larger wheelbase and treads to further improve stability and ride comfort. The previously available two-door option was discontinued, and the Hilux Surf was sold exclusively as a four-door vehicle with a top-hinged tailgate. In Japan, the third generation model was offered with three different choices of engine: Options included the gasoline powered 3.4 Liter V6 and 2.7 Liter I4, or a diesel powered 3.0 Liter I4. All units were powered by a part-time 4-wheel drive and utilized either a 4-speed automatic transmission, or a 5-speed manual transmission, depending on the trim level. Production continued into the year 2009, where the Toyota Hilux Surfs 25 year run came to a close. Third party pre-purchase inspections are welcomed and encouraged. All vehicles sold by Duncan come with a clean U.S. title.
