[@bendaga]

📌 Thanks for stopping by! There are parts of me that miss just reviewing and driving JDM imports. These Hilux's in a manual are fantastic as well.

I love that classic Toyota diesel startup sound. So satisfying to hear.

[@bendaga]

love when it spools up at low speeds in 2nd gear. the sound is just so satisfying

[@AlexMartinez-xv1gh]

I have a 2011 Isuzu D-max RHD, that I purchased here in PA. Definitely keep bringing the jdm vids coming i love them.

[@bendaga]

congrats!

[@JJfromPhilly67]

Right hand drive with manual transmission, as an Anglophile, I am in love. And then you took us for a spin! ❤❤❤

[@vincentperrault5900]

Good lord! Super durable and good looking cars like that from the 90's are the best! It has everything!

[@perilouspatrick]

my dad has a hdj81 landcruiser imported from japan. this surf really feels like home for me lol. 👍

[@bendaga]

the jdm landcruisers are amazing, one of my best friends has a prado. but I like the "inbetween size" of the surf

[@BADBADGER18]

Definitely a dream daily driver for me

[@kareemgalaroza822]

I sold my 2nd gen Hilux surf with a 2LTE 4x4 it's a very good and it has no a/c miss it.. I'm planning to buy a 3rd gen

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

I had an early 90's Surf while I was on Okinawa. It blew it's head gasket at 160000 KM... Right on schedule!

[@ethrs]

yeah the liftgate/bumper accessories are nice and all but man something about the body of these in there simple, square form always looked so damn clean. just needs some fog lights on that front bumper and id say its perfect

[@Mathewslenker224]

I would love to have this

[@bendaga]

me too

[@jdm_jd6850]

Man that is a pretty SUV, I want one like that lol Speaking of power, these diesel engines usually makes between 70 to 95HP but have quite some torque (Over 100lb-ft for sure) They have applications for SUVs, economic little cars and even "lightweight" trucks over here in Europe and Asia

[@VovanKapkan-wm3jb]

1kz-te it has about +-310N/m and 130 hp in pre-styling without an intercooler, with an intercooler, the engine has about 140-145 hp and almost 350 N/m. The 2000-2002 Hilux surf variant (2 facelifts) may have a 1kd-ftv engine that develops 170-180 hp and +-400 N/m.

[@frankblue177]

I love my SSRG but I'm digging the SSRV as well. I daily mine on and off road

[@KyleFajardo-u8y]

That is very interesting.🤔

[@dennyho93]

You and pacific coast auto published video about same car on same day 😮

[@bendaga]

👀

[@toyotacorollaaltis8613]

These are quite popular in Trinidad and I love mine so much

[@mikerinck8523]

Regarding the wheels. They look like a dead on match for a 1/10 scale Tamiya Pajero RC car. So maybe they are Mitsubishi Pajero wheels?

[@stefansofronov2421]

It's a 3 litre 4cyl with 125hp, i have the same engine in my '94 Hilux Surf Auto

[@dookiesaur7915]

The front bumper is also different on this model. has a bit of a lip to it

[@jeremyleblanc2923]

i feel like ive worked in that neighborhood lol. i work all over washington!

[@MrStephen777]

Got exact model in automatic though, Very harsh ride though. It is same chassis as the land cruiser. However simpler and in actual fact better steering. Those might be wheels of another vehicle like shogun, not toyota though.

[@zupra5638]

Niceee

[@Serjenga]

What’s that color called???

[@justinroby9069]

First car I drove that's rhd 😅

[@seriousgoat76]

Just needs a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and it will sound like a tank.

[@bendaga]

I can imagine!
