Greets from Western Australia. I've got a green-coloured second gen like this, best thing I've ever purchased. I've never had an irritation with the back window and drop-down tray. Mind, the spare tyre is not sitting on the back, rather it sits under the back of the car, accessed by dropping it down with a chain. I can see how it would be an irritation having to move that tyre on yours each time. 😄

Very well documented ... But one thing I need to mend .. Its back door is automatically locked when the the screen is raised to close, you dont need it to lock it manually . Rest assured, its best machine I have ever seen ... Am loving it ... Agree 200% that it loses the drive leisure when raised 2 inches or more .

[@jimmyb269]

Mines lifted 2 inches but still drives good, have you removed anti roll bars ?

[@christopherramlal9040]

Very strong vehicle

[@christopherramlal9040]

I still have mine in 2024 and don't feel like selling at all.

[@jekopeveikoso5208]

I got one rebuilding it slowly just loving it I even slept on it at beach during camp one best ride

[@korrupt4]

wow! huge surf fan here, i would buy this from you in a heartbeat!

[@Dilomski]

Cool video! I have a 91' 4Runner and me and the wife sleep in it during summer trips. I am almost 6.1 and what I do is remove the back lower part of the seats. Its only 4 bolts and you gain a lot of extra lenght, thus making a comfortable bed.

[@MyRetroVans]

that's awesome!! thanks for sharing

[@jamescalalo]

really liked your videos, they are not very long but the contents are very straight on which makes viewers longing for more

[@Boot_Ma9net]

[@noname-eu7mi]

[@Marcusstratus]

Hope I get a chance to see it in Portland. Great review!

[@turdbomitch9007]

My gen three looks almost identical with black bodywork and chrome bumpers and grill, it is called the SURF SSR-X V SELECTION edition. I think it was styled to look like your gen 2 with the black and chrome. Do you know anything else about the ssr-x v selection edition? There is not much information on them here in NZ. Love your work!

[@joaquingomez1754]

Dig your videos brahda, keep bringing them.

[@MyRetroVans]

thanks so much! have an awesome prado coming up soon!!

[@attackllama]

Very cool! Nice job on the lift!

[@MyRetroVans]

Arigato!

[@CurtF94]

The cup holders are there so the ac cools your drinks

[@r50nation42]

This compares with the Nissan Terrano that’s the r50 pathfinder in the states The Terrano also comes with a qd32 and td27 Diesel engine option with timing gear……

[@MrStephen777]

Impressive, Does the height make you feel safer in urban traffic.

[@ROYALFLUSH-NZ]

Just to let you know, that the tailgate lock should automatically lock when you wind the back window up. well my 1994 3L Turbo Diesel Surf does anyway

[@nayabshah2210]

I have one too... the rear door lock, locks automatically as soon as you roll up the rear window. Yours may not be working...

[@gabrielmillien7439]

The third Gen is my fav.

[@AussieAndhraAbbayi]

Hey man, whats the paint code for this?

[@MyRetroVans]

COLOR: 29X / TRIM: YA11

[@cafesolo777]

Awesome truck! How tall are you bro?

[@susanhill8332]

Hi, we have a Hilux Surf 1993. We can't find out what the red button with japanese writing near it , near the auto gear stick, any ideas! Thanks

[@MyRetroVans]

Are you referring to the shift lock button??

[@Boot_Ma9net]

FYI my boot auto locks when rear windown is fully raised.

[@dawsonmarch8979]

The rear window should auto lock whenever the window raises, ur mechanism is probably damaged

[@atulboruah6182]

You are perfect blogger bro

[@dylanw1248]

Really want one, trying to find one in the US

[@guryshaw5757]

I’ve got a 1992 surf and it’s kinda old as but it’s kinda modified but it’s have difficulties on the highway especially little hill any ideas?? I was thinking putting more power on to it

[@learntotakejoke]

whats the fuel average? im looking to buy one with K1 Z diesel engine

[@endofdayzfitnessu.k2126]

Where did u get that read Toyota badge from

[@korrupt4]

where do you get the lift kit?

[@MyRetroVans]

Found it online! Hilux Surf lift kits are readily available! Remember if you go over 2 inches, you'll probably have to change the brake lines.

[@carlgoco4712]

More videos please

[@choijiwon7090]

Nice car

[@НектоИной-я8я]

Привет, какой у тебя размер колёс стоит?

[@thaton3guy100]

It seems like every vehicle you make a video on has window rainguards/ventguards, why are they so much more prominent in japan than the US?

[@MyRetroVans]

good observation! i believe it's because it rains a lot here and mostly outdoor parking.

[@abdirahamanabdulahi5318]

[@mattperry9505]

Three questions: 1) What is the fuel capacity in gallons? 2) What is the MILES PER GALLON? 3) What is the vehicles tow rating in POUNDS?

[@Beng177]

I have a hilux with the same engine and similar drive train, I get 10.5l/100km which is about 22 ish mpg and I believe the towing capacity is around 1500kg or 3300 lbs here in australia braked. My hilux holds 66 litres, that surf should be similar.

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

i'd lose the wheels, they look tacky and are too modern.

[@donaldlester1997]

Yellow and gold tint??? Bizarre

[@MyRetroVans]

Color film was popular in the 90's here!

[@EdwardSalatiel-mr5id]
