1995 Toyota Hi-lux Surf SSR-X Limited review from Australia and New Zealand
"One of the best first cars I could ask for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems at all. Very minor leak in the power steering hose (that isn't really a big problem).
General comments?
This car is great. Nice looks and very comfortable to drive.
The car itself is very neat and tidy; it has had a Garret turbo fitted, a water intercooler, and a power chip. All of these give it so much more power that it has better pickup than the new Hilux 3.0 litre TD.
It is great for going on long trips as it is very comfortable. There is 6 feet worth of room when the seats are folded down, which makes it good for sleeping in, or just for storage.
This car is one of the best Toyota 4WD for its time, and as long as you find a good one, that has been in the country for a while and is clean, you shouldn't have any major problems.
