How doo!
Thought I would post up as I have been searching and reading info for the past 2 days on these motors before purchasing one yesterday!
After wanting a cheap, but good value truck, I eventually found the Hilux Surf and decided it was the one for me (and in my budget).
Will post pics up when i find my camera charger.
What can I say I am really impressed with it. it is the 2.4 TD model (would have preferred a 3.0 but never mind), and I read they can have head problems, but all seemed well, so fingers crossed! if I do
end up with problems then so be it, but hopefully worry free driving! (it is a 17 year old car almost after all)
it isnt very fast, but not really a problem (is the 3.0 much better?)
Ride is lovely, very comfy, very easy and smooth to drive! Feels like I have owned it 3 years not 1 day which is strange for a new vehicle!
It is the SSR-X model (what features does this have or not have over other models? would be interesting to know)
It has wider arches than normal, and some big fat wheels/tyres which I am happy with as it looks meaty!
Most things seem to work fine, other than the rear window going up, but will look at that tomorrow (i have read info on here how to sort it).
The brakes seem a bit crap, under breaking they feel like the discs have warped actually, so will get those replaced as soon as!
I plan to do an oil, filter and coolant change as well next week, but iv checked them all and all look good!
Pics to follow!
Cheers!
