Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this 1995 Toyota Hilux Surf 4x4. Toyota's formidable stable of early 90's SUVs were known for their prolific durability and ruggedness. It doesn't matter what the task is, the bulletproof turbo-diesel paired with a selectable 4WD system can handle it. None of these are hollow claims made by Toyota either, these tried and true workhorses are known the world over for their indestructibility. Just look at the value these have held stateside, let alone with the proper powerplant we were never privy to; until now. Our Dark Blue exemplifies why people still rave about these today. Its size is great, comfortable for 4 adults yet compact enough to parallel park downtown. The body has been kept up with well,
The interior, while spartan in its design, is driver-focused and utilitarian. The factory seats are not only comfortable but also provide plenty of support for day-to-day use. The fitted Personal Nardi Steering Wheel is there to class things up a bit. The light gray carpeting does have some staining since these were purpose-built after all, but it has been spared of any rips or tears. All the controls are readily at hand, and all the gauges and switchgear work properly. While simple in design Toyota didn't leave you high and dry on amenities; cup holders, power locks, 5 power windows, power mirrors, and even the A/C all work as they should.
The North American market never received the legendary 1KZ-TE 3.0L diesel version on the Hilux Surf. While that was a real downside to the US models, this power train option can finally be yours without having to deal with all the headaches associated with a swap. Known for its extreme durability and low cost of ownership, it is paired with selectable 4WD and a convenient automatic transmission. While there was a manual option most of us are simply looking for something to hop in and enjoy, not necessarily conquer the Amazon. With only 146K miles (236KM) you know this hearty diesel has only just started to get warmed up. It quickly turns over and the idle is as smooth as a huge four-cylinder can be. Surprisingly the diesel clatter isn't as invasive in the cabin as most traditional ones are. Acceleration is brisk throughout the mid-range, and shifts are smooth though with little urgency. The automatics do have a power holding function to keep you in the powerband longer which is nice when you need to get around in traffic. The suspension does great at sorting out all the bumps, and the steering is really quite light and easy to articulate. The brakes also feel strong, and the midsize SUV comes to a stop without issue. One capable and reliable SUV all wrapped in a timeless design. Its over-engineered diesel drivetrain, sterling reputation for a low cost of ownership, and curb appeal make it a hit as a daily driver or the proper JDM off-road legend we all know and love.

About Toyota
Toyota, a name that has become synonymous with reliability and sensibility in the world of automobiles. Let's take a leisurely stroll through the history of this remarkable Japanese marque.Our story begins in the late 1930s when a modest textile machinery company, Toyota Industries, decided to dip its toes into the world of automobiles. It was a humble beginning, but little did they know that they were about to embark on a journey that would change the automotive landscape forever.
Fast forward to 1957, and we have the introduction of the Toyota Crown, a car that signaled Toyota's ambitions to compete on the global stage. It was sensible, well-built, and it set the tone for what Toyota would become known for - reliability.
But if we're talking about Toyota's foray into the world of high-performance sports cars, we can't ignore the Toyota 2000GT. Introduced in 1967, it was a thing of beauty. Sleek, low-slung, and powered by a silky-smooth inline-six engine. It was Japan's answer to the European sports car establishment, and it put Toyota on the map as a builder of more than just sensible family cars.
Then came the Toyota Celica in the 1970s, a sporty compact coupe that captured the hearts of many. It was affordable, fun to drive, and it helped establish Toyota's reputation for building cars that were both practical and enjoyable.
But if we're talking about Japanese sports cars that made a statement, the Toyota Supra deserves a special mention. First introduced in 1978, it became a legend in its own right. With its powerful inline-six engines and rear-wheel drive, it was a force to be reckoned with on both the street and the track. The Supra is a car that enthusiasts still drool over, even today.
And then, there's the Land Cruiser. It's not just an off-roader; it's an off-roader that can do anything a Land Rover used to do, only better. Introduced in the 1950s, it quickly gained a reputation for being virtually indestructible. Whether it's crossing deserts, jungles, or frozen tundras, the Land Cruiser can handle it with ease.
But perhaps Toyota's most significant achievement is its commitment to reliability and sensibility. They didn't just build cars; they built cars that people could depend on day in and day out. It's no surprise that you see Toyota's on the streets of every corner of the world, from Tokyo to Timbuktu.
So, there you have it, the history of Toyota, a company that started humbly but grew to become a global giant in the automotive industry. They've given us reliable, sensible cars, but they've also shown that they can build high-performance legends and off-roaders that conquer the toughest terrain. Toyota is a brand that proves you can have your sensible cake and eat it with a sprinkle of excitement on top.
