afaik the 4runner is the suv version of the hilux. the hilux is generally the 4x4 pickup. my friend's ride has the 2.0 turbo diesel. the only thing i've observed is the steering radius since it's right hand, the left has a greater radius compare to the right.

follow the advice in the other thread. look for a well reputed seller and have a good mechanic to check for you. happy hunting
