Toyota Surf question.....

[Gboy29]

Hi guys! Bago lang ako dito, great site! :D

May mga tanong lang ako tungkol sa toyota surf, hope you can help me..
1. Anong engine gamit nito?
2. Ano difference nya sa 4 runner? I see alot of them(4runner and Surf)and parang magkamukha naman sila...
3. Maganda po ba interior? walang ingay or something..
4. Parts availability? ok?
5. And Good Buy po kaya ito?


thanks alot!

Madami po siyang engines (alam ata ni Hanson lahat).

4Runner po ang pangalan ng Surf sa America.

Interior is similar to a Toyota pick-up. Depende po sa edad at condition ng sasakyan kung maingay siya. Everything is gray kaya medyo boring tignan. Hehehe. Kung fibe

Pick-up truck parts usually work. Huwag lang RHD-specific part ang masisira (like some underchassis parts). Wala pong nabibili ng mga ganoon.

Depende po sa presyo at condition kung good buy.

i read this somewhere (4x4 magazine, i think): the hilux surf is basically the prado drivetrain fitted with a lighter body for a sportier ride.

[mbt]

the 4runners before the latest one (which is derived from the new prado) were based on the tacoma pickup and not on the prado... yung previous gen 4runner ('96-'02) garnered excellent reviews for "an outstanding blend of off-roadability and on-road performance" or something like that...

[ARB]

splerdu you are right the 4 runner is based on the prado, one difference is the chassis is stiffer in the prado.

the suspension of the prado, 4runner and tacoma in the front which is the double wishbone with coil spring is the same for the three. even their engines the 3.4 v6 are the same.

1. Engine varies: may diesel at turbo. Pero most diesels I've seen from auction vehicles are turbo EFIs.

2.Just like as OTEP says they are one and the same.

3. On the interior, katulad siya ng sa Hilux with minor differences in some amenities depending on a high end or low end model. Kung brand new siya syempre matino at walang ingay pero sa auctions ay swertehan. :lol:

4. Parts availability is good except for some models whose engines were not formally introduced by Toyota Motors Philippines.

5. If you are buying brand new then definitely one of the best buys. Sa auctions naman kung sariwa ay pwede na rin. :P

how much ang surf sa auctions ngayon?

[crawdaddy]

older versions nasa around P300k - P350k yata... the newer ones, yun daw yung may 1KZ yata na engine, same engine ng Prado, lampas ng P500k...

[Gboy29]

Ok thanks. The surf im askin about is the one on the 350K range.
Ok kaya to pang long driving, kse gagamitin to mostly papunta province.
Thanks alot sa lahat ng sagot!

ingat lang sa conversions...

[crawdaddy]

yes, super ingat sa convertions... may nabasa ako sa AI kaibigan daw niya biglang nawalan ng steering at 80 km/h... tas isang kilala ko nawalan din ng steering, buti nalang nasa may garahe na siya about to park...

My classmate lost steering control of his LC70 series Prado while driving in the province.

ang kuleeet! :lol: :mrgreen:

[Gboy29]

Yikes! kakatakot yun ah....
Pano kaya malalaman kung ok yung conversion? Sabi ksi sakin wala na daw welding welding na gnagawa ngyon unlike daw noon... safe kaya yun? how about yung conversion kit? ano ano po kasama dun? thanks alot mga pre!

[crawdaddy]

I THINK yung sinasabi niyang wala nang welding-welding is ginagamitan nila ng kits for LHD vehicles, and sabi ng bossing ko mas ok daw yun...

pero wala pa akong experience sa mga yan ha and wala pa akong balita so I wouldn't know first-hand...

better bring a trusted mechanic to inspect the vehicle...

sir otep side question lang po about sa friend mo, hindi ba naaksidente ang friend mo, an nangyari sa ride niya?

[FrankDrebin]

Basta't converted mas prone sa sira.

[turbo]

Yong Surf ko walang problema sa suspension or steering. Ang problema niya ay ang cooling system. Prone to head cracking. Nagpalit na ako ng head, pero meron pa ring overheating problem. Sa gamit naman ok, kaya lang masyadong high ratio ang differential. Masyadong mabagal.

[nikko m]

turbo,
yea..your right,my uncle in the provice kce drives a surf,cguro naka dalawang palit na sya ng head.

and re: sa enginr ng surf,3L po ata ang diesel engine nya or was it 2L?
one think i notice also is parang hirap yun engine ng surf,ang kupad eh.and the interior looks exactly same as the old hilux.basically wagon na hilux.
