The third generation Toyota Hilux Surf has earned a reputation as a dependable, go anywhere SUV, and this 1998 SSR-V Limited is a standout example. Finished in a striking two-tone combination of 204 Black Metallic over 6N0 Moonstone Pearl, it blends purposeful design with unmistakable style. With just 90,954 verified miles, this Surf remains mechanically sound and visually sharp, making it a versatile choice for weekend adventures, daily commuting, or anything in between.
This RZN185 is powered by the 2.7L 3RZ-FE four cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and selectable 4WD. Known for its durability and low-maintenance design, the 3RZ-FE is a time-tested powerplant that was also offered domestically in the U.S.-market Toyota 4Runner. This makes parts availability and servicing straightforward, with a wide support network and easy access to components across North America. The 3RZ offers a great balance of reliability, efficiency, and low-end torque. Equipped with selectable 4WD, this Hilux Surf offers the best of both worlds—rear-wheel drive for improved fuel economy during daily driving, and the ability to engage 4WD when the road demands more traction. The system includes both high and low range gearing, making it well suited for off-road trails, snow, mud, or any less than ideal conditions. Whether you’re navigating the city or heading off the beaten path, this setup provides flexibility, efficiency, and confidence wherever you go.
Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully updated with a set of black leather seat covers that not only add a more premium feel but also make for easier maintenance. Power windows, door locks, and mirrors are all present and functioning, along with a power rear window that gives passengers extra ventilation or access to the cargo area when needed. The manual telescoping steering wheel allows for a customizable driving position, and the large cargo area in the rear makes this Surf incredibly functional for hauling gear, work equipment and even groceries.
This Hilux Surf presents nicely with its classic two-tone paintwork. The Black Metallic upper contrasts neatly against the Moonstone Pearl lower panels, giving it a distinctly JDM character that has aged well. The body lines are clean, and the SUV stands with proper ride height and proportions. Features like the rear-mounted spare and squared-off profile reflect its utilitarian roots, while rain guards and running boards add everyday functionality. There are a few imperfections from normal use—including some scratches and a dent on the rear passenger door—but overall, this RZN185 remains in solid condition, thanks to its low mileage and responsible previous ownership.
All around, this 1998 Toyota Hilux Surf SSR-V is a versatile and dependable SUV with classic style and proven performance. Its well-kept condition and tasteful updates make it an excellent option for someone looking for a reliable daily driver that’s ready to handle weekend adventures without breaking a sweat. With legendary Toyota engineering and timeless design, it’s the kind of vehicle you can rely on for years to come.
