This 1999 SSR-X is a premier example of the N185 chassis, standing as a high caliber build that gives this platform the aggressive scale it deserves. It brings together the late model intercooled 1KZ-TE with a massive 6-inch total lift and just 87,401 verified miles, creating a combination you just don’t see. Finished in Millennium Silver, the truck has a raw, heavy duty aesthetic that matches the legendary durability of its diesel heart.
The mechanical core of this Surf is the legendary 3.0L 1KZ-TE intercooled turbo diesel, a robust powerplant that delivers a significant advantage over the standard non-intercooled versions by providing denser air intake for better thermal efficiency and more consistent torque. With only 87,401 verified miles, the engine is just beginning its life cycle and is paired with a responsive 4-speed automatic transmission and a selectable 4WD system. The truck has been overhauled to support a massive 6-inch total lift, achieved through a 2-inch suspension lift and a 4-inch body lift for exceptional ground clearance. This setup includes Rough Country shocks and springs up front, while the rear is anchored by Rancho springs and RS9000 adjustable shocks, which allow for granular control over ride firmness. It sits on a fresh set of new Thunderer Trac Grip M/T tires mounted to Deans Wheels, providing aggressive traction to match its stature. An aftermarket exhaust has also been fitted, letting the 1KZ-TE breathe easier and giving it a more pronounced, heavy duty sound that lets you know exactly what is under the hood.
The interior of this Surf is clean, functional, and centered around driver utility. The cabin features a genuine wood Nardi steering wheel on a tilt steering column, alongside the original factory gray upholstery which remains in excellent condition. For comfort and convenience, it is equipped with digital climate control delivering hot heat and cold AC, a Carrozzeria head unit, and keyless entry. The interior also includes power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as the iconic power retractable rear hatch window. This feature is incredibly useful for providing quick access to the large trunk area and improved airflow.
The exterior is finished in Millennium Silver (K73) and carries a massive physical presence driven by the 6-inch lift and large overfenders. The stance is centered around a set of Deans Wheels wrapped in brand new Thunderer Trac Grip M/T tires, giving the truck a heavy duty look and significant ground clearance. Up front, the functional intercooled specific hood scoop feeds the turbo diesel engine, paired with the JDM fender mirror for better visibility. The rear features a factory tire swing arm with a full sized spare and a rear spoiler that cleans up the back end. With its wide body flares and towering height, this Hilux Surf is a rugged, high-impact rig that looks exactly the way a JDM 4×4 should.
This KZN185 Hilux Surf represents the most desirable configuration of the third-generation platform, featuring the legendary 3.0L 1KZ-TE intercooled turbo diesel with just 87,401 verified miles. It is an incredible looking JDM SUV that has been professionally elevated through tons of quality upgrades while maintaining its core mechanical integrity and clean interior. This is a turn key rig that delivers aggressive styling and serious capability, making it perfect for hitting the trails, off-roading, or even just serving as a fun daily driver.
