Historical description of the model

The Toyota Hilux Surf VZN130G is one of the most recognizable off-roaders produced by the Japanese automotive giant. The presented SSR-X Wide Body version from 1991 was an update of the second generation Surf, produced from 1989 to 1995. The car quickly gained popularity not only in its native Japanese market but also in Australia, Europe, and America – mainly as the Toyota 4Runner. It became synonymous with reliability, combining durability and versatility – from everyday transportation, through off-road adventures, to military applications in specialist versions. Its golden era was the end of the exuberant motoring years of the 20th century, namely the 1990s.
