About the 3rd-generation Toyota Hilux Surf/4Runner[]
Developed with the designation code N180, the 3rd-generation Hilux Surf/4Runner is Toyota's mid-size SUV. It went on sale in late 1995 and supersedes the 2nd-genration models.
Compared to the previous generation models, the 3rd-generation models now feature a larger body on a long wheelbase. The new 4Runner also gained dual airbags and ABS in terms of safety.
Powering the 3rd-generation 4Runner are a 2.7 liter 3RZ-FE natural-aspirated inline-4 DOHC petrol engine, a 3.4 liter 5VZ-FE natural-aspirated V6 DOHC petrol engine, a 3.0 liter 1KZ-TE turbocharged inline-4 SOHC diesel engine and a 3.0 liter 1KD-FTV turbocharged inline-4 DOHC diesel engine. The engine is mated to either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual gearbox, which sends the powers to all four wheels through its part-time four-wheel drive drivetrain. The Japanese models also gained a center differential.
Supporting the ladder frame chassis is the front double-wishbone suspensions with coil springs and stabilizer bar, and the rear trailing arms suspensions with coil springs and stabilizer bar. Braking power is provided by the front ventilated disc brake and the rear drum brake.
The 3rd generation 4Runner was later supersedes by the 4th-generation N210 models in August 2002.
