Description
The Surf is a killer daily driver, good on fuel, fun to putt about town, and equipped with sturdy 4WD for when things get down and dirty You can scroll through our customer reviews, or ask any Surf owner, the 1KZ-TE under the hood is the bees knees and we love servicing these turbodiesel four bangers! To shore this one up for the road ahead, a new 12v battery was installed to aid ignition, and a fresh oil and filter service was performed to help the 3.0 chug along smoothly at idle. We also changed out the engine air filter and fuel filter to keep the 1K clean and free of unwanted contaminants.

After that basic tune up, it was ready to pound some pavement, and with the maintenance performed the turbodiesel roars up to highway speeds with ease. Shifts are handled by a durable automatic gearbox, which sends power through a selective transfercase, where both 2WD and 4WD are easily accessible. For true off-roaders, a center locking differential is on hand, and you can even slip into 4WD low to trudge through a blizzard. Bolstering the suspension, we installed new upper control arms in the rear, as well as lower shock bushings and front swaybar links to increase responsiveness. This lovely Surf starts, steers, and stops on a dime, with new front pads and rotors beefing up the ABS system. Handsome on tarmac and functional off it, brand new Falken A/T tires were mounted on the multipiece 16’s to keep you full of traction for the road ahead!
