Unless your going for a realy early model it will be 5 speed (manual), think they changed early 80s.

Rust and knackered spring must be the obvious things to look out for, and if your going for a 4x4 check that it switches to 4wd ok, also ask when it had the cambelt changed.

If your 95 diesel is as gutless as mine then a V8 transplant is a good idea! What V8 are you thinking of SBC or Rover?

My other pickup is a Chevrolet 454SS (BBC 7.4L) but this tends to be a bit thirsty (4-10mpg)! :P

The D4D came in 2002 along with them dropping the manual hubs. (No more standing in the mud!)

But of course you now have the amazing new hilux that got released in October. And get this it’s cheaper than the old one!!

the new Toyota hilux

Hope this site helps.

I am very happy they did not drop manual hubs here, automatics are not that strong and tend to do on/off when stuck on mud.

Anyone lifted trucks here?

My D4D has 3" body lift and 33" BFGs.
