AOA dear pakwheelers, i am searching for a toyota hilux surf 1992 model under 2 million budget. i have previously driven Parado 96 and Pajero 95, both were diesel but they were 3 door and auto. m looking for a big car with more space in my budget, my mechanic told me to buy surf and swap its engine with 2KD or 1KD manual. my commute is on weekly basis from Pindi to Layyah via MM-Road or sometimes motorway. 1kz is gas guzzler and its too loud for motorway, i need fuel economy,because i m a cruiser not a racer.that is why he suggested me not to buy 1KZ. please guide me If i buy a surf, then which engine to swap in and can the arrangements come under my budget. Your recommendations and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

@rajaatta @dani_kk @sameerulhaq064 can help & guide you.

Surf is a 4 door truck with an empty loading bucket covered with canopy, while you have used 3 door SUVs'. The cabin comfort & drive noise level over highways for a semi-truck is very different in comparison, as both belong to different class of vehicles.

Surf was discontinued in 2009 and Fortuner was launched as successor

1kd on higher cruise speeds is a fuel guzzler like 1kz
Where as 2kd with manual tranny can survive a bit but will on lag high rpm loads.
Where as the purpose of the built is long drive cruise I would suggest to swap 1KZ with A340DE with 3.7 diff ratio it will bounce off the high revs and will lower the rpm range on long route cruises like at 100 km/h rpm will be at 1800 with lock up engaged where as same setup will have many negative affects on mountains and off roads.

2KD or 1GD would be good swap. But GD is a little expensive compared to 2kd
