2002 with 3RZ?

[Weejub]

Why am I not finding any info on this? One is for sale here locally, and I can't seem to find that they existed.

 

[HiluxSurf SSR-G]

that could be an import, or maybe the owner replaced the engine

 

[UnderFire]

Shouldn't exist since the 3rz wasn't put into any US models after 2000 when they updated to the coil on plug ignition. I don't know if it was discontinued for the Canadian market though, so it may have been imported.

 

[Weejub]

All guides on here as well as the Wiki and the History site state that in 2001 it was discontinued. Owner states it is a 4 Cylinder when discussing with him.

Thanks, guys. I will take a look and get the VIN etc, check the VIN on the engine, do the VIN look up, etc.

Appreciate it!!


Edit - I don't even see it as a worldwide option, btw.

I was gonna say check the vin. I see it all too often when people just don't know what they actually have. But would still be worth taking a look at

Knock him down on price because it's a "4 cylinder"...

 

[Weejub]

We are going to pass on it - - I'm very curious about it, but I just don't have time right now to deal with a swap or issues with VINs, etc.

Ty for all the help everyone.

It's a V6. Just gotta ask for pictures...

 

[amalik]

If the VIN starts with "VZN", it's a 6. If it starts with "RZN", it's a 4.

But a pic of the engine bay and the underside is essential anyway.

My VIN starts with 'JT3'. 1997 V6. Is that a 2000+ thing?

That's the chassis code not the vin

Yep. Brain fart. Post deleted.

In truth, it's the fifth spot in the VIN. M=3RZ, N=5VZ.

No, sorry. That's the frame code.My bad. See above.

I sent an emAil. I'll post his response

 

[SupaSupra]

Guy probably doesn't know what he's talking about. The ad even says 6 cyl.

 

[fblainen11]

He said it is a V6.
