Hilux independent/live axle what year & engines

[mach289]

Was just wondering what year they went from live axle to independent front end.
On the standard and the SR5

Oct 97 was the change over from solid front end to the IFS on all models, they had 3.0L diesel, petrol 2.7L 4cyl & 3.4L V6.

The IFS was standard on the SR5 & extra cab models on the 3rd generation model before that ran from 1988 to 1997 (dumbdance will confirm). The base models had a solid front end. These had the 2.8L diesel, 2.4L petrol. All 4-runners had IFS with 3.0L V6 or 2.8L diesel (very rare)

The IFS was an option for SR5's on the 2nd generation Hiluxs & 4-runners from 1984 - 1988. They had 2.2 or 2.4 diesel's or 2.0 or 2.2L petrols.

All 1st generation hilux's had solid front ends. These had 2.0L petrol or a 2.0L diesel.

all 4runners from late 85 on and all SR5 from 92 up and all late 96 and up luxes have IFS

[thebrunks]

All extra cabs from 89 on, and dual cab SR5's from 91/92 on (the dual cab SR5 prior had Solid front).

89 was the first time IFS was released in the Hilux range in oz, the 4 runners in the series before had IFS.

Current generation all came with IFS.
