You are looking at a Spectacular, Extremely rare, low mileage factory Diesel Safari that feels almost brand new! The Safari(Patrol) was built for the Japanese Domestic Market and has all the options that were always “dreamed of” but never available here in the US! The 4.2L Diesel engine produces decent power and lots of torque, while still achieving 22-24 mpg on the highway! This vehicle has only 39,000 miles on an engine known to go to 500,000 or more with proper care and maintenance. With the robust five speed transmission, factory PTO Winch, and 31 inch tires this vehicle can go virtually anywhere! This would make an excellent platform for that ultimate expedition vehicle, and is quite capable even in the factory configuration as you see here.
Pristine, strong running, exceptionally well maintained Safari with all the options! Gets great gas mileage (22-24mpg) with good power from the original factory 4.2L Diesel. This truck runs super smooth, and is a blast to drive! The body is clean and straight, with no rust anywhere! It is the cleanest specimen I have seen for a truck originating from Japan! The truck rides really nice with the factory coil spring suspension and the original 15 inch rims with 31/10.50R15 snow tires that are in good shape with maybe 80% tread life left. The truck has dual 12 volt batteries, and a 24-volt electrical system. The PTO winch looks to have never even been used, and has the original cover included. The interior is in flawless shape, with no issues anywhere. Seat covers look to have been used since new, and the carpet has a green rubber mat material that has protected it since new as well. It even smells new when sitting inside! The original roof rack and access ladder are fully functional and the winch is mounted in the factory bull-bar with nice large auxiliary driving lights.
This Safari has been averaging 23 mpg while driving mostly around town and occasionally on the highway! She is running strong, and will gather attention wherever you go! Don't be intimidated by the right hand drive, as it is extremely fun to drive and will only take the average driver a few spins to handle it like a professional! Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
Recent maintenance includes all fluids checked and/or replaced with new, new oil filter, new air filter and all carpet and upholstery steam cleaned, although it didn't really need it. The engine is in great mechanical condition with no leaks or issues. The body is clean and straight, with a couple tiny dents that aren't even noticeable. Please contact me if you would like any more detailed pictures of the interior, body or undercarriage.
This vehicle is 100% legally imported, and is currently titled and licensed in Colorado. I have all the paperwork and documentation for registration in another state, and can assist with the process for the new owner as necessary.
Thanks for looking at this amazing truck. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
