3rd Gen Hilux Surf & 4Runner Armrests (96–02)

Armrests, centre console lids and interior trim for the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf / 4Runner (N180/N185, 1996–2002). The factory centre console on these trucks is one of the most-replaced interior parts — the lid hinge gives up, the padding compresses, and the cup holder bracket cracks. This is the home for fixing all of that, plus the cup-holder-armrest combos that solve two ergonomic problems at once.

Fitment

All armrests in this collection are direct-fit for the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf and 4Runner, 1996–2002. Chassis codes covered: KZN185, RZN185 and VZN185. Both Japan-market Surfs and export-market 4Runners use the same console mounting points.

What's In This Collection

Replacement armrest tops, padded console lids, the cup holder armrest combo (mounts between the front seats, adds storage and a usable cup holder), and the surrounding console trim parts. Listings show finish options (leather/vinyl/cloth) and what's included.

Why Choose Surf Syndicate

The 3rd Gen interior is one of our specialties — we've fitted every armrest on this page to a real truck, photographed the install, and confirmed the bolt pattern matches both Surf and 4Runner. NZ shipping, and we'll send you a fitment photo if you're unsure.

FAQ

Will this fit if my factory console is broken or missing? Usually yes — most of these mount to the floor pan or seat mounting points, not to the factory console. Check the listing.

Will it fit a 4Runner Limited with leather? Yes — the centre console mounting is the same regardless of trim level.

Is there a heated armrest option? No — none of our armrests are powered or heated. They're padded replacements for the factory unit.
