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

Direct-fit cup holders and centre console upgrades for the 3rd Generation Hilux Surf / 4Runner (N180/N185 series, 1996–2002). These solve the one ergonomic problem every 3rd Gen owner runs into eventually — Toyota's factory cup storage was never designed for a Kiwi-sized takeaway coffee. We stock the centre dashboard cup holder for early 96–98 trucks (where the factory unit cracks or goes missing), plus the cup holder armrest set that mounts cleanly between the front seats on KZN185, RZN185 and VZN185.

Fitment

All cup holders in this collection are direct-fit for the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf and 4Runner (1996–2002), covering KZN185 (1KZ-TE diesel), RZN185 (3RZ-FE petrol) and VZN185 (5VZ-FE V6 petrol). The centre dashboard cup holder is specific to the 96–98 dash; the armrest set fits the full 96–02 range.

FAQ

Will this fit my 4Runner? Yes — the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf (Japan-market) and 3rd Gen 4Runner (USA/AU/NZ-market) share the same N180/N185 chassis and interior, so anything in this collection bolts straight in.

Do I need to drill the dash? No. Both products are designed to use existing dash or console mounting points.

What if I have an early 1996 truck with the older dash? The centre dashboard cup holder is the right pick — it's purpose-made for 96–98 dashboards. Check the listing photos before you order.
