The fourth-generation Hilux Surf came out in November 2002. It shared principal components with the Land Cruiser Prado, slightly enlarging the body dimensions and cabin space over the previous model. The trapezoidal front grille and the broad-based C-pillars gave unique features to the Hilux Surf, emphasizing its vigorous and sporty styling. The vehicle was designed and produced jointly by Hino Motors, Ltd. and Toyota, and was assembled by Hino. A front-engine, rear-wheel-drive model and a part-time 4-wheel-drive model with a sub transmission were available. The latter adopted the torque-sensing limited slip differential (Torsen LSD) to improve performance on a slippery road surface.

The engine lineup included 2.7-liter 4-cylinder (3RZ-FE) and 3.4-liter V6 (5VZ-FE) gasoline-powered units and a 3-liter 4-cylinder direct injection turbo diesel unit (1KD-FTV). The 2.7-liter unit was replaced with the 2TR-FE in 2004, and the 3.4-liter gasoline-powered engine was replaced with a 4-liter V6 unit (1GR-FE) in July 2005, while diesel models for the domestic market were discontinued. The transmission for the 4-liter model was a 5-speed automatic, while all other models came with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Production of the Hilux Surf was discontinued in August 2009, making the Land Cruiser Prado the only SUV in this segment by Toyota.

"Hilux" is a combination of "high" and "luxury." "Surf" means large waves which symbolize the expansiveness of the vehicle's utility.
