I do have a solution, but there are no custom fit hitches with a bolt-on installation for your 1997 Toyota Hilux Surf SSR-X. The only option is to use a universal hitch like the Curt Class 5 # C47CR. This weld-on hitch fits vehicle frames up to 44". We recommend taking it to a certified welder for installation.

What you can do is use a bolt leader like #80101-1 with a carriage bolt block through an open portion of your frame to basically act as a weld nut so you can install the hitch. This normally is a solution we use when a vehicle has a broken weld nut…
