I have our family truck we are finally going to sell. This truck has been all over the country with us, and has Never and I mean Never given us 1 ounce of trouble. We have 2 kids who play hockey, and 2 competitive cheerleaders and we drove all over. This car did wonders pulling our boat as well.

The truck has 215500 miles, but has many more left in it.
Has super cold A/C
Runs perfect
Looks great and exterior is very good shape.
The interior is in good shape, only problem is the 2 front seats have rips and tears in them. we have had seat covers on them for years now, and forgot that they are even ripped.
The truck has the third row of seat so 7 people can fit fine.
It has the 4 wheel drive, low and high, works perfectly in the snow
It has a luggage rack, side running boards, 6 disc cd changer, Third row seating, rear heat, towing package, Straight 6 cylinder engine, smooth shifting transmission, new tires, brand new battery.
In the 14 years that I owned this vehicle, the only thing besides maintain the engine, is replace a head gasket. No other problems ever.
We are only selling this truck because we have 3 of them, and the kids are off in college so we don't need a large vehicle.
We also have a 2001 Lexus LX470, and a 1996 GMC jimmy that will be for sale.
The only blemish on the exterior is from the harsh winter, right under the back window is some surface rust, and a tiny spot on the front hood. Its only that way because of the age and use. Someone with a little elbow grease can clean it up nicely.

If your looking for a dependable truck for either around and for great use in winter then this is just right. Call Dave 847-803-8570 with any questions

Lexus has big expectations for small NX crossover

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

One has to wonder why it took so long for Lexus to enter the hotly contested compact premium crossover market. The brand itself projects some 36,000 sales for its brand-new NX, which is set to go on sale in the US in November. Add that potential to the 100,000-plus RX crossovers it sells annually in the States and Lexus looks poised to put some hurt on German rivals like Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
The vast majority of Lexus NX models imported to the States will be powered by a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to either the front or all four wheels. Just 10 percent or so of NX models will get the 194-horsepower hybrid powertrain wrapped in NX 300h trim. Though not yet rated by the EPA, Lexus projects mileage ratings of 22 city, 28 highway and 24 combined for the turbo and 35/31/33 for front-wheel-drive hybrids (expect a one-mpg combined hit for AWD models with either engine).
In terms of sizing, the Lexus NX is dimensionally very similar to the Audi Q5, which starts at $37,300. Lexus hasn't yet released pricing information for its NX, but promises to be in the same range as its competitors. We note with interest that the larger Lexus RX starts at $40,795 - a little over $3,000 more than the Audi its NX will compete against - and wonder out loud if the Japanese automaker can undercut its German competitors in pricing with the NX. Expect official pricing info from Lexus closer to its on-sale date later this year.

2014 Lexus CT 200h F Sport

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

The idea of the Lexus CT 200h F Sport intrigues me. A compact, premium, efficient hatchback with an added dose of sportiness? Sign me up. It's why I'm still crossing my fingers for Volkswagen to sell the Golf GTD on our shores (though recent reports on that front are bumming me out). And judging a book by its cover, this Lexus certainly looks like it could be an interesting proposition.
Lexus first launched the CT for the 2011 model year, and for 2014, the little hatch has been given a makeover, now proudly wearing the company's new spindle grille, for better or worse. When we reviewed the CT after its launch, executive editor Chris Paukert called it "handsome, well screwed together," and "one of Toyota's boldest offerings in years." That may have been true, but after a slight makeover and some fresh new F Sport duds, I'm wondering if the CT proposition isn't looking a little more unfortunate than before.

Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform

Fri, 25 Oct 2013



"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."
