1985 Toyota 4runner Sr5 on 2040-cars
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5. This is the last year in US market the solid front axle was available, and the first year that fuel injection was available. This has both!
I bought this in November of 2011 after many years of looking for the one I wanted. I am getting married next month, so I need to move on to something that sleeps two comfortably. The previous owner was also a Toyota enthusiast and had flown to Florida to buy it in 2010. He didn't want any surprises on his 1483 mile drive back to Wisconsin so he change all of the fluids (brake, trans, transfer, differential, and engine oil), and replaced the entire cooling system (radiator, hoses, water pump, Toyota 2 stage thermostat, and belts). U-joints were greased regularly, as well as all grease-able steering components. This truck was originally white, but is now red. The paint job looks good for a seven year old paint job, and still shines. The body has over 220,000 miles and the previous owner told me the engine was rebuilt about 40k miles ago. The legendary 22re is durable, and has plenty of power. I am getting 23mpg on the highway, and 18 in the city. It always starts, runs, and brakes as it should. Cool options on this truck are the power steering, power antenna, power windows, and factory cruise control...They all work! The rear window works with the key in the tailgate AND the switch on the console. The factory (non-leaking) sunroof is there, with the factory removable sun shade. Altimeter and inclinometer on the dash all still work. There are two things missing: the key pad (outer) part of the passenger door window switch, and the shifter boots. (I wanted to source original factory parts, but haven't made time or need for those two things. I do have the passenger window switch, and the master on the driver door controls the passenger window anyway.) The rear window defroster does not work because the wires in the glass are worn. I haven't cared to source new glass, because this doesn't get driven in the winter. The complete air conditioning system is there, but doesn't work. I'd guess it needs to be charged, but again, you don't need A/C when you can roll your back window down, so I haven't cared about it. The heat works great and the optional REAR heat blows hot too! This beauty is 27 years old, so you're not getting a perfect truck. There are a few little dings but no major dents or damage. Rust is starting over the rear wheel arches, but no holes. The paint shines nicely as the two previous owners took good care of the exterior and interior. (The previous owner's wife had a newer Jeep Cherokee...he made her park that outside, so that his Toyotas could stay in the garage! I take this out on weekends mostly, and it stays in a barn when not in use.) The frame is not rusty at all! It has the factory W56 5-speed manual transmission that shifts nice and smooth with a firm clutch pedal. It also has newer Monroe sense-trac shocks and rides pretty nice for a solid axle truck. It has the removable factory top with factory roll bar. I have never taken the top off. The rear bumper is custom made by the previous owner, and if you look you will notice that it is awesome. It is currently rolling on matching Michelin LTX all season tires that are in good shape. There is a spare that I keep in the rear. I reserve the right to end the auction early as this is also for sale locally. If you have a 4x4 Tacoma that is not red or rusty, but IS an xtra cab or crew cab, I will consider trades (plus cash on my end if your truck is worth it). You don't see many of these, and certainly not in this condition. Here is your opportunity to own a classic 4x4! *EDIT: the Autocheck is showing a 2005 accident. I cannot tell looking at it or underneath it. It drives straight, and I haven't had any problems. |

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table
Fri, 02 May 2014Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.
Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.
Toyota SEMA concepts promote active lifestyles, rallying [w/video]
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Toyota has six vehicles that it's bringing to the Specialty
Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show next week, all of which were developed by and for people who live active lifstyles. Four of them are the result of the Toyota Dream Build Challenge, which tasked a team of athletes and vehicle customization shops to build Toyota sedans, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in seven weeks that would enhance performance in their respective sports.
We'll lead off with the CamRally Camry, developed by NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman, Kyle Busch Motorsports and Mooresville, NC shop Detroit Speed, Inc. for the Dream Build Challenge, because it appeals to us gearheads (sure, call us one-sided). It was totally transformed into a rally vehicle, and it has to be the most badass Camry we can remember seeing. The sedan is always a bit flaccid-looking in stock form, but the CamRally's wide body and other exterior upgrades and the turbocharger make us forget about that, as do its stripped, painted interior and Sparco race seat.
