This is an absolutely rust free example of the highly valued 2nd generation 4Runner SUV. Its black on the outside, in fact its all black, including the bumpers, the mirrors and all the chrome. Its currently wearing American Racing alloy wheels with Michelin tires, but I also have the original factory alloys that are also painted black. Its very sharp looking with its recent respray, and its as straight as an arrow with NO RUST anywhere. Its also a 5-speed manual, which is a fantastic option for a number of reasons. The first reason is because with the automatic, these trucks are incredible slow, but not so with the manual trans. Its actually pretty fun to drive, even when you're driving on a paved surface. The 4WD works perfectly, so as fun as it is to drive on pavement, its 10 times as fun off pavement. The engine, trans and drivetrain work great, the only flaw being that this one still has the mechanical speedometer which works fine, but chatters a bit at high speed. Its no bother, but you do hear the mechanical speedo from time to time. I think in 1993 or 94, Toyota used an electronic speedo that made much less noise. Anyway, this is a totally blacked out 4Runner in unbelievable shape, both physically and mechanically. The interior is OK, but not nearly as nice as the outside. The driver's seat is threadbare and worn, so I have it covered in authentic sheepskin. The passenger seat is also covered in black fur, but its not the real stuff. The seat itself is fine with no rips or tears. The back seat is in great shape, but its got a black "Dickies" cover on it just to keep it nice and maintain the black look. It has a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with an aux input, so I plug my iPhone into it and listed to Sirius satellite radio through my iPhone. The head unit is fine, the speakers in the truck are not so great, but they work.

So I priced it at $4,150 with the American Racing alloys and the michelin tires, which I think is a bargain, or in the alternative, I'll sell the truck with the factory wheels for $3,500 cash.

Will Toyota lose up to 70% of its workforce in TX relocation?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Toyota's decision to move its US headquarters from its longtime home in Torrance, CA, to Plano, TX, was one of the biggest stories in the automotive industry this spring. With several months since the announcement, more details about the plan have leaked out. It seems that pulling up stakes could mean an even larger shakeup in the Toyota workforce than first thought.
According to Automotive News, Toyota intends to hang onto around 50 percent of its workforce in the move to the Lone Star State. However, even that figure might be optimistic. According to an unnamed insider speaking to AN, there is a fear the actual number could be closer to 30 percent. For comparison, Nissan retained about 42 percent of its workers in its move from California to Tennessee.
The actual percentage making the move is a mystery because Toyota is still rewriting its job descriptions under a single set of guidelines. The changes affect benefits, bonuses and the reporting structure, according to Automotive News, and employees' reactions could play a big role in who decides to go. According to an unnamed worker speaking to AN, the wait is hurting morale. Some people are even applying at the nearby Honda headquarters.

Toyota sizzle reel gives better look at i-Road Geneva concept

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Toyota is taking the tiny tandem Tango to Tron town. In a teaser video for the new i-Road, debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next week, we catch a light-bike-like glimpse of Toyota's quirky tandem-seat concept. We still don't know much about the vehicle itself, but the video does flash the words "fun, compact, emissions-free," which suggests this is an electric ride. Then comes the apparent tagline: "i Roll, i Rock i Road." An indication that the tilting image we see in the video isn't just a special effect, perhaps? We'll have to wait until we get to Switzerland next week to find out. Until then, you can watch the video below.
In more earthly reveals, Toyota will also show off its hotly anticipate FT-86 Open sports car concept and Auris Touring Sports wagon on its Geneva show stand.

Scion pondering move upmarket?

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.
