2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Dorado Gold Pearl over Taupe leather interior. This version has the 4.7L V8, 5 speed automatic transmission, and rear wheel drive. Currently has about 146,000 miles but looks and drives great.


If you are looking for a 4runner then you probably already know what amazingly capable and dependable vehicles they are. If you are looking for a SUV and aren’t looking for a 4runner, you should be. Check some classified listings to see how many miles these trucks will go for and still hold their value.


This is why you want one with a V8: Incredible motor that was designed to serve in both trucks and luxury sedans so you get power, reliability, and refinement. The V6 version doesn’t save you much in MPG and won’t have the kind of power on demand that this does.


This is why you want a 2005: V6 models get upgraded from a 4 speed transmission to a 5 speed version. The V8 got a 35 horsepower boost to 270 HP / 320 lb/ft with no sacrifice in fuel economy thanks to variable valve timing.


This is why you want a Limited edition: You get these standard features not on SR5 models: Leather interior with 8-way power driver’s seat and 4-way power passenger seat, sunroof, 120V power inverter, upgraded instrument cluster illumination, heated front seats, dual zone climate control, auto on/off headlights, JBL Synthesis premium sound system with 6-disc in-dash CD/MP3 player, silver and granite interior trim with leather trimmed shift knob, and double-decker cargo shelf system.


This is why you want this one: We purchased it from the original owner in 2008. She drove up and down I-75 delivering brochures and her husband owns an auto shop so the car had highway miles and was maintained properly. A search of Toyota’s service records shows the replacement of the power lumbar motor as the only non-routine item in the first 100K miles. Since purchasing, we have kept up on the maintenance with regular Mobil 1 oil changes and other items as needed. We had the timing belt replaced and it isn’t required again until 180K miles. This has been a great truck that served us well but we are looking at getting either a 4WD version of this or it’s fancy cousin, the Lexus GX470. The car has no drivability issues and everything works as it should. There is the usual wear and tear associated with a vehicle of this age; some rock chips, a small scratch on the rear bumper, and some fading on a couple of the plastic fender flares. The only disappointment in the car is the cracked dashboard. Apparently Toyota hasn’t figured out how to make one that stands up to the heat as I’ve seen it on most of the other Lexus / 4Runners that we’ve been shopping for. Front tires are getting worn but can be worked into the deal. The car is being driven daily so mileage will increase. 


$500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of purchase. I shouldn't have to put pages of legal disclaimer here: if you make an offer and it is accepted, you are expected to buy the car and I'm expected to sell it to you. Have your inspections or financing completed first. I am happy to assist with shipping or inspections but this must be arranged before purchase. I'm also happy to take more pictures of any specific areas so you know exactly what you are getting.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.

Japan's government gives hydrogen vehicles a big boost

Tue, Jun 3 2014

The Japanese government is really paving the way for hydrogen fuel cell technology on its roads. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is changing regulations on fuel tanks to make hydrogen cars more appealing to drivers, which should help put the country ahead of others in the race to develop a viable H2 fleet. Japan is raising the allowed pressure of hydrogen tanks from 700 atmospheres to 875, which has the effect of increasing driving range by 20 percent. This move puts the country in line with others with high-pressure fueling regulations. Japan is also in talks with the United Nations and the European Union to streamline inspection rules to make it easier to export Japan's fuel-cell vehicles. Toyota premiered its hydrogen-powered FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and plans to release a production version as early as next year. Honda also plans to build its own fuel-cell cars for 2015, and it debuted its FCEV Concept at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Nissan is sending mixed messages on hydrogen, both questioning the availability of a refueling infrastructure and working on developing the vehicles. In Japan, a relatively small country, increasing the range of fuel-cell vehicles makes creating a usable infrastructure a bit less daunting. Will hydrogen-fueled electric cars see the same sort of success as Toyota's Prius hybrid or battery-powered EVs? Only time will tell, but we can keep our fingers crossed that it will, and that the popularity spills over beyond Asia.
