Rare 1981 Toyota Trekker 4 Wheel Drive 5 Speed R22 Straight Axles New Fenders on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
|
This rare Toyota Trekker is one of 1500 built as collaboration between Winnebago and Toyota (I listed it under 4 Runner since eBay didn’t have a Trekker category and 1980 because eBay won’t take my VIN as a 1981). It was the forerunner to the Toyota 4Runner. From the cab back is all fiberglass, thus no rust. There is seating for two in the back. I am the second owner of this vehicle. I bought it in 1984 with 16,961 miles on it. It now has 209,826 miles. I have babied it for the 30 years I have had it. I have always taken the approach that I would keep it forever when having work done on it. Besides oil changes, I made a rule to have it worked on at dealers when possible. I have always used OME parts when they were available, including Toyota oil and air filters (and the new front fenders, which are now unavailable). In 30 years it has only failed to start twice. For a 33 year vehicle with 200k miles it is in amazing shape. It has many upgrades including a new radio (Retro Sound), driver’s seat (Recaro), back seat (Baja), new upholstery and headliner. I had the exhaust piping and muffler system replaced two summers ago. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 at 183,171 miles. The front seats have retractable shoulder and lap belts. The back seat has lap belts and headrests for two small people. It has good tires with plenty of tread left on them. BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A 30x9.50 R15LT. It has Smitty Built bumpers and rocker bars. It has a 2” receiver hitch and 7 pin plug socket for towing. It’s not much of a tow vehicle and I’ve only really used the hitch for a bike rack! It has a roof rack that comes with it. In 2010 I had a cheap paint job which is not holding up very well. I did put new OME front fenders on at that time so there is very little rust on the vehicle. It has lived out west so it hasn’t seen any salt but has endured so amazing winters. I have most of the original paperwork, owner’s manual, repair manual and some old flyers for the Trekker. This has been my only vehicle for the past 30 years! I know it inside and out and have taken very good care of it. I’ve never done serious 4 wheeling with it, only dirt roads and Montana winters. It’s been all over the US so a lot of the miles are highway. It is not perfect but it’s one of the nicer Trekkers still on the road. It is now in Bozeman Montana inside a storage facility but it has not been garaged its whole life. I highly recommend coming to Bozeman to pick it up and do some fishing or camping along the way. Summer will be here in a month or two! I am the second owner of this vehicle and bought it in 1984 from the dealer in Townsend Montana. I would prefer a cash deal but am open to other possibilities. It is certainly drivable but I would trailer it because of the front axle seals. Remember it is in Bozeman Montana. I used it as my daily driver until November 2013 when I garaged it. I thought I would do a show quality restoration and then my children turned into teenagers! I want them driving something with airbags! Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions. |

Here We Go Again: Lexus attacks EVs in new ad [UPDATE]
Wed, Sep 10 2014UPDATE: We got a comment from founding member of Plug In America Paul Scott on this ad. It's available below. The last time Lexus attacked plug-in battery vehicles in an ad, it had to apologize. The company is remaining on message, though, and has revisited a hybrid-vehicle advertising campaign that implies that driving a battery-electric vehicle is a big waste of time, because of all the charging you need to do. With the new spot, Lexus once again raised hackles of plug-in vehicle advocates because, once again, the accuracy is questioned. "The ad's message was that a consumer could [drive] a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." – Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain Lexus is running print ads (click to enlarge) in publications like Wired poking fun at EVs, the International Business Times says. Lexus highlights range anxiety in the spot, comparing the amount of time it takes to fully recharge an EV – and the idea that air conditioning and using the radio can shorten an EV's range – to the fun of just driving a Lexus. "The [print] ad was merely intended to paint a picture of life with a hybrid, which is basically no different from life with a traditional gas-powered vehicle, versus life with an EV, which can have challenges or at least uncertainties," Lexus spokesman Brian Bolain told AutoblogGreen. "In other words, at its core, the ad's message was that a consumer could participate in driving a vehicle with advanced technology today, without sacrifice or change in habit." The campaign picks up where Lexus's previous anti-EV campaign left off this spring. A website promoting Lexus's hybrids (and parent company Toyota's H2 vehicles) claimed that there was a hydrogen refueling infrastructure set up in 20 US states (not anywhere close to true). Plug-in advocates were also quick to note that higher-powered EV recharging systems can allow a plug-in to be recharged in far less than the four hours the Lexus site claimed. Of course, Toyota has a lot more skin in the game when it comes to hybrids and, starting next year, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles than it does for plug-ins. Through August, the company sold just 842 RAV4 EVs and about 11,500 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrids in the US. That compares to almost 19,000 Nissan Leaf EVs and a Tesla Model S count that's likely close to that figure as well (Tesla breaks out neither monthly sales numbers nor US-only sales for the Model S).
Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale
Sat, 08 Jun 2013Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.
Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
