2nd owner. Original except for stereo which was excellent when installed 10 years. It has spent it's recent half of it's life in FL (6 months) and AZ (11 years). Previously it was in Boston. This means it is not 100% a rust-free AZ truck, nor a clapped out rust bucket from the east. Nothing important has rust. Running boards, wiper arm, tail latch (pictures included), etc have some rust. I took pictures of the rockers and underneath -- there is no rust in the body, frame, or engine. The paint is very nice except the top has fading, some almost to white. It has a small oil leak that only leaks when driven and requires a quart every 6+ tanks of gas. The interior is as pristine as a 21 year old car is -- no rips in upholstery, cracked dash, 3rd seat rarely used -- the inside looks very good. There is a list of little things that is not exhaustive: Driver's mirror motor broken in mirror, gas tank door wobbly, only opens manually, rear latch missing handle but opens fine with the levers the handle is supposed to attach to, fender flares screwed on when replaced due to damage, small dent front bumper, some small chips in windshield, paint, and especially fender flares, running boards icky (rust, not flat, etc). Over hard bumps dash light can blink. Antennae does not go all the way up. Lost the remote for the key (can easily get a new one from Toyota).

I want to repeat that everything important works properly and safely. The brakes are perfect. The steering is. The transmission works correctly. It runs strong and does not smoke. The tires are good. It has been well kept.

In fact -- the very worst thing on the truck is the running boards.

This was the car of women and they never used it as a 4x4 -- no off roading, (husband tried it once, never again :-) ) no dents in the bottom, nothing ever filled with mud, well maintained and garaged most of the time (including now).

This would be excellent just as-is and has many years left in it with proper maintenance. Or you can take it off road and not worry about trashing an 85k rig (like the new ones). Or you can modify it -- soup the engine with a rebuild. This is no show queen, but it is a very nice 93 Cruiser. Me ... I'd chuck the running boards anyway and lift it and enjoy.

I am selling the car for the owner so it can take more time to get answers. Or you can send me a phone number and I'll have her call you.

Several people noticed I had no interior pictures -- that is because I hit the maximum of 24 pictures and they did not even give me an error message. The balance of the pictures are at the URL above. Interior, wheels, dash, stereo, door panels and more! Also took some redundancy out when re-listing and now have some interior pictures. Note that what looks like a hole in the carpet under driver is NOT -- it is a hole in a floor mat. The carpets are great and the mats OK except the one.

Toyota promises Hybrid-R concept for Frankfurt

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Toyota will be bringing a new concept car to the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Dubbed Hybrid-R, Toyota says the concept will feature the same Toyota Hybrid System-Racing tech found in the automaker's latest endurance car, the TS030 Hybrid.
That car took second place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a gas-powered, 3.4-liter, naturally aspirated V8 and a capacitor-based hybrid system. The result was 530 ponies from the engine and an extra 300 horsepower from the electric motor and batteries.
Toyota's press release came with but one image, a new Hybrid badge which is a far cry from the Hybrid Synergy Drive label found on the automaker's other offerings. There's really not much else to go on yet, but the news that Toyota is already adapting its racing tech for a concept bodes well for the future of exciting, hybridized offerings from the automaker. We'll be at Frankfurt live, and will be sure to bring you all the news on this new concept as it becomes available.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Toyota and Subaru file patents for performance FR-S and BRZ

Wed, Nov 11 2015

People have longed for a more powerful version of the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 since the triplets arrived on the market. So far, neither partner in the deal has launched a model to fully satiate that hunger. However, the Japanese patent office recently approved documents from Toyota for the design of a vehicle that looks just like the Subaru STI Performance Concept (pictured above). According to AutoGuide, the filing also gives Fuji Heavy Industries credit for the design. The STI Performance Concept debuted at this year's New York Auto Show as an early step in STI's attempt to expand its reach here. The BRZ-derived coupe featured a body with a ground-scraping front bumper, tweaked headlights, wider fenders, a massive rear wing, and diffuser with a center-exit exhaust. All of these elements also show up on the patent renderings. The concept was just as exciting under the hood because STI installed a 2.0-liter, turbocharged boxer four-cylinder from its GT300 racer, and upgrades for the chassis, suspension, and brakes came from the Japanese market's BRZ tS. While the coupe made hearts race, the company was clear it didn't necessarily plan to build the model. Patent filings aren't a guarantee for production, and even if this one does arrive in showrooms, it might not come to the US. That's because Subaru and Toyota have a history of creating Japan-exclusive versions like the tS or Style Cb. That being said, spy shots have revealed a camouflaged GT86 testing in Europe, and rumors indicate more power from the engine. Subie's boss has even confirmed the existence of a partnership to create a next-gen model. Related Video:
