Rugged, simple, reliable and fun. Add to that room to spare and you may have
the ultimate sport utility vehicle. As a
flagship model, the Land Cruiser always served to demonstrate Toyota’s
engineering and design talents. I think
they really nailed it with the FJ60-62 series.
Outdoor enthusiasts certainly admire this vehicle. It’s a timeless design, kind of like a Swiss
Army knife.
This vehicle has led a privileged life. Always garaged, always maintained at the Toyota dealership. As anyone who is a fan of the FJ series knows, they are prone to rust. That makes the originality and meticulous care of this one all the more cherished. Maintenance overall has been top shelf. The previous owner took care of some problem areas around the wheel wells and they have held up nicely. The color of this FJ62 is called Beige Metallic. This certainly was consistent with the Safari intentions of the original series. Appropriately, it is almost exactly the same color as dirt that dries after spending some time on a county access road. Pretty clever and suits the vehicle well! The inside is the tan and brown color combination. Overall, it is in excellent driver condition. The carpet, dash, rear panels all demonstrate the care this prized possession has received. Along with a warm cozy place to rest at night, the legendary inline 6 2F motor has sipped only the finest vintages. Lucas additives were used occasionally and the previous owner is not at all a fan of ethanol. Fortunately, we have some pure gas options in the area and he always sought them out. It’s been given the care necessary to demonstrate its tractor-like tenacity and durability. I have no doubt it will serve up many more miles of fun and adventure. All the photos
in this listing and quite a few more can be found at the following link – https://www.flickr.com/photos/105315473@N02/ This is the last model year for the highly regarded FJ60 series. Last model years like the Grand Wagoneer and the Mercedes SL series typically command the highest collector values. I guess only time will tell with this one, but it certainly stands as testament to Toyota’s much deserved legacy. The FJ62 is geared to be more accommodating at highway speeds and has a few other refinements that forecast the direction this flagship model would eventually go in the efforts to stay ahead of the pack. Fortunately, it did if from the same handsome sheet metal lines and with the same purposeful ruggedness. What other vehicle was designed to hit a rock at 60 mph without incident? Exactly, not many and probably none does it better. There are a few issues the new owner may want to take care of. The driver’s seat has a tear on the side in the vinyl section. The cloth insert in the same area is starting to separate. Both are because the foam is a showing its age. Aftermarket seat covers are readily available. The vinyl section could be easily replaced by an upholstery shop. So, you may just want to preserve the originals. The mud guard on the passenger front tire is gone. So too is the rocker panel trim piece. They were lost when backing out of a snow bank – a badge of honor earned the right way! These parts can be easily sourced at dealerships or online. The new owner will also want to put on a new set of tires, at least before next winter. These issues have been factored into the reserve price. Out of respect to all bidders and the auction process, I will not reveal the reserve price. It is set at a very reasonable price, well below the level at which she is likely to earn bids. Please bid the amount you are comfortable spending on the vehicle. I’ve tried to describe and capture through photos the vehicle in great detail. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call. My cell is (816) 786-7534. Load up your friends, family, some camping gear fishing poles or bikes and take this thing for another adventure. It is eager to accommodate! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. |

Toyota moving US headquarters to Plano, Texas
Mon, 28 Apr 2014It's official, Toyota is relocating its US operations to Plano, TX. And it won't be a symbolic 'all ranch and no cattle' gesture - the Japanese automaker, whose headquarters have been in California since 1957, has decided to base nearly all of its operations in the Lone Star State, including much of its engineering, finance and sales and marketing teams.
The move, which will see the establishment of a new headquarters campus in the Dallas suburb will not only affect employees at the company's current Torrance, CA Toyota Motor Sales USA campus, it will also touch the lives of thousands of employees at the company's other operations, including 1,000 workers at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America in Erlanger, KY and some New York-based staff as well. The Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, MI is not facing relocation, however, and it actually stands to gain responsibilities as Toyota overhauls its US org chart. Toyota says that its reorganization will affect about 4,000 employees in total.
According to Automotive News, while Toyota is adopting an "'everyone is invited' stance for the relocation," some attrition is expected from employees who aren't interested in relocating southward from the Golden State. For its part, the automaker is reportedly making expenses-paid visits to Plano available to full-time staffers and spouses to help them make the relocation decision, as well as a lump-sump payment if they decide to go through with the move.
Is 120 miles just about perfect for EV range?
Tue, Apr 15 2014When it comes to battery-electric vehicles, our friend Brad Berman over at Plug In Cars says 40 miles makes all the difference in the world. That's the approximate difference in single-charge range between the battery-electric version of the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Leaf. It's also the difference between the appearance or disappearance of range anxiety. The 50-percent battery increase has zapped any lingering range anxiety, Berman writes. The RAV4 EV possesses a 40-kilowatt-hour pack, compared to the 24-kWh pack in the Leaf. After factoring in differences in size, weight and other issues, that means the compact SUV gets about 120 miles on a single charge in realistic driving conditions, compared to about 80 miles in the Leaf. "The 50 percent increase in battery size from Leaf to RAV has zapped any lingering range anxiety," Berman writes. His observations further feed the notion that drivers need substantial backup juice in order to feel comfortable driving EVs. Late last year, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), along with the Consumers Union estimated that about 42 percent of US households could drive plug-in vehicles with "little or no change" in their driving habits, and that almost 70 percent of US commuters drive fewer than 60 miles per weekday. That would imply that a substantial swath of the country should be comfortable using a car like the Leaf as their daily driver - with first-quarter Leaf sales jumping 46 percent from a year before, more Americans certainly are. Still, the implication here is that EV sales will continue to be on the margins until an automaker steps up battery capabilities to 120 or so miles while keeping the price in the $30,000 range. Think that's a reasonable goal to shoot for?
