Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series on 2040-cars
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
For sale is a 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser with all the bells & whistles. There is a reason why these trucks are the preferred vehicle for NATO forces worldwide. At 99,000 miles, it still looks, drives, and feels like a new vehicle. There is not a single squeak or rattle. I purchased this car from my father and hoped to have it for many, many years, but unfortunately it's about 1/2" taller than the frame of the garage door of the house I recently moved to. (Curb height is 74", FYI)
Land Cruisers are legendary because they are the perfect balance of power, comfort, and reliability. My wife describes this truck as "being able to go anywhere you want in your most comfortable piece of living room furniture." Land Cruiser owners tend to become very loyal. If you've driven one, then you understand why, and if you haven't, you owe it to yourself. This is my third Land Cruiser. I used to joke that my 1985 FJ60 would get me anywhere I wanted to go, just not very quickly. This 200 Series will get you anywhere you want to go, and it will get you there as quickly as you want. The 5.7L V8 is a beast. The front and rear brakes have all been serviced in 2013. I've had only one issue since I've owned this truck - a bad wheel bearing - and Toyota paid for 100% of the repair, even though it was outside of the warranty period. In fact, while the wheel bearing was being replaced, I also had the rear brakes serviced and an oil change, and Toyota picked up the tab for that too along with my rental car for no reason other than to make a customer happy. You will not find that kind of service with ANY other car company. You can read more about this truck here: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/30/2011-toyota-land-cruiser-review/ |

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.
