You are looking at a 1987 Toyota pickup, 4wd short bed, and probably the most original, low mileage truck left out there. Sorry, couldn't find a listing for these trucks, so I had to list it as a Tacoma. Below is a brief description.

Exterior: This truck mainly appears to be all original, right down to the paint. I can't see anywhere that it has had paint work or any kind of accident, shine is just gone on the top surfaces. Even has the original stripes on the sides. Front bumper is some kind of aftermarket with a Ramsey winch, has a matching camper top, and aluminum wheels, that's all I can see that is not factory. Have no idea if winch works, but it's all there. She has the typical rust in the driver's bedside where the lower panels meet up, and a small spot on the passenger's. Front fenders have holes above tires, I can buy these for $80 a piece c.a.p.a certified aftermarket if the new owner wants them and I also can get the lower side pieces even cheaper. Frame is solid in all the places they rot. Doors, rockers, cab corners, floors, pretty much everything else on the truck seems to be very dry, rust free, and not beat up or abused. Inside of the bed has a liner, pulling it up, seems like it's been in there since new. Floor is nice, just scratched from liner. Tailgate is in amazing shape, rear chrome bumper looks nice as well.

Interior: The gray insides are original also, and in super condition to be almost 30 years old. Headliner is not sagging and is clean. Seat is cloth and not worn or ripped at all. Door panels are not peeling up or trashed and still look new. Dash has some sun cracks, other than that,  it's good to go. Carpet needs a good cleaning. Very nice in my opinion.

Drivetrain: Everyone knows how popular these 4wd trucks have always been, especially with the 2200r engine and a 5 speed tranny. This one runs exactly like it should with only 87,000 original miles. When I got it, it had been sitting for years. I had it looked over by my local mechanic,  made sure all the 4wd stuff worked as it should, so all it needed that he could see was to be tuned up, put a brand new clutch in it, as well as a radiator. There is no drips or spots on my driveway from leaks, engine looks good and dry. Almost new Goodyear Wrangler 235/75/15 tires on aluminum wheels. Sorry guys, no a/c, but the heat is toasty. 

In closing, you will be hard pressed to find one of these trucks with this kind of mileage, for this reserve price, and in this condition. Attention: I HAVE NOT CLEANED A THING ON THIS TRUCK. I want the new owner to see it in it's original condition the way I recieved it. This way nothing is hidden or doctored up in an attempt to deceive bidders. Please check my feedback before bidding, I pride myself on describing my vehicles accurately and everyone always seems to be happy. With that said, don't assume anything, ask me any questions you may have about it and you'll get a truthful answer. I just, this week, paid the mechanic over $800 for all the work done to ensure no problems to the new owner. Also be advised, almost all my auctions end early with a serious offer, so don't wait until the end if you really want one of my vehicles. If you have a feedback score of 10 or less, or a negative score, please contact me before bidding or it will be canceled. These ads are expensive and I have had problems lately with non payers and slow payers. Thanks for your understanding and for taking a look at my auctions, don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns. Take care and good luck.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.

Toyota will roll out solid-state battery EVs globally in a couple of years

Thu, Jan 11 2024

GANDHINAGAR, India — Japan's Toyota Motor will in a couple of years globally launch vehicles with solid-state batteries that charge faster and last longer, an executive said on Thursday at an investment summit in India. Solid-state batteries promise to dramatically improve the driving range of electric vehicles (EVs), a key element of a strategic pivot Toyota unveiled in June to make up ground lost to Tesla and Chinese rivals, such as BYD, in the EV race. Last year, Toyota and oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan said they would tie up to develop and mass produce all-solid-state batteries, which they aim to commercialize in 2027 and 2028, followed by full-scale mass production. "We will be rolling out our electric vehicles with solid state batteries in a couple of years from now," said Vikram Gulati, the India head of Toyota Kirloskar Motor. It "will be a vehicle which will be charging in 10 minutes, giving a range of 1,200 kms (750 miles) and life expectancy will be very good". Gulati was speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit where one focus of the Indian government is attracting more investments to scale up EV manufacturing capacity in the world's third largest auto market. At the start of the summit on Wednesday, Japan's Suzuki Motor said its Indian subsidiary and Toyota partner Maruti Suzuki would export the group's first battery EV to Japan and Europe — marking the first time for Maruti to export to its parent company's home country. Electric models made up around 2% of India's car sales last year, but the government is targeting 30% by 2030 and India's road transport minister said at the summit he sees annual EV sales in India reaching 10 million vehicles by 2030. On Toyota's plans for solid-state batteries in India, Gulati said the carmaker had various sustainable technology options that would differ based on the country, market and customer preferences. "Right now, for India, flex fuel and ethanol can be a no-brainer right away," he added India's trade department has backed lowering taxes on hybrid vehicles to help the transition to cleaner energy sources, following demands by Japanese carmakers, Reuters has reported. Gulati said the Indian government should consider a carbon-based tax structure for cars, which would make it technologically agnostic and more equitable.  Green Lexus Suzuki Toyota Electric
