PLEASE WATCH THE COMPREHENSIVE WALKAROUND AND TEST DRIVE VIDEO!



I am the original owner of this 2001Toyota Tacoma, double cab, SR5, V6 4 WD with an automatic transmission.  It has 78,769 miles. The truck has never been hit. This truck has always been garaged, even at work. The oil and filter were changed when they replaced the frame. The truck has the following options: trailer tow package, aluminum extend-a-bed, over the rail bedliner, sliding rear window, aluminum alloy wheels, a/c, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, stereo w/cd player.

I bought the truck in January of 2001 and drove it until June 2004 when I retired. It had just about 50,000 miles when I retired and since then I drove it approx. 3,900 miles a year since it now has 78,769 miles.  I also have the original winder sticker, sales brochure and maintenance records. This truck is only for someone who understands the Toyota recall for rusty frames. Again, this truck has never been in an accident. This truck has a new frame, brake lines, leaf spring, lower control arms etc. Toyota replaced many more parts that are detailed in the bill from Toyota.  The bill which I have, details every part that was replaced at their cost.  The bill was $12,661.00, Toyota paid the entire bill.  I'll explain how this came about.  I received a recall notice in September, 2013 for the spare tire carrier. I made an appointment for October. When the dealership inspected the truck they told me that my truck qualified for the frame recall. It wasn't until January, 2014 that they did the job. It is very impressive to look under the truck and see all the brand new metal.  At first I was worried about what kind of job they would do. A very good friend of mine who works for Toyota in Brooklyn, and is a mechanic who he himself replaces the frames, assures me that they replace so many of these frames that they have it down pat and rarely if ever is there a problem. My truck drives fine, no squeaks or rattled.

Once I brought the truck home and parked it in the garage, I only drove it around my neighborhood on nice days to the keep the fluids moving.  I didn't want to subject the new frame to the road salt. Since I don't drive the truck much, I always treated the gas with stabil at each fill up.  I replaced the tires at 62,000 miles with the same tires since I got such good miles out the of the original ones.  The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. The alloy wheels have some pitting that is common. In the first 3 years Toyota replaced the rear bumper twice, apparently there was some kind of plating defect, the current bumper is perfect. Nothing has ever broken on this truck, so other than normal maintenance, which was one either by Toyota or me, it has been trouble free. There isn't any rust on the body, there aren't any oil or fluid leaks at all. I did replace the front rotors, caliper and pads in 2009. There is nothing wrong or broken with this truck. As you know, these trucks are known as being bullet proof. It shifts fine, idles smoothly and the 4wd engages and works perfectly. The interior is pretty much in perfect condition. There aren't any rips, tears, stains etc. I have aftermarket floor mats on top of the factory carpeted ones. The exterior is almost perfect. The top of the drivers fender has a ding so small the camera won't pick it up as are some very minor surface scratches on the driver side rear quarter, they can probably be buffed out. When Toyota put the last bumper on they installed it about 1/8" too high and the bottom of the tailgate touched the black plastic on the top of the bumper and nicked the bottom of the tailgate. I trimmed off the part of the plastic that was touching and it has been fine for at least 10 years.

I am selling my truck because I ordered a 2014 Silverado. Originally I was going to keep the Tacoma, however it doesn't make any sense to keep both.  Whoever buys this truck will be getting an exceptionally clean, well maintained EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE vehicle that very rarely sat outside.

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, 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

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.
