2005 Toyota Tacoma Base Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Monument, Colorado, United States
|
This Toyota Tacoma is in very good condition. It has 163,000 miles that are mostly highway. I drive 65 miles a day and have changed the oil every 3-5 thousand miles with full synthetic. The body itself is in great condition. There are of course a few very minor dings that come with a 9 year old vehicle. The interior is virtually spotless. The truck runs great with plenty of power and it doesn't burn any oil or smoke at all. The transmission shifts fine as does the transfer case when shifting regularly or on the fly. The rims came off the sport model, so they are 17 inches and not the 16 inch rims that came with this model. The tires are Hancook Dynapros and are less than a year old. The hood scoop is just cosmetic and has no function. I just liked the looks. The shell is a Leer and the inside is fine but the outside has some good scratches and surface cracks. I was quoted $250 to have it repainted. I bought it off a person who had it sitting in his back yard and never used it even when he used a weedeater. But the glass, lock, screens, and hinges are fine. I replaced the rear shocks with heavier duty ones less than 2 years ago, and the interstate battery is a little over a year old. There is a rubber mat on the floor of the bed on top of the standard Toyota Tacoma bedliner. This truck has been my baby. I have painted the brake calipers, added the bug deflectors over the hood and windows, and did a little pin-striping. It has been well taken care of, but due to the miles I drive, I need to sell it before it loses too much value. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. I will help in any local delivery or in meeting a shipper. |

Lexus gets new boss, and he's a designer
Wed, 26 Feb 2014A reshuffle in the uppermost ranks of Lexus could see the Japanese luxury brand further energize its recent focus on design. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota's global design boss, is the new head of Lexus International.
Fukuichi will retain his role as the overall head of design for Toyota, Lexus and Scion, and will assume his new position at the head of Lexus and on its board on April 1 (no fooling). This is going to be an interesting move for fans of design to watch, as Fukuichi has repeatedly been mentioned as a designer that enjoys pushing the edge of the envelope and experimenting. He is, after all, the man responsible for designing the most awesomely odd minivan of the 1990s, the mid-engined, rear-drive Toyota Previa, and more recently, he signed off on the controversial Lexus LF-NX concept, which is said to presage a new production small crossover.
"Regarding changes in design, no one has 100 percent confidence," Fukuichi told Forbes back in January 2013. "No one can really say with pure certainty that, 'In two years, this will sell well.'" As Akio Toyoda continues to demand more assertive, edgier designs, it's that point of view that should make Fukuichi a valuable addition to Lexus, as it continues to challenge the competition from Germany.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.
