I've owned this pickup since it was 5 months old and had 8K miles on it. I am an adult and I do/did not "drive it like I stole it".
Miles are going up, as it's my daily driver. I drive a convertible when it's nice out, so if the weather holds out, I'll likely be driving that.
The oil changes (with receipts) have always been done at 4K mile intervals and with a synthetic blend. I take really good care of it and it has taken really good care of me.
I'm just looking for something less "trucky" and more "mid-life crisisy".
The truck has a DJM 3/4 lowering kit on it. I was told that it had no ground clearance problems, and in the 6 years I've owned it, I've found that to be true.
As a matter of fact, it still has more ground clearance than my wife's Subaru Legacy. It's NEVER been an issue and looks 100% better than a stock truck.
I get compliments on it, constantly.
It has (tasteful) 20" wheels on it and comes with snow tires on 16" rims. Snow tires are a little worn, but might have another year on them.
It has a class III hitch I put on it and flat-towed a VW Beetle from Lake Havasu to Spokane a few years back. It does not regularly tow or haul anything.
I've included a picture of the engine for the hell of it. It's in there and has wires and hoses hooked to it, which is nice. I've never touched it other than oil changes.
C/D and A/C were all I needed when I bought it and all I need now. Both work perfectly.
It has a tilting steering column.
It has a few small (SMALL) rock chips on the leading edge of the hood and one scratch by the gas door.
I tried selling it locally a while ago, but was probably asking too much. I had a gentleman look at it and I went through all of the chips and things that I know of. He said I was "insane" and that the truck was the nicest he's looked at and would feel bad using it to work out of.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.

Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case

Sat, 26 Oct 2013

A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."
