Great Toyota Truck 4-banger w/ manual transmission for sale. This truck was a desert truck brought to the coast about one year ago, so rust free body. It is lots of fun around town and will go highway speeds with great gas mileage. The truck body is straight and sound, dent free, and the engine was replaced (or rebuilt) and has many new parts. Bought from previous owner who needed an automatic for his wife, now I need to upgrade for a larger vehicle. Runs, drives, and looks great considering its age. 

NO RESERVE!
(see similar from $2250-$4750)

Year: 1988
Model: short-bed pick-up; 4 cylinder
Transmission: manual, 2wd
Engine: the incredible 22r!
Tires: oversized with lots of tread

GOOD: replaced original bench seat with two racing bucket seats in great condition (bench seat also included); two new speakers and brand new stereo head unit with USB and AUX; clutch is smooth and never gives any problems; gears all work great; starts and runs every time (occasionally needs two or three early morning turns of the key after sitting); new tailgate net (metal gate and hardware included- gate came off later model but works); new rear taillights; brand new windshield wipers; NO leaks or oil burn; recent black bed liner; recent body spray gray (not perfect but looks good); recent interior black liner spray; new rubber mats. All around good reliable vehicle! These are undoubtedly the most reliable trucks ever built and will last forever (look online at reviews or just look around the streets and you'll see they are still everywhere because they run forever). Passed smog no problem 3 months ago- if sold to CA resident will come with new smog certificate. 

NOT AS GOOD: just light wear and tear considering a 25 year old truck. Odometer is incorrect, a previous owner replaced engine and/or engine rebuild- he reported around 145,000 miles on engine since then. This model has air-conditioner which turns on but needs repair. Not a power steering model, but good alignment. Random increases in temperature- only happens some days- I believe it needs either a new thermostat or coolant bleed as it has a new radiator (common issue) but I'm not a mechanic and don't know for sure. 

All around great condition old truck that runs great. Would love to keep as a second toy but have a motorcycle and just purchased new vehicle for commute to work. This toy must go. 

Also listed locally. 

Please email any questions. Sold "as is". Take to a local mechanic if you want professional review BEFORE buying only.
(Auto check rates low based on high mileage on body, even though lower mileage engine, and I don't know about the 'minor incident' as this truck has no evidence of any accident.)

Toyota nudges US sales projections up to 2.25M

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Spongebob Squarepants Toyota Highlander gets Tanked in Vegas

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

In 2006, I bought a Scion xB (the super upright, first-generation one), and I always had this wild dream of turning the xBox into an aquarium after it had run its course in my personal test fleet. Long story short, that never happened. But apparently the folks at Toyota got wind of my idea - only, well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Let's just start at the beginning here. This is a 2014 Toyota Highlander - you know, the redesigned one that bowed in New York earlier this year. I haven't driven it yet, but I'm sure it's plenty nice and will appeal to all sorts of families. Families with kids. Kids who like cartoons. Cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants.
Which brings me to our next talking point: the collaboration between Toyota and Nickelodeon for the Spongebob-themed wrap that covers every inch of this Highlander. This isn't the first time we've seen the yellow cartoon sponge on a Highlander - Toyota unveiled a differently wrapped version earlier this year - but this one features more of an aquatic, under-the-sea sort of theme. Perfect, considering the main point of this crossover's reason for being at SEMA.
