      Up for auction is a heavily modified 2010 Toyota Tundra.  I am the only owner this truck has ever had.  I am single and the passenger and rear seats have rarely been used, as can be seen in the pics provided.  The rear seats have been folded and kept out of sunlight the majority of time.  The leather on the driver seat is nearly perfect as well and does not have any tears or sign of wear.  There are no scuffs, scratches, or stains anywhere throughout the interior.  I am a part-time detailer and the exterior has been clay barred 3 times and waxed 4 times in the trucks short lifespan.  The paint is smooth as glass with a mirror finish.  There are the typical light scratches that can be seen up close associated with any vehicle that's been driven, but no dents, deep scratches, or body damage whatsoever.  The truck is my secondary vehicle and I've gone to great lengths to keep it immaculate.  It has never been in an accident, nor has it been serviced for any problems other than an O2 sensor that was replaced. The tires have roughly 75% tread left and I just had the truck aligned this past week.

        The truck puts out over 400 HP and 400 Lbs of torque with the larger gears and Cold Air Intake that have been added.  It's capable of going farther than most factory 4x4's thanks to insane clearance, extra torque, and EXCELLENT gripping from high-quality tires.  You must be social to own this beast!!!  My detailing customer agreed that this truck grabs more attention than his Ferrari F430 Spider.  I was approached by 6 people while taking pics for this ad alone.  I never go anywhere without receiving thumbs-up or being approached with compliments and questions about the truck.  I'm constantly being asked for rides in it by children and adults alike.  

       This was my first truck build.  It was only touched by 2 professionals and no expenses were spared.  Everything was done top-notch by 2 excellent mechanics who are also personal friends.  Unlike buying a vehicle from a dealer or multi-owner, you are bidding on a 1-owner truck that was greatly cared for and whose entire vehicle history can be provided to you.  The only reason this truck is being sold is due to my mother recently needing more financial assistance from me for the time being.  Therefore I am forced to sell my truck with a heavy heart. I will be happy to answer any questions from bidders and provide additional pics as well.  Despite the immaculate care and large fortune sunk into it, the reserve has been set lower than I've seen stock Tundras of the same year sold for on here in recent weeks.  Happy bidding!!!

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.

Dutch Toyota dealer has plans for old Prius batteries as solar backup

Thu, May 1 2014

A Toyota dealer in the Netherlands is looking to the sky for power. The Louwman Hague Toyota dealership has put almost 1,000 solar panels on the roof, and there might be some Prius hybrid batteries involved. Our Dutch isn't as good as it could be and our questions to Toyota in the US haven't turned up any definitive answers, but there is some mention that these solar panels are will someday be feeding power into a bank of Toyota hybrid batteries. The 1,000 panels make up 1,600 square meters, about the size of 4.5 IMAX movie screens, and is the largest in the area. They generate around a quarter of a megawatt of energy [as our readers point out, this is what the translation says, but it doesn't make sense, so we think it might mean a quarter MW of power a day], which is enough to power 80 homes. The excess electricity will go into the battery packs that have (possibly) already been used in a Prius or another of the company's hybrid. There are many examples of automotive batteries being tested as stationary back-up power sources, and maybe this Dutch solution can be used as a guide when Toyota sets up its new US headquarters in sunny Texas.

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.
