I am selling my 2010 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, 4x4. I am the original owner of this truck. It is in Excellent working condition. 


There is alot to cover on this truck, so I'm going to start by telling you a bit about myself. I am 31 years old, single, non-smoker, with no children. I am a truck driver by trade...(Peterbilt's, Kenworth's, etc..) I am also a bit of a shade-tree mechanic. Working on, and driving vehicles is my passion, and it is a big part of my life. I have worked on 100's of vehicles in my life, and have owned over a dozen cars and trucks, a dozen motorcycles, and many other motorized toys, boats, snowmobiles, jet-ski's, etc.

I bought this Toyota brand new in 2010. It sat in a garage in Montana for the first year of its life, while I was on the road working. The truck is titled in Montana. The title is clean, and I have it in my hand. I would come home every couple weeks and install various parts I had purchased. It was a project for most of that first year. The idea when I bought the truck was to run a true 35" tire, while keeping the truck -and the center of gravity- as low as possible. Ground clearance without sacrificing handling. I did everything myself except for the front springs, where I needed some help from the dealership. All oil changes, tire rotations, driveshaft lubrication, bumper installations, topper, bedrug, wheels, tires... I have done myself. 

This is not my first truck, but it is without a doubt my best. I love this truck, and it really is the culmination of all my driving experience, wrapped into a package that I believe is one of the toughest, most reliable, and best looking trucks on the road. It does everything well, and really falls short nowhere. It has the speed and handling for Interstate trips, the clearance and 4x4 needed for off-road excursions, the towing/load-hauling capability, reliability... I can go on and on... all I can say is that to me, a professional driver, this is the perfect setup. 

A tough financial situation is forcing the sale of this truck. It's not something I want to do. The truck is in San Diego with me now. It has been here in California for most of its life, after I moved here 2 years ago. It has never been a daily driver. It has been used mostly used for road trips, camping trips, or surfing trips, up and down the west coast, and in the western states. 


Here's what has been added to the truck:

1) $3500 - SnugTop Super Sport Topper, with factory added Yakima roof-rack, ignition-independent LED lighting, Fold-down/sliding front window and a Pro-Lock glass rear door ... which can be locked from both the outside, or inside if you are camping.

2) $2750 - 35x12.50 R20 Toyo M/T Tires, mounted on 20" KMC Rockstar aluminum wheels. (The stock tire/wheel on this truck was  33" on 18"... so it is a minor +2" step up in both wheel size, and tire height... also adding an extra 2" of width, adding ~1" to both the inside and outside of the wheel center. 

3) $300 - ARB/OME Heavy Coil Springs and Nitrogen OME Shocks up front. These were necessary to both support the weight of the front bumper, and to clear the larger tires. They greatly improved the ride, handling, and looks of the truck as well. No dive under braking, and very little sway from side to side. The rear suspension is totally stock, and the truck is perfectly level.

4) $2250 - ARB Deluxe Front Winch Bumper. You can find info on this at ARB's website. They are the best, crash tested, and airbag approved. This bumper weighs over 200 pounds and it is solid steel. Safe to say you will be driving away from most front end collisions. The factory foglight housings are mounted in the bumper and use the factory switch in the cab... all stock... the bulbs are different but I will cover this later under lighting. This bumper has provisions to mount a winch, although I never bothered.

5) $1300 - Expedition One Rear Bumper. This bumper is solid 3/16" steel as well. Very sturdy and safe to say the truck will remain drivable, with minimal damage, after a low to medium speed rear end collision. There are 2 heavy-duty attachment points and lights mounted in the bumper (which I will go over later).

6) $100 - Optima Yellow Deep Cycle Battery. These are the best batteries. Deep Cycle allows you to run it all the way down, and charge it back up many times, without damaging the battery.

7) Installed WeatherTech In-Channel window deflectors above the 4 cab windows. They fit great, work great, look great. No sticky tape, no mess.

8) WeatherTech Floor-mats up front, and a HuskyLiner 1-Piece floor liner across the entire rear floor. These floor mats catch and hold water, sand, and mud. The carpet/flooring underneath is just like new. 

9) Lighting: Sylvannia SilverStar Ultra headlight bulbs for both high and low beams. JDM Yellow fog light bulbs, factory wattage, installed in the factory fog-light housing. 5W ARB orange front parking lights. White LED lighting in camper shell. 4" Truck-Lite LED lights mounted in rear bumper and on with parking lights (these are the best and very bright LED lights like you see on the best of the big 18-wheelers). 

10) Locking gas cap. 

11) Factory Security System has been activated.

12) $200 - LED Lighted and Heated Telescoping Tow Mirrors w/ turn signal indicators. Had the dealer add these premium mirrors during the sale.

13) $500 - BedRug. Padded and carpeted BedRug is installed with hook and loop fasteners. Removable. Marine-Grade carpet. Check the BedRug website for info. Color matches topper and interior.


Here's what has NOT been modified on the truck (some things are best left alone):

Everything under the hood is stock except for the battery. The engine, transmission, transfer case, drivelines, gears, front and rear axles, are all stock. Nothing has ever been touched or worked on. No modifications to the intake, exhaust, rear suspension, body, or frame of the truck. No modifications to the electrical system. The interior is all factory stock except for the floor-mats. There is no window tinting film on the truck of any kind.


Extra Info:

1) Oil has been changed every 5K miles. I used Mobil One full-synthetic 0W-20 (factory spec) and Toyota filters. Tire rotations and driveshaft lubrication with synthetic grease have been done at roughly the same intervals. I have a file on my computer where I keep track of all the maintenance intervals... you will get a copy with the truck. 

2) The stereo has a factory 1/8" jack connector, for playing music from iPods/iPhones or whatever.

3) Everything locks. Factory alarm/key-fob, locking gas-cap, locking rear glass, locking Yakima roof-rack, keyed wheel locks on all 20 lugs... comes with two sets of keys for everything.
 
4) Truck comes with an oil filter wrench/tool in the glove box. You will need it to do oil changes.

5) Factory orange daytime running lights, fog lamps.

6) Cold Weather Package: heavy duty starter, heated mirrors, wiper de-icer.

7) Tow Package: 10,300 lbs., transmission cooler, 4.30 rear end with 10.5" ring gear, 150 Amp upgraded alternator, trans temp gauge, more...



Condition:

This truck is in 100% operational and functional excellent condition. Everything works. Everything has been cleaned, tuned, and adjusted properly. 

This truck is in 90% like new cosmetic condition. It has no major dents or damage of any kind. No door dings. Some minor rock chips... some touched up, some not. The bumpers are black painted steel, and they have been touched up in a few places... either from minor bumps and dings from city parking, or from minor scratches and scrapes with bushes when off-roading... the best thing about steel bumpers is they never need to be replaced, just sanded and sprayed. I like how they look and they give the truck a rugged appearance. The wheels are in great condition.

The brakes are about ~30% worn. They have plenty of life left and are in great condition. 

The tires are in great condition, no leaks or sidewall cuts/blisters. These tires have about 30K miles on them and have plenty of life left. I would say they have a little less than 50% tread remaining. I would expect them to last until around 45-50K miles.

Fluid levels are topped up and nothing leaks. Coolant is bright green. Oil is clear. Brake fluid is clear. Power steering fluid is good. Washer fluid ok. Everything is good.

Price: 
 
KBB for this truck is around for a private party sale. 

The truck was purchased new for $32,510. I have invested somewhere around $10,000 into parts and equipment. 

I am starting the auction at the highest price offered to me by a wholesaler here in San Diego... but I am expecting this truck to sell somewhere around $27,500.


DELIVERY BONUS:

If you live in the western US (West of the Mississippi River), I will deliver this truck for free. Fly out here, check it out, and if you want, I will drive it to your house. Whatever you want to do, we can work it out.


This truck is beautiful and I get people stopping to say "nice truck" or take pictures every time I drive it!

Thanks and good luck with the auction :-)

Vehicles awarded IIHS Top Safety Pick awards skyrockets for 2015 [w/video]

Wed, Dec 24 2014

By practically every measure, passenger vehicles in the US are continuing to get safer. With the year rapidly coming to an end, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is releasing its annual list tallying of the scores for the latest vehicles to see how they compare to last year. Judging by the agency's evaluations, the numbers look quite positive. According to the institute, 71 vehicles earned either the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ rating so far in its testing for 2015. Among the latest winners, there have been 33 TSP+ awards and 38 TSP medalists. That's a healthy increase over the 22 TSP+ and 17 TSP grades in 2014. The figures appear even more impressive when you consider that it keeps getting harder to earn the + designation. In the latest round of testing, a vehicle must offer some form of front crash prevention automatic braking to get the mark. Previously, just a warning to drivers was necessary. This list also illustrates the ways that automakers adapt to new testing procedures. In 2013 there were 117 TSP ratings and 13 TSP+ awards. Then, the IIHS mandated that to be a safety pick, a model had to score Good in the institute's four crash tests, plus a Good or Acceptable in the small overlap front test. That brought a plunge in 2014 to just 17 TSP grades. With the numbers climbing again, companies apparently have deciphered how to perform better. Some brands especially stood out on this year's list. The IIHS praised Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Acura for offering standard front crash prevention systems on some models. Subaru received at least one of the awards for all seven of its models. Toyota also had seven, and the Honda brand did too – though the institute counts the two- and four-door versions of the Civic and Accord separately. Check out the full announcement below and a video about this year's winners. The full list can be viewed, here. Safety gains ground: More vehicles earn top honors from IIHS The number of vehicles earning either of the Institute's two awards has jumped to 71 from 39 this time last year, giving consumers more choices for optimum protection in crashes. The number of winners in the top tier - TOP SAFETY PICK+ - has increased by 11 for 2015, despite a tougher standard for front crash prevention. "This is the third year in a row that we are giving automakers a tougher challenge to meet," says IIHS President Adrian Lund.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
