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 :-)

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
