44,874 miles?  Find a 4x4 pickup with those miles for under $5500. 

I am the second owner of this beautiful truck.  What makes her beautiful you ask? Certainly not its paint as that is peeling. Not the inside of the cab either because though it is clean it is about as plain jane as it gets.  And she is missing trim rings around door handles.  But, "so what I said when I bought her." She has really low miles, runs like a friggin' tank, is slightly lifted, bounces like a truck should and gives you power and 4 wheel drive to get you out (or into) the right kind of trouble.  Mom and Dad?  this is the vehicle you want your kid in- not too cool but cool enough for the right guy or gal and it can only fit what  all of 3 teenage kids? (and that would be pretty cramped).  Gets them where they need to go and home safe no matter the weather.  

Working man or lady?maybe you are someone that needs to just get where you are going, throw some crap in the bed and be done with it.  This truck will do it.  

Broke college kid that needs reliable transportation. Yup, fits the bill with room in the back to switch dorm rooms and get you and your stuff to your first job miles away from home.

Me? I am a firefighter who needed something cheap with 4x4 because I can't be late and I certainly can't not show up for work.  I have since moved to an area where I can't afford to park an extra vehicle and I have inherited an SUV that can fit a few more people in it comfortably, but to be honest? I am going to miss this truck.

Newer tires, shocks, brakes, exhaust and muffler. (approx. 10,000 miles on it all).  I added the Yakima rack for canoes. I purchased the truck with the bed liner and it seems in good shape. The original radio- that was just a radio so I did end up a couple of years ago putting in a Sony stereo with IPOD dock and Aux and upgraded to Sony front speakers (wired for rear speakers but I didn't need them so I didn't bother adding.

The pics should show both the good and the bad.  One shows the peeling paint on the hood- this is also occurring on top of cab and just below windows and on wheel wells.  There is some rusting of the undercarriage.  

I am the second owner, purchased the vehicle from an auction.  No accidents, mileage is accurate and I purchased the AutoCheck Vehicle History report which I am willing to provide to interested buyers. The overall score is a 53. Similar vehicles score 23-46. It recently passed VA emissions and safety inspections.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
