Rescue this vehicle! It's in way too nice of shape to stay in Minnesota and rust away!

For sale is a 1995 Toyota 4Runner. This vehicle spent it's entire life between Arizona and North Dakota until last year so it has very little rust. You won't likely find a cleaner one of this era anywhere in the Midwest. This truck is the SR5 V6 (3.0 L) model with a 5 speed manual transmission, power everything including sunroof. Everything works but as with any twenty year old vehicle, it has various cosmetic and a couple of minor mechanical issues. Regarding cosmetic; the drivers seat is torn, there are several small dents throughout the body and small rust spots are beginning to appear but are very minimal. As far a mechanical, the starter should be rebuilt sometime in the near future as it doesn't want to engage every now and then. It's been this way for the year we've owned it and hasn't gotten any worse...should be addressed eventually though. We were told by a local mechanic that the right front wheel bearing requires replacing which is quoted to be a three hundred dollar job. Lastly, the check engine light is currently on but plan to have it scanned prior to sale to see what may be the issue. Besides these few issues, the truck starts, runs and drives like a dream and the 4 wheel drive works flawlessly. The timing belt was changed at 146,000. The rear springs, shocks, and stabilizer bushings, spark plugs/wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor are all new as well as the front cv axles. The tires have deep tread and should be good for many more miles. I would love to hang onto this truck but will be moving to the east coast later this summer and can't justify bringing it out there with us. Let me know of any questions or would like more photos added. If you've spent any time in the western half of our country you'll know these trucks are very sought after due to their reliability, off road abilities and general build quality.

2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.

Suzuki will road-test EVs in India, start production with Toyota in 2020

Fri, Sep 7 2018

NEW DELHI — Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp will start testing prototypes of electric vehicles in India by October, its chairman said on Friday. "We will start road-running tests using a fleet of 50 EV prototype vehicles in India from next month in order to develop safe and easy-to-use EVs for Indian customers," Osamu Suzuki said at the Global Mobility Summit at New Delhi. The company would then launch EVs in India around 2020 in cooperation with Toyota, he added. However, Suzuki said that for EVs to become popular in India, there had to be well-developed charging infrastructure. "In this regard, we look forward to proactive leadership from the Indian government," he said. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a plan to electrify all new vehicles by 2030, a target many experts call ambitious. EVs are expensive due to the high cost of batteries which are still not manufactured in India, and carmakers say a lack of charging stations could make the proposition unviable. Suzuki, parent of India's top-selling automaker, Maruti Suzuki, would start production of lithium-ion batteries for automobiles at its plant in western India from 2020, Suzuki said. India is one of the world's fastest-growing car markets, but EV sales are negligible compared with millions of petrol and diesel cars sold every year. Suzuki said to meet India's environmental challenges, the government would have to look at hybrid and CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles also.Related Video:
