2003 Toyota 4runner Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Auburn, New Hampshire, United States
|
This listing is for a 2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD with a V8 engine and 111,xxx miles. I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in 2005 when it had 32K miles and I've never had an issue with it. I've always used Mobil One synthetic oil and it just had an oil change a couple hundred miles ago. At 95K miles, I had Ron's Toy Shop in Manchester NH do the timing belt service as well as change out the transmission fluid with synthetic. The truck has new front and rear brake pads and a new battery. It also has two sets of tires and rims. I bought a set of premium winter snow tires and put them on the stock rims (not shown but included) and then I bought a new set of premium rims and summer tires. To be fair and honest, it does not need the snow tires, but I have three young kids and the cost of snow tires to guarantee I never have an issue is far less than anything I would pay if something did happen.
Why am I selling it? I'm selling because we have 3 kids, all under age 8, and needed a vehicle with a third row for more spacing. As for additional options, it comes with the JBL sound system upgrade and 6 disc in dash changer with 2 sets of headphones, moon roof, and tow package which is a heavy duty transmission cooler, upgraded transmission and rear receiver with electrical connection. The headphones can be used so people in the back seat can listen to a different audio source than those in the front. There is a remote control that switches that and it's included. This is a fully loaded 4-Runner Limited. This truck has incredible towing power and comes with a locking rear differential. We live on the side of a hill with a steep driveway and in the winter I have had friends come over for a visit and be unable to get up our hill. I have use a heavy duty tie down strap to tow up a VW passat, a Chrysler minivan and a Ford F150 2wd truck. The F150 I did with the summer tires as I hadn't swapped them over yet. The V8 actually gets the same gas mileage as the V6, and since I have owned it I have averaged over 19mpg. In fact, in the three months since I changed the battery I've averaged 20mpg, which can be seen in the picture of the center console. It's rated to get 15-19, but I have always been on the high side and this is not a highway vehicle for us, it's a people mover. What's wrong with it? Nothing mechanically. The drivers side rear door has some surface scratches from when I once went though an older style car wash and the swishing scrubber things lift tiny scratches that could probably be buffed out. There is a small spot of beginning rust on the rear tailgate to the right of the license plate. Lastly there is a small tear in the drivers side leather seat from getting in and out of the vehicle. The floor mats have done there job and kept the main carpet looking very good, but they are 10 years old and look it. I did not shampoo them or anything so it's possible they could look better. The summer tires have roughly 50% tread left and the winter tires have 80-90% tread left so you won't be needing to buy new tires any time soon. Lastly, the vehicle report states it was in an accident, "collision with a pedestrian," but I was not. I got into an argument with someone in a parking lot and after I left the man called the police and said I backed up into him. I was issued a ticket for unsafe backing which I fought and won, and didn't realize they also put an accident on my record until this listing. I will see if I can have that removed since I was not found guilty. If you factor in the extra set of tires, roughly a $1,200 value, it should offset any of the minor defects I mentioned above. I think this is priced to sell quickly. If you have a local mechanic I'm fine with having the truck brought down there at your expense. If you don't have a good local mechanic, I would suggest Ron's Toy Shop, they are the best Toyota mechanic in the southern NH region in my opinion. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Japan supports hydrogen, Fools against fuel cells, BlueIndy controversy
Wed, Jun 25 2014Japan hopes to expand the use of hydrogen energy by subsidizing fuel cell vehicles, according to The Japan News. The trade ministry plans to include the subsidies in its 2015 budget to coincide with the expected launch of Toyota's Fuel Cell Vehicle and the Honda FCEV hydrogen car. By jump-starting purchases of hydrogen cars, Japan hopes that innovation and mass-production will get a boost and the cost of fuel cell vehicles will be competitive with gasoline-powered models by the year 2025. Japan plans to have 100 hydrogen fueling locations operating by March 2016, and wants to halve the cost of building those stations by 2020. The amount of the subsidies has not yet been set. Investing website The Motley Fool isn't quite as optimistic as Japan about hydrogen cars, and is instead bullish about Tesla Motors. The Fool points to Tesla's strong stock performance, and predicts future growth will come from more car models in the future - starting with the Model X - as well as the company's proposed Gigafactory for manufacturing batteries. If Tesla's charging technology continues to catch on, that only improves its financial prospects. The article has some harsh words, however, for hydrogen: "Fuel cells are an inferior automotive technology and for fundamental efficiency, cost, and infrastructure reasons always will be mere compliance gimmicks." Yeesh. As part of a program to build charging stations for the Indianapolis EV carsharing service BlueIndy, utility company Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL) wants to raise its electricity rates an average of 44 cents a month per residential customer to help pay for its share of the project. State consumer advocacy agency Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor and consumer watchdog group Citizens Action Coalition oppose the plan, according to Greenfield, Indiana's Daily Reporter. The BlueIndy program, which is a partnership between the city of Indianapolis and battery manufacturer Bollore Group, will provide up to 500 cars for rent at 25 charging sites around the city. Those who oppose the rate hike call IPL a monopoly and say the amount of the increase is not allowed under state law and that the program wouldn't benefit working class and low-income citizens. A hearing regarding IPL's proposal is scheduled for July 23. A Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will run the 2014 Asia Cross Country Rally, Hybrid Cars reports. The rally covers 1,367 miles of woods, swamps and mountains from Thailand to Cambodia.
New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.
Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
