It is a rugged Toyota SUV, with body on frame. While it has a selectable transfercase with 2Hi, 4Hi, and 4Lo settings, 2Hi and 4Hi operate 95% of all normal driving. The 4x4 has been used in mud and sand and snow, but has not been used to do anything extreme like crashing over rocks or against trees. There is no evidence that has done anything other than drive city streets or secondary roads that may have had mud, sand, or snow (or ALL). I am the second owner. The first owner keep good records of maint and general usage. When you look down the line of any side of vehicle, it is obviously very smooth and straight.
It has a receiver hitch and wiring plug for hooking up a trailer
The body glass is perfect, almost no pits (very small) and no cracks.The axles do not leak fluids, and the boots over the front CV shafts are without tears or splits. The tailpipe does not release oil smoke or radiator fluids. It starts easy and has gauges that indicate the antifreeze, oil pressure, voltage are all in desirable ranges. It can get 20-22 mpg on the highway in 2Hi. I had all fluids checked recently and the technition expressed how clean everything is.
We lived at the end of a winding gravel road in all kinds of weather and was never stranded.
It has a factory alarm system. The factory sound system has AM/FM/cassette/CD, all work very well.
It is over 18 years old, with no trouble of head gasket blowing out. It did have a connecting rod bearing go bad that needed replacement. I went to professional contacts and farmed out some machining. The block was mic'd and all bearing points, cylinders, were still inside of factory specs. Rather than have an odd size rod bearing, I ordered all-new, pistons, rings, connecting rods, seals, gaskets, crankshaft, bearings, oil pump, cam belt, and one camshaft that was out of spec. It now has all new injectors, seals and filters. Due to my goof up, I had to buy a new radiator (wasn't watching close enough to prevent a loose fan blade from tearing out fins in the old radiator (to this day kick myself for not doing a nut/bolt count that afternoon). It is a safe SUV that can haul 6 people (if adults be VERY good friends. Kids will do fine)
Inside the car you will note that there are no waterstains from roof or door seals. The doors close solidly without rattles.
.No one has ever smoked in this vehicle.

Toyota Hilux successor spotted
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The midsize truck segment is suddenly seemingly exploding with new vehicles worldwide, even here in North America. Not only will the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon be available very soon, Toyota is already testing a replacement for its aging Tacoma and Honda has promised a Ridgeline replacement within the next 18 months. Also, the recently shown Nissan Navara is said to portend the future of our Frontier. Here's some more fresh evidence from Europe of this pickup boom with the next generation of its venerable Hilux in testing.
Thanks to Top Gear and sometimes the evening news, the Hilux has built a reputation of being able to go just about anywhere. According to out spy shooter, this particular pickup was spotted during hot weather testing in southern Europe. Interestingly, a Volkswagen Amarok was along for the ride as a benchmark. Because the VW tends to offer a bit more comfort than the generally utilitarian Hilux, this could indicate Toyota is considering taking the new truck in a slightly comfier, more refined direction.
Compared to the current model, this camouflaged tester sports a narrower front grille and headlights. The hood scoop is also absent here. The lower air dam also receives a more horizontal look, but the more vertical fog light housings provide some contrast. The crazy camouflage pattern makes things hard to discern at the rear, but the taillights appear to be more slender than they on the current model. Unfortunately, mechanical details about the new truck remain a mystery at the moment, but enjoy these spy shots as a preview of one more upcoming pickup.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
