CLASSIC TOYOTA 4 RUNNER 
ORIGINAL SURVIVOR

If you're a fan of the first generation Toyota 4 Runner, than this should grab your attention.  I always thought these were neat vehicles, and for years when I saw them locally for sale...I'd go take a look.  But I always ended up disappointed, as most were messed with, modified or just plain rusty and beat up!  I recently found this truck here in Texas.  The man had bought it from a man claiming it stopped running in 2006.  The thought was fuel pump and there was a brand new in the box fuel pump on the floor when I bought it.

Upon going to install it...I found the old fuel had gone way bad.   So I pulled the tank, had it professionally cleaned, installed the fuel pump and she fired right up after some cranking. I have driven the truck and it runs pretty damn good for sitting for seven years.  The transmission shifts very smooth and the brakes stop good.  The steering is not all sloppy either.  The body is extremely nice and absolutely no rust through.  The paint is fair but original.  The wheels are still original.

The back top is removable and there is a factory roll bar.  The truck came with a V6, Automatic with Four Wheel Drive, AC, (not currently blowing cold)  Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Sun Roof, Cruise Control and it has leather seats.

The truck has 148,000 original miles which for 1989 is super low.  Inside the truck is fair...the dash has cracks and I have ordered a new dash mat that will look much better.  The factory radio it gone too.  Most the electronics work, the passenger and rear window are not powering down at the moment.  

The engine has good oil pressure and does not over heat!   What you see is what you get.  You could likely fly down and drive her home.  If you have questions...please call Houston Wills at 210-548-1310  Many Thanks!!!

2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
