1996 Toyota 4runner Sr5 5vzfe 3.4 V6 5 Speed Manual Tan On Tan. Recent Service on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
This posting is for a beige on tan 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. truck has 263,000 miles on it. (miles may go up between now and sale, I do still drive it on a non-regular basis). Good: * fresh timing belt service with water pump, three idler wheels and hydraulic tensioner (OEM belt) * new correct DENSO plugs * newer steering rack (09) * 4WD works great * engine starts up every time, no odd noises or issues. perfect engine * transmission is smooth and quiet. no grinds or issues. * transfer case is good. no issues, noises or odd behavior * the Yokohama Geolandar tires are in great shape and have 75+% tread * the truck gets about 17mpg combined. not bad for what it is. 21-23 highway 14-15 city. * high-end Alpine stereo with iPod plug, upgraded speakers. * power sunroof * power rear hatch glass (whole hatch was replaced last winter with much nicer one from a 98 SR5.) * newer exhaust muffler * 1 1/4 ” reciever hitch w/ powered tail light converter harness (4 pin) * WeatherTech® floor liners in the front. best thing ever for a Minnesota vehicle. they’re great. the things that aren’t perfect: * the rocker panels are pretty rusty * the valve cover gaskets leak a little oil (under a half quart between changes) * one of the two front CV axle boots is starting to age. not cracked yet, but within a couple of years, it’ll need a new boot on it. again, overall it is a GREAT truck. only reason I am selling it is I picked up a 5 speed BMW X5 out of the blue. had that not showed up, I would happily drive this 4runner all day every day. It is not perfect, being an 18 year old Minnesota truck, but all things considered, it is in nice shape and great mechanically. |

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]
Tue, 08 Jan 2013While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.
Toyota Prius sales could come up short in 2013
Sat, 06 Jul 2013A Toyota executive has said that the automaker's hybrid Prius model may not reach its 2013 goal of selling 250,000 units in the US marketplace. Bill Fay, group vice president for Toyota's US sales, told Reuters, "The 240,000 to 250,000 range is kind of where we're settling our sights for the Prius family."
The first-generation Prius, a five-passenger model, was introduced to the States in 2001 (its arrival made it the second mass-produced hybrid, after the two-seat Honda Insight). The second-generation model arrived in 2004, followed by the current third-generation design that arrived for the 2010 model year. The automaker has subsequently added the Prius V, a hatchback wagon (shown above) and the Prius C, a subcompact hatchback. As of March, 2013, cumulative worldwide sales of the Prius had reached 3.67 million units.
Last year, Toyota sold 236,659 Prius models in the US. However, sales of the model have fallen 5.1 percent in the first six months of 2013. In response, the automaker has boosted its marketing for the model, and the promotions are expected to continue through at least July.
Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.
