1997 Toyota 4Runner
This is a great 4Runner from Sunny Florida. I have owned this for 2 years and it has never let me down, period. These old style SUVs will run forever with the proper care and you will not be disappointed with this one. The underside of this RWD chassis from Japan is like new with no rust or corrosion anywhere.
The finish is Salsa Red, and very good and shiny throughout, though there is some fading on the hood and roof due to exposure to the sun here. However the sides and rear are very clean and shiny with a very presentable finish. This unit has the full SR5 trim with gold exterior emblems. I elected to replace the front bumper, grille and lower valance with brand new Toyota parts when I bought the car. It had a brush guard which was attached and there was some minor wrinkles in the bumper and grille at the time. I only want the best for my vehicles so these were sourced new, not aftermarket! The truck also has the full SR5 fender trim and running boards making it very attractive. I had found that the rear running board trim was missing and I have these parts (you will see missing in the photos) brand new in Toyota boxes. The rear has a 2" receiver hitch and full trailer wiring for light to moderate towing.
I did not like the 15" wheels and obtained a nice set of Michelin 16" tires mounted on 2003 Tundra wheels, and these are in excellent shape as you can see.
Mechanically, the truck needs nothing. I run a diesel repair shop and have never had to stop and fix this car. It starts up and runs great every day. I disassembled the timing belt cover for inspection only to find a new water pump and belt, they are good for another 50,000. I did replace the accessory belts, thermostat, O2 sensor, NGK spark plugs and hoses along with the valve cover and intake manifold gaskets as well as fuel and air filters. The 4 struts had also been replaced recently. I completely serviced the automatic transmission which is operating flawlessly, also replacing 2 universal joints at the time. There was a slight drag on the engine and this was found to be a malfunctioning clutch fan; a new Aisin / Toyota unit has now been installed resulting in less drag and a silent engine. Castrol 5w30 engine oil is used, along with locally available 90 octane non-ethanol gasoline which we have found to perform well in fuel injected engines.
The interior had moderate wear. I removed the carpet and front seats which were very uncomfortable cloth with no support. I then installed two beautiful and comfortable power leather seats from a Mercury Mountaineer. This was difficult as they are quite wider than the OEM seats, but what a difference in comfort! These are treated with Lexol leather conditioner regularly. The carpeted areas have all been recovered in a tan vinyl flooring from Stock Interiors. It is very durable and washable for beaches, boating, pets or whatever you can get into. I have found it to be a very good tradeoff from carpet and it looks good with the leather. I also have a complete rear leather bench from another 4Runner Limited included with the sale. I added a leather console cover / armrest from a Limited also. The OEM radio was not playing CDs and a JVC head unit was installed with full input capabilities for your 1/8 in iPod.
The 4Runner has every option that you could look for. Power windows, seats, tilt / slide sunroof, rear window fully retracts and defrosts and wipes, cruise control and mirrors are all working like new. The AC system was fully resealed , flushed and the drier was replaced; it blows very cold all of the time in and out of traffic.
There is a Ford Powertroke emblem on the driver's door, this is strictly for advertising and will be removed prior to the sale!
Please call me if you have any questions; I will also send additional photos if needed. My wife wants a bigger SUV and I no longer have a use for this one. You will be happy with this fine Toyota! Jeff 941-830-3137

Toyota Aygo, Citro?n C1 to join Peugeot 108 in Geneva
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Just the other day, Peugeot took the wraps off the new 108. But its new city car, like the 107 it replaces, doesn't stand on its own. The 107 was a sister vehicle to not only the Citroën C1 but also the Toyota Aygo. So it should come as little surprise that, while Peugeot was the first to release photos and details on its version, Citroën and Toyota will also be on hand with their own versions when the veils lift on all three at the Geneva Motor Show.
We're expecting the new trio of budget-oriented hatchbacks to bear the fruits of individual efforts to distinguish themselves one from another more than their predecessors, which essentially looked the same save for different badges. But from the teaser image above, we'd venture that the Toyota version will be a further departure from the 108 than the C1 will be.
One way or another we'll have to wait and see, but for now you can view Toyota's teaser clip below, along with the press releases confirming the debut of both in Geneva next month.
Will Toyota lose up to 70% of its workforce in TX relocation?
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Toyota's decision to move its US headquarters from its longtime home in Torrance, CA, to Plano, TX, was one of the biggest stories in the automotive industry this spring. With several months since the announcement, more details about the plan have leaked out. It seems that pulling up stakes could mean an even larger shakeup in the Toyota workforce than first thought.
According to Automotive News, Toyota intends to hang onto around 50 percent of its workforce in the move to the Lone Star State. However, even that figure might be optimistic. According to an unnamed insider speaking to AN, there is a fear the actual number could be closer to 30 percent. For comparison, Nissan retained about 42 percent of its workers in its move from California to Tennessee.
The actual percentage making the move is a mystery because Toyota is still rewriting its job descriptions under a single set of guidelines. The changes affect benefits, bonuses and the reporting structure, according to Automotive News, and employees' reactions could play a big role in who decides to go. According to an unnamed worker speaking to AN, the wait is hurting morale. Some people are even applying at the nearby Honda headquarters.
Production Toyota C-HR to debut in Geneva, has hybrid engine
Fri, Feb 12 2016Toyota now officially confirms earlier reports that the C-HR crossover concept (above) will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The CUV will also be available a European-made hybrid powertrain, but the company won't yet say whether that will be the only engine option. "We are entering the C-segment crossover market with a fantastic product and with a hybrid powertrain from the start," Johan van Zyl, Toyota Motor Europe president and CEO, said. At least for Europe, the company will build the production C-HR at its factory in Turkey. The automaker originally planned the C-HR for the US as a Scion model and even displayed the concept that way at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. However, the brand's demise means the crossover now gets to be a full Toyota product here. The five-door CUV rides on the Toyota New Global Architecture, but test vehicles keep the production version's styling hidden under heavy camouflage. The final vehicle reportedly looks like the concept, though. On this side of the pond, the C-HR will compete against compact crossovers like the Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade.

The vehicle will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Turkey (TMMT) in Sakarya, Turkey, in what marks the first time a hybrid-powered vehicle will be produced in the country. This will be TME's third plant to produce hybrid vehicles in the Europe region, after Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK in Burnaston, Derbyshire (Auris Hybrid and Auris Touring Sport Hybrid) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (Yaris Hybrid). TME also announced that the hybrid engine for the crossover is to be produced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK's engine plant in Deeside, Wales. The production destination for the vehicles will be greater Europe and regions outside Europe. Individual export countries are being considered at this time.
