Those who “know” know that this is a special machine. Manual shifting bliss in a duty grade
off-road vehicle. Late 3rd generation
4Runner, built in Japan, frame-based, cast iron block, cast aluminum heads,
locking differential – and a smooth quiet ride that’s great on highway. Found a older low-miles BMW X5 with manual so
I’m taking one more turn in the 3-pedaled 4wd suv fantasy world.
I drive my cars and motorcycles gingerly and civilly, let them
warm before loading engine, go slow and easy on the shifter to let the synchs
figure it out on their schedule, use synth oil, dodge bumps, blip throttle when
shifting to preserve clutch, brake with foresight, etc. – and it has been babied on highways and flat
city roads and not off-road (ok, I’m embarrassed) . You can feel it - truck starts perfectly,
consumes no oil, idles smoothly, doesn't clunk or rattle over bumps, etc. It is impressive and has been a fantastic
vehicle – it is a survivor. Have
original manuals. It’s fantastic to
drive – no deficits on highway, smooth pedals, tracks straight, no play in
steering. Have original trunk shade, spare,
jack.
My records are spotty due to a disorganized divorce (and owner),
but I have the basics. I bought it in
2004 with 80K miles on it. New clutch
around 120K miles. It recently got new
mass air flow sensor, plug wires/plugs, timing belt, radiator and valve cover
gaskets. Interstate battery with some
tread left. Sunroof never had probs and works
fine in both modes. AC blows cold and
has never had an issue.
Issues you’d see/notice if you came and drove it: Backed into a small/stealthy/solid crepemyrtle tree and received
dent/slight bend in rear bumper and tailgate.
Once had minor collision with a suburban back bumper and received new front
side panels, radiator, bumper, and lights from State Farm (original hood with
its original paint is present and undamaged – car came out looking mucho better
actually). Passenger back quarterpanel
has a dent. Paint is in good shape – car
spent a lot of its time in garage. Tires
are way-past-due Michelins but they don’t vibrate and have been excellent. A couple of small cig burns in seat and floor
carpet but absolutely no cig odor (cracked window and non-recirc make this
possible). Leaks a bit of oil but you
don’t see it on ground – only an odor. This
truck has never required addition of oil between changes. Reverse lights and dome lights
intermittent. Cassette and backlight out
on radio. Electric antenna struggling.
Questions welcome. Good
luck bidding. I hate to sell it.

Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line
Fri, 09 May 2014Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
Toyota struggling in Latin American market, attempting recovery
Fri, 30 Aug 2013With uncertainty in the US and Chinese markets, automakers are scrambling to rev up their efforts in what were traditionally secondary markets. Take Toyota's efforts in Latin America. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal highlights the Japanese brand's push in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Brazil, where it has expanded its operations and installed new executives with a greater range of powers, all in a bid to grab a bigger slice of the ever-growing South American pie.
South America is dominated by General Motors, Fiat and Volkswagen, which maintain a combined 60 percent of the market share - Toyota holds a mere 4.5 percent. The WSJ spoke with Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's boss in Latin America, who said, "We are playing catch up, but we're catching up fast. We now have the resources to give the region the attention it really needs and deserves."
That attention includes an all-new, locally produced small car called the Etios. As bewildering as it seems, Toyota wasn't competing in the low-cost economy car market in South America. With the Etios, which arrived in September of 2012, its sales in the first seven months of 2013 are up 75 percent.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota Prius, V earn IIHS awards, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV approved for V2H
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Toyota Prius and Prius V have earned IIHS 2015 Top Safety Pick+ ratings. The Prius V was singled out for its improved performance in the small overlap crash test. Lexus CT models built after September 2014 were also given the distinguished safety rating. In all, eight vehicles from Toyota and Lexus earned Top Safety Pick+ awards, while four more from Toyota and Scion were named Top Safety Picks. Read more in the press release below. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can now provide power to the home in Japan. The vehicle-to-home capability requires the CHAdeMO quick charging socket and either Mitsubishi's own Smart V2H system, or the EVPower Station or Tsubaki eLINK system. The Outlander PHEV gained vehicle-to-home approval alongside all-electric vehicles because its electric motor doesn't run when used in for this purpose. The system allows owners to power their homes during outages and emergencies, and the Outlander PHEV can also directly power appliances with its 1500W AC100V power feeder. Read more at Green Car Congress. The Electric Vehicle Institute has published an updated "Plug-In Around the EV World" poster. The poster depicts the various connector types used by EVs. It shows the standard AC connectors for the US and Europe, DC and combination connectors for fast charging and, of course, Tesla's own charging connector for the Model S. It also shows the standard plug types used around the world, which are color coded by country on a world map. See the Electric Vehicle Institute's poster here, or read more at Green Car Reports. Toyota Decks the Halls with IIHS 2015 'Top Safety Pick' Awards Eight Toyota and Lexus Models Earn Institute's Highest Top Safety Pick+ Four Toyota and Scion Vehicles Named Top Safety Picks December 23, 2014 TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 23, 2014 - On the 12th day of Christmas, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave to Toyota, 12 awards awarding.
