2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Dorado Gold Pearl over Taupe leather interior. This version has the 4.7L V8, 5 speed automatic transmission, and rear wheel drive. Currently has about 146,000 miles but looks and drives great.


If you are looking for a 4runner then you probably already know what amazingly capable and dependable vehicles they are. If you are looking for a SUV and aren’t looking for a 4runner, you should be. Check some classified listings to see how many miles these trucks will go for and still hold their value.


This is why you want one with a V8: Incredible motor that was designed to serve in both trucks and luxury sedans so you get power, reliability, and refinement. The V6 version doesn’t save you much in MPG and won’t have the kind of power on demand that this does.


This is why you want a 2005: V6 models get upgraded from a 4 speed transmission to a 5 speed version. The V8 got a 35 horsepower boost to 270 HP / 320 lb/ft with no sacrifice in fuel economy thanks to variable valve timing.


This is why you want a Limited edition: You get these standard features not on SR5 models: Leather interior with 8-way power driver’s seat and 4-way power passenger seat, sunroof, 120V power inverter, upgraded instrument cluster illumination, heated front seats, dual zone climate control, auto on/off headlights, JBL Synthesis premium sound system with 6-disc in-dash CD/MP3 player, silver and granite interior trim with leather trimmed shift knob, and double-decker cargo shelf system.


This is why you want this one: We purchased it from the original owner in 2008. She drove up and down I-75 delivering brochures and her husband owns an auto shop so the car had highway miles and was maintained properly. A search of Toyota’s service records shows the replacement of the power lumbar motor as the only non-routine item in the first 100K miles. Since purchasing, we have kept up on the maintenance with regular Mobil 1 oil changes and other items as needed. We had the timing belt replaced and it isn’t required again until 180K miles. This has been a great truck that served us well but we are looking at getting either a 4WD version of this or it’s fancy cousin, the Lexus GX470. The car has no drivability issues and everything works as it should. There is the usual wear and tear associated with a vehicle of this age; some rock chips, a small scratch on the rear bumper, and some fading on a couple of the plastic fender flares. The only disappointment in the car is the cracked dashboard. Apparently Toyota hasn’t figured out how to make one that stands up to the heat as I’ve seen it on most of the other Lexus / 4Runners that we’ve been shopping for. Front tires are getting worn but can be worked into the deal. The car is being driven daily so mileage will increase. 


$500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of purchase. I shouldn't have to put pages of legal disclaimer here: if you make an offer and it is accepted, you are expected to buy the car and I'm expected to sell it to you. Have your inspections or financing completed first. I am happy to assist with shipping or inspections but this must be arranged before purchase. I'm also happy to take more pictures of any specific areas so you know exactly what you are getting.

Toyota's Bob Carter says seat heater stop-sale due to inconsequential compliance error

Sat, Feb 8 2014

Last week, Toyota let it be known that a number of its more-popular vehicles were subject to a "stop-sale" order due to faulty seat heaters on these vehicles. No injuries were reported, but the problem affected a lot of models, including the 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Sienna, Corolla, Tacoma and Tundra. Toyota originally said 50,000 vehicles were involved, but Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota Motor Sales, knocked that down to 30,000 during an interview at the Chicago Auto Show this week and said that the problem is not going to have a big impact on Toyota's sales. "It's an important situation but it will have a very minor impact on February sales," he told AutoblogGreen. "Dealers will start receiving new heating elements this week and then we have a process to take out the heating element that was put in and exchange that for the new fabric. It's very simple. It's a quick repair." Quick in this situation means about three hours to swap out the heating elements in two seats, according to Toyota's John Hanson. Since the Avalon also has heated rear seats, that car will require a total of six hours in the shop. Hanson said there was no official timeline for when the exchange program would be completed, "but new vehicles are arriving at some dealerships with the new seat heaters already installed." With a fix already in place, Carter would not comment on whether a recall is likely, saying only, "I'm not the expert on that. We're working with the NHTSA and ultimately it's their decision. We believe it's an inconsequential compliance error that was made by one of our suppliers and we're going to correct it."

2014 Toyota Highlander

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."

Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
