Okay so heres a real sweet opportunity for a buyer that knows what is here. This is a 1997 Toyota Tacoma Automatic with only 68k miles on the 2.4L I4 that is all original. 
I'll tell the story of how this came about. Originally from upstate New York, it was an old mans truck that he bought brand new in 1997, It was driven once or twice a week when his daughter or son came to visit. The rest of the time the truck was garaged. So until 2010 this continued until he passed, his family then sold this tacoma to my father with 17k original miles on it. This is when the exhaust, brakes, tires, cap, rotor, wires, battery, shocks, struts, timing belt checked, timing tuned, tranny fluid changed, and a general tune up was performed by a professional shop. December 2011 my father sold me the truck and I had plugs, wires, cap, and rotor done again because we are particular with performance and maintenance. 


Since then I have had 16" Rage wheels put on with a 55 profile Yoko Avid tires (65% tread on all four) rather than the stock 15" with 65 tires to help handling by discount tire in Katy, Texas (where my father lives now). Also the stereo deck has been replaced with a pioneer deck with an auxiliary input and the door speakers have been replaced with Kenwoods that made the stereo sound much better than the stock setup. other than that it is stock. the Leer riser Camper cap was purchased new from the Leer headquarters in PA and color matched in 2010.

The body and undercarriage has not been sprayed and has no rust at all. This isn't to say there aren't a amount of small scratches consistent with the age of this truck. The worst of the body is a dent in the rear right down by the bumper (pictured). Most of the scratches have been touched up. I try to describe everything 100% as not to mislead or misrepresent, more pictures upon request.
Oil has been changed religiously at least every three thousand miles along with the oil and air filter.
Most of the mileage since 2010 has been highway (from NY to TX thrice, NY to AZ thrice) plus various other road trips.

A new bolt-in bed liner was installed in 2010 and is in great shape.
The camper shell has had some interior work done to make camping very convenient, a three piece deck that pulls out at bed level and a tent conversion for the back (pictured). none of this gets in the way of original functionality and can be easily removed if desired.

There is 35% tint installed on the side windows and a 5" visor on the windshield.
A power inverter has been installed under the passenger side seat Husky 450 Watts 2 plugs.

The interior is very clean and never smoked in. (I worked at a carwash and detail shop, the the truck has been washed and cleaned inside every week since 2010) as well as a clay bar treatment, correction cream, and hand wax, 2 months ago.

The original steel wheels and metal hubcaps are also included with two studded snow tires mounted that only have one season on them (about 95% tread).

A/C blows freezing, heats great too.

I would be happy to have a mechanic of your choice look at the truck if you set it up.

Anyone who knows these trucks and the 2.4 I4 in them knows that with regular maintenance they will run like new until 300k easy.
The reason for my selling this truck is that I want an Small SUV or wagon (more seats)

I am open to very limited trades, strictly, 2004-2008 subaru forester xt, legacy gt wagon, outback gt wagon, under 125k, 5speed. that's it.

If you are interested please call me for more information or to come look at it. The truck is located in Flagstaff. My number is 518-956-4676 and the name is Dillon. Feel free to contact me for anything regarding the truck.

The truck is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Pickup required. I may deliver pretty much anywhere in the country if gas is paid, contact me prior to auction end for more information. $500 deposit required at auction end, full payment required at pickup/drop off or prior on paypal, or 5 days whichever comes first.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Getting a new car is an amazing experience. The fresh new scent, the barely touched interior, the double digit miles on your odometer, and... the depreciation once it leaves the car dealers lot?

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
