PLEASE WATCH THE COMPREHENSIVE WALKAROUND AND TEST DRIVE VIDEO!



I am the original owner of this 2001Toyota Tacoma, double cab, SR5, V6 4 WD with an automatic transmission.  It has 78,769 miles. The truck has never been hit. This truck has always been garaged, even at work. The oil and filter were changed when they replaced the frame. The truck has the following options: trailer tow package, aluminum extend-a-bed, over the rail bedliner, sliding rear window, aluminum alloy wheels, a/c, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, stereo w/cd player.

I bought the truck in January of 2001 and drove it until June 2004 when I retired. It had just about 50,000 miles when I retired and since then I drove it approx. 3,900 miles a year since it now has 78,769 miles.  I also have the original winder sticker, sales brochure and maintenance records. This truck is only for someone who understands the Toyota recall for rusty frames. Again, this truck has never been in an accident. This truck has a new frame, brake lines, leaf spring, lower control arms etc. Toyota replaced many more parts that are detailed in the bill from Toyota.  The bill which I have, details every part that was replaced at their cost.  The bill was $12,661.00, Toyota paid the entire bill.  I'll explain how this came about.  I received a recall notice in September, 2013 for the spare tire carrier. I made an appointment for October. When the dealership inspected the truck they told me that my truck qualified for the frame recall. It wasn't until January, 2014 that they did the job. It is very impressive to look under the truck and see all the brand new metal.  At first I was worried about what kind of job they would do. A very good friend of mine who works for Toyota in Brooklyn, and is a mechanic who he himself replaces the frames, assures me that they replace so many of these frames that they have it down pat and rarely if ever is there a problem. My truck drives fine, no squeaks or rattled.

Once I brought the truck home and parked it in the garage, I only drove it around my neighborhood on nice days to the keep the fluids moving.  I didn't want to subject the new frame to the road salt. Since I don't drive the truck much, I always treated the gas with stabil at each fill up.  I replaced the tires at 62,000 miles with the same tires since I got such good miles out the of the original ones.  The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. The alloy wheels have some pitting that is common. In the first 3 years Toyota replaced the rear bumper twice, apparently there was some kind of plating defect, the current bumper is perfect. Nothing has ever broken on this truck, so other than normal maintenance, which was one either by Toyota or me, it has been trouble free. There isn't any rust on the body, there aren't any oil or fluid leaks at all. I did replace the front rotors, caliper and pads in 2009. There is nothing wrong or broken with this truck. As you know, these trucks are known as being bullet proof. It shifts fine, idles smoothly and the 4wd engages and works perfectly. The interior is pretty much in perfect condition. There aren't any rips, tears, stains etc. I have aftermarket floor mats on top of the factory carpeted ones. The exterior is almost perfect. The top of the drivers fender has a ding so small the camera won't pick it up as are some very minor surface scratches on the driver side rear quarter, they can probably be buffed out. When Toyota put the last bumper on they installed it about 1/8" too high and the bottom of the tailgate touched the black plastic on the top of the bumper and nicked the bottom of the tailgate. I trimmed off the part of the plastic that was touching and it has been fine for at least 10 years.

I am selling my truck because I ordered a 2014 Silverado. Originally I was going to keep the Tacoma, however it doesn't make any sense to keep both.  Whoever buys this truck will be getting an exceptionally clean, well maintained EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE vehicle that very rarely sat outside.

Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

GM, Ford, Honda winners in 'Car Wars' study as industry growth continues

Wed, May 11 2016

General Motors' plans to aggressively refresh its product lineup will pay off in the next four years with strong market share and sales, according to an influential report released Tuesday. Ford, Honda, and FCA are all poised to show similar gains as the auto industry is expected to remain healthy through the rest of the decade. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch study, called Car Wars, analyzes automakers' future product plans for the next four model years. By 2020, 88 percent of GM's sales will come from newly launched products, which puts it slightly ahead of Ford's 86-percent estimate. Honda (85 percent) and FCA (84 percent) follow. The industry average is 81 percent. Toyota checks in just below the industry average at 79 percent, with Nissan trailing at 76 percent. Car Wars' premise is: automakers that continually launch new products are in a better position to grow sales and market share, while companies that roll out lightly updated models are vulnerable to shifting consumer tastes. Though Detroit and Honda grade out well in the study, many major automakers are clumped together, which means large market-share swings are less likely in the coming years. Bank of America Merrill Lynch predicts the industry will top out with 20 million sales in 2018 and then taper off, perhaps as much as 30 percent by 2026. Not surprisingly, trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers will be the key battlefield in the next few years, Car Wars says. FCA will launch a critical salvo in 2018 with a new Ram 1500, followed by new generations of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra in 2019, and then Ford's F-150 for 2020, according to the study. Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy said the GM trucks could be pulled ahead even earlier to 2018, prompting Ford to respond. "This focus on crossovers and trucks is a great thing for the industry," Murphy said. Cars Wars looks at Korean (76 percent replacement rate) and European companies more vaguely (70 percent), but argues their slower product cadence and lineups with fewer trucks puts them in weaker positions than their competitors through 2020.
