Up for sale is a very nice built up Toyota Tacoma. It is the Xtra cab 2 door TRD off road SR5 with power everything. 68XXX miles on all original equipment. 3.4L V6 and push button 4x4 with electronic rear diff locker.

I designed and built almost $2000 worth of armor (July 2013):
Custom front plate steel winch bumper - herculined and painted black
Custom rear plate steel bumper with hitch - herculined and painted black
Square tube rock sliders - painted black
Steel skid plate - painted grey
I installed:
Tuff Stuff 12500 lb. waterproof winch (July 2013)
Tundra progressive coils and Tundra 5100 adjustable shocks installed up front (3" lift) (June 2013, 63k miles)
New steering rack bushings (May 2013)

Debadged the tailgate and doors.
This tacoma is also equipped with a factory keyless entry system, plus an aftermarket 2-way security system with keyless entry, loud alarm, and remote start. The color lcd screen key fob communicates with the truck and alerts the owner of issues with the vehicle from a distance.
All the fluids have been changed at 60k miles with full synthetics, Amsoil and Mobil 1. Only the best in this truck. $120 of Amsoil synthetic in the transmission, and $70 of Amsoil synthetic gear oil in the drivetrain. The truck has been in the family since new, so I know and have all the maintenance records. There is not a single issue with this truck that needs attention.
Retail is $16500 without all the mods if you bought this from a dealer. You won't find another truck like this in Iowa with no rust at all. These frames are known to rust so I protected it from day 1.
The truck is in Ames, Iowa. Clean and clear title in the palm of my hand.

2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*
Tue, 27 Aug 2013We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
Toyota recalling select 2014 Camry and Avalon models
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Toyota has announced a rather small voluntary recall, affecting 5,650 Avalon and Camry sedans from model year 2014. Both gas and hybrid models are included in the action.
This recall focuses on the left front lower suspension arm, which may have a bad bolt connecting it to the ball joint. If the car hits a big enough pothole - a real concern as we head into winter - or suffers a major impact, the two components could separate, at which point steering control would more or less vanish.
According to Toyota, there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths due to this problem. Toyota is notifying owners, who will need to report to dealers for a free replacement lower suspension arm.
How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota
Thu, 08 May 2014With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
