      Up for auction is a heavily modified 2010 Toyota Tundra.  I am the only owner this truck has ever had.  I am single and the passenger and rear seats have rarely been used, as can be seen in the pics provided.  The rear seats have been folded and kept out of sunlight the majority of time.  The leather on the driver seat is nearly perfect as well and does not have any tears or sign of wear.  There are no scuffs, scratches, or stains anywhere throughout the interior.  I am a part-time detailer and the exterior has been clay barred 3 times and waxed 4 times in the trucks short lifespan.  The paint is smooth as glass with a mirror finish.  There are the typical light scratches that can be seen up close associated with any vehicle that's been driven, but no dents, deep scratches, or body damage whatsoever.  The truck is my secondary vehicle and I've gone to great lengths to keep it immaculate.  It has never been in an accident, nor has it been serviced for any problems other than an O2 sensor that was replaced. The tires have roughly 75% tread left and I just had the truck aligned this past week.

        The truck puts out over 400 HP and 400 Lbs of torque with the larger gears and Cold Air Intake that have been added.  It's capable of going farther than most factory 4x4's thanks to insane clearance, extra torque, and EXCELLENT gripping from high-quality tires.  You must be social to own this beast!!!  My detailing customer agreed that this truck grabs more attention than his Ferrari F430 Spider.  I was approached by 6 people while taking pics for this ad alone.  I never go anywhere without receiving thumbs-up or being approached with compliments and questions about the truck.  I'm constantly being asked for rides in it by children and adults alike.  

       This was my first truck build.  It was only touched by 2 professionals and no expenses were spared.  Everything was done top-notch by 2 excellent mechanics who are also personal friends.  Unlike buying a vehicle from a dealer or multi-owner, you are bidding on a 1-owner truck that was greatly cared for and whose entire vehicle history can be provided to you.  The only reason this truck is being sold is due to my mother recently needing more financial assistance from me for the time being.  Therefore I am forced to sell my truck with a heavy heart. I will be happy to answer any questions from bidders and provide additional pics as well.  Despite the immaculate care and large fortune sunk into it, the reserve has been set lower than I've seen stock Tundras of the same year sold for on here in recent weeks.  Happy bidding!!!

Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?

Mon, 02 Sep 2013

When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
