1993 TOYOTA SR5 4X4 PICKUP (pre TACOMA, Ebay does not recognize this)
Very hard to find this vintage in this condition.  One owner, 0 accident, low 142K miles (that's an average of just 7K per year), original paint, unmodified, very straight, very clean.  Pics are not photoshoped other than license plate blur. 
Very well equipped SR5 model has upgraded trim and wheels, power windows, power mirrors, sun roof and such. Truck has been well cared for, and not abused. The perfect interior is all the indication of caring owner.
All, what would be considered normal, repairs for its age have just been done.
   If you know the history of these Toyota trucks then you know the early ones built in Japan are considered to be superior to those built in US or Canada. However they were not free of all problems. Although far less rust issues with body and frame than the others that followed, they are not immune. This is a shining example of a true survivor. The body is rust free. The frame has had surface rust in typical areas and addressed by cleaning, and protecting with POR 15 incapsulating rust proofing throughout.  The lower control arms were showing the worst, so they were replaced along with the uppers with new. Doing so warranted replacing all the ball joints, and bushings, even though they were not showing wear.  I'd say the front end is now rebuilt to new.     
  List of other recent work and new parts making truck ready for another 23 years of service (all work completed in the last two weeks). If it was in question it was simply replaced with NEW!. I don't believe in bandaids to buy time.
*  full tune up (normal stuff -plugs, wires, cap, all filters, all fluids, etc...)
*  valve cover gaskets
*  all brake lines front to back
*  all fuel lines 
*  fuel pump assembly
*  fuel tank
*  front brake calipers, pads and rotors 
*  rear brake drums 
*  all shocks
*  timing belt with water pump 
*  hard trans cooler line set
*  radiator
*  trans filter, fluid and pan gasket
*  front and rear chrome bumpers (originals were rusting but very straight)
*  fog lights
*  front alignment
*  Perrelli all-season tires
*  alloy rims (originals are included in sale with used tires at 30% remaining tread life)
*  master brake cylinder  
*  AC converted to and charged with new type
*  muffler and tailpipe 
*  several other unmentionables
 
As you can see, I've spent a few dollars on this truck.  I avoid adding it all up because it will only make me depressed.  The only number(s) that matter(s) is what its worth $$$ to you! (true of any car for sale) My loss your gain.  My situation and needs for this truck have changed so I'm listing it.  This truck is legit. You will not be disappointed. 
It's still a 23 year old vehicle, so it's NOT PERFECT, There are imperfections, so please be realistic.  But it is GREAT.   PICS SAY IT ALL!

Only because I HAVE TO SAY IT!  Sold As-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I am not a dealer.  Must be paid in full before taking it anywhere.  Clean title in hand. I will try and answer any questions through Ebay messages in a timely manor.  I will not disclose my reserve. I will gladly deal with serious buyers and consider serious offers. If I feel you are not serious you will be ignored. I reserve the right to end this auction if reserve has not been met at any time. I will not waste your time if you don't waste mine. If your funds are not ready and avail, please don't bid!
All that said. Good luck.

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.

Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership

Mon, May 11 2015

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.
