A solid, reliable land cruiser up for sale.

I'll start by explaining the liabilities:

Check engine light came on recently. Needs an O2 sensor.
Sunroof is moving a little slow lately. Could need a new motor soon. But it is still fully operable.
Vehicle is 15 years old, as a result, there are some rock chips in the paint on the hood and some mild paint scratches on the body.
There are some minor door dings on the vehicle. 2 on the drivers door and 1 on the rear drivers side door.
There is a 3" cut on the back side of the middle row seat. It can be seen when you open the rear cargo area, otherwise it's not noticeable.
The low range of gears doesn't engage. It doesn't effect any driving or usability of the vehicle. This would be necessary if you wanted high torque and low speed. I've not looked into the resolution of this as we haven't needed it.
Front wheel bearings need to be repacked soon. I've decided to sell as-is, so this will be the responsibility of the winner of this vehicle. I had it quoted at $400 at a Big O Tires. I'm sure it can be done cheaper as they aren't always the lowest priced shop.

This is a fully loaded cruiser. All the options. V8 power, plows through snow and climbs mountains! Black exterior, and beautiful tan leather. DVD, Navigation, Bluetooth, iPod, Back up camera, power seats, heated seats, power windows, Auto climate control, power locks, seating for 7.

The land cruiser is the flag ship of the Toyota brand. These vehicles go forever, 159k is less than half life, and they hold their value for a loooooooong time! Do some research online to compare prices and value and you'll notice this is priced correctly. It's been driven by my wife with a 20 mile round trip commute daily. We took a road trip this winter with it and wouldn't hesitate to take it cross country.

Be the lucky recipient of this great, plush, attractive vehicle!

Please ask questions if you have them. We are not interested in trades or LOW BALL offers. Shipping will need to be arranged by yourself or picked up locally. We can assist getting it somewhere but we've had vehicles shipped and carriers do door to door service at very reasonable rates.

Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.

Toyota recalls 370k Sienna minivans, 10.5k Lexus GS models over separate issues

Thu, 22 May 2014

The year of the recall continues, but this time it isn't from General Motors. Toyota is announcing two, separate recalls affecting a pair of its models.
First, Toyota is recalling 370,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004 to 2011 model years that are registered or originally sold in cold-weather states. The problem is that the spare tire carrier assembly cable can be splashed by water contaminated with road salt and cause corrosion. There is a splashguard in place to prevent this, but it sometimes gets lost in "normal usage," according to the company. If the cable does break, then "the spare tire may separate from the vehicle."
This is actually the second repair for this problem for some of these vehicles. In 2010, Toyota issued a recall on 600,000 Siennas from the 1998 to 2010 model years. At the time, it installed a new splashguard and sprayed the area with an anti-rust chemical. However, according to Toyota spokesperson John Hanson speaking to Autoblog, the campaign worked for the 1998 to 2003 models but wasn't sufficient for the newer ones. For the latest recall, the vehicles are getting the entire cable replaced with a stainless steel unit and a new splashguard.
