This listing is for my 1996 Toyota Tacoma. I am the original owner of this vehicle. It has 145k miles on it. It is currently in great working order.

It's never been in an accident, and the mechanical repairs over the years have been minimal. It's been dinged a few times in a parking lot a few times over the years, but nothing major.

I am selling it because I do not drive it much anymore, as I typically take my car to work. It has been primarily driven in Utah where I used to live. In 2010, I moved to Kansas where I currently live. Since that time, it hasn't been driven much other than to take it around the neighborhood or to drive it to the hardware store. In fact it hasn't been registered in Kansas even though I've lived here for almost 4 years. Shortly after we moved here, I purchased a car and have primarily driven it to and fro. Since I didn't drive it much, I never bothered to get it registered here in Kansas.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I will attempt to list everything that has happened to this truck since it was new: I have had the fuel pump replaced a couple of times - once in 2003, and again in 2007, as well as had the starter rebuilt about 10 yrs ago. But other than than, there has been no other needed mechanical repairs other than basic maintenance (tires, battery replacement, spark plugs, fluid replacement, etc.) There is a dent on the side of the bed on the passenger's side. I was hit in a parking lot about 10 years ago and never got it fixed. About 15 years ago, I was also hit in a parking lot and the original tailgate was damaged beyond repair. The current tailgate is an aftermarket product. I also never bothered to get the "TOYOTA" stenciling redone on the tailgate which is something that is standard for the 1996 model. The rear bumper was also damaged at the same time, but its damage appeared to be minimal, so I never bothered to fix it. You can see for yourself in the pictures.

It breaks my heart to sell it since I've had it for so long, but the practical side of me outweighs the emotional side of me. It just makes sense to sell it because the truck is not really adding any value by sitting there collecting dust. So, it's just time to sell it.

If you are interested in talking over the phone, please send me a note and we can arrange to talk. I will absolutely not turn over the keys or title until I have received a full payment or wire transfer that has been confirmed by my bank. Within 24 hours after the auction ends, I will require a $500 deposit. The rest will need to be paid within one week.

You are responsible to set up and pay for your own shipping arrangements. Having said that, I will attempt to be as accommodating as is reasonable, because I know it can't be too easy to ship a truck around the country.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Toyota outsells VW for global sales crown, apologizes with a vow to 'be honest'

Tue, Jan 30 2024

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda bows in apology during a press conference Tuesday over the group companies' quality scandals. (Getty Images)   Every quarter, the stock market hangs on how much sales growth Tesla and other startups have experienced. There's growth, but then there's sheer output, and when it comes to deliveries dominance, one company can't be touched. Toyota on Tuesday announced that it remained the world's top-selling automaker for the fourth year running, with record sales of 11.2 million vehicles in 2023. Toyota's global group sales jumped 7.2% last year; the numbers include sales at Daihatsu and truck unit Hino Motors. Toyota's parent-only vehicles, which include the Toyota and Lexus brands, hit a record of 10.3 million vehicles in 2023. Gasoline-electric hybrids made up about a third of those. Battery electric vehicles accounted for less than 1%. Toyota's annual output handily beat runner-up Volkswagen Group, which this month reported a 12% rise in deliveries last year to 9.2 million cars. That growth was driven largely by demand for Audi, which sold 1.9 million vehicles. The auto industry in 2023 enjoyed a post-pandemic recovery as supply chain bottlenecks eased, though shipping problems through the Red Sea so far this year have stalled that progress by some automakers, causing some car plants in Europe to suspend production. Toyota's global group sales have now topped 10 million vehicles for nine of the past 10 years, except for 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic delivered a blow to the auto sector. Scandals and an apology Toyota's chairman apologized on Tuesday for scandals at the three group companies. Daihatsu, Hino and affiliate Toyota Industries have been beset by governance issues involving certification test procedures for cars and engines that could potentially hurt the brand's global reputation for quality and safety. "I would like to express my deepest apologies to our customers and stakeholders for the inconvenience and concern caused by the successive irregularities at Hino Motors, Daihatsu and Toyota Industries," Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda told reporters. He was speaking at an event to announce a vision for the Toyota group, which was founded by his great-grandfather and now includes 17 companies.

Toyota and Suzuki are looking at an R&D partnership because they admit they're behind

Wed, Oct 12 2016

The Chairman of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Osamu Suzuki, and the President of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, have convened at Toyota's Tokyo offices to declare plans to join hands regarding research and development. According to Toyoda, Toyota "hasn't been good at creating alliances," and its partnership with the small carmaker Daihatsu has been the most well-known collaboration so far. Perhaps the comment has a tinge of regret from Toyota and GM's NUMMI days in Fremont, especially as the statement released by Toyota says that "Toyota is conscious of the fact that it may be behind competitors in North America and Europe when it comes to the establishment of standardizations and partnership with other companies." But as different technologies advance at breakneck speed and it is difficult for companies both big and small to stay competitive, let alone ahead of the game, Toyota is accepting the need for collaboration. Toyoda referred to passenger safety, environmental issues, automated driving, and hydrogen technology, all of which are key challenges for any carmaker looking to stay relevant, and all expensive to experiment with. Spreading the cost over more vehicles should help. "We received an offer from Suzuki regarding collaboration possibilities on advanced and future technologies such as in information technology. Suzuki made a frank proposal to us, and in understanding that Toyota is facing the challenges which I had mentioned earlier, we thought that with the relationship between both companies, there is an opportunity for a business partnership to help solve such challenges. As such, we decided to explore such possibilities together," said Toyoda. In the future, Daihatsu will still be Toyota's tool in emerging markets, but now Toyota could have access to Suzuki's small-car know-how. Osamu Suzuki acknowledges that "Suzuki's current business focuses on minivehicles in Japan and India," as Suzuki withdrew from the US and Canada in 2013. A joint effort will help Suzuki remain relevant, and as a manufacturer of predominantly small vehicles it has been focusing on competitive pricing more than cutting edge technology. Related Video:

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
