Hello, 

I'm reluctantly selling my 1998 Toyota Tacoma. It isn't a brand new truck, but you will be hard pressed to find another in this condition. I searched for about 6 month to find an older 4- CYL Tacoma with low miles in excellent condition. I finally located and purchased this Tacoma 2 months ago in Northeast Tennessee, only to realize it isn't the best fit for our growing family. 

Truck is equipped with the SR5 package, the 2.7L 4 Cylinder engine, and 4x4 transmission. This is a hard combination to find. 

I had the truck inspected recently by a master Toyota mechanic. The only thing it needed was an oil change. The 4 Cylinders have a timing chain, and per the mechanic and reliable sources on the tacomaworld forum, it shouldn't need replacing until 150K+. The truck starts first crank and runs strong. The auto transmission shifts smoothly, and 4x4 engages properly and without hesitation. As I type this everything is working as it should on this truck.

The truck is Sunfire Red Pearl and has been garaged kept. It looks great, but does have a few scratches here and there - still well above average for a 1998. The truck bed has a matching Sunfire Red Pearl tonneau cover by century. The interior is in great shape as well. The dash has no cracks, and the seats are clean and free of rips - overall very nice interior - once again above average for a 1998.

The tires are new Yokohama Geolander AT-S.

If you are looking for an older Tacoma in great condition - this is it. Truck is located in Charleston, SC 29407. Thanks for looking.

Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform

Fri, 25 Oct 2013



"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
