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.

Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test

Wed, Sep 6 2017

Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.
