Fantastic little pickup truck. 50 mpg at 65mph on the highway! The truck is currently a daily driver and is averaging 45 mpg between city and highway. It starts right up every time, runs, shifts and drives very nicely. 5 speed manual transmission. Very smooth and straight on the highway. The interior is a nice butterscotch/ caramel color and in pretty decent shape for it's age. The truck came from California this year and is rust free! Looks like it has underbody coating everywhere underneath the truck and a built in block heater. The block heater cord is conveniently accessed right behind the front bumper for easy plug in during the winter months. Truck bed coating throughout the bed and the bumpers as well. Set up for light towing with a 2" hitch ball and plug for trailer lights. The paint job is aftermarket (not factory) and I would rate it about a 7 out of 10 overall. The truck looks great but it is fairly old so don't expect it to be "like new". Exterior lights all work but the interior does not. Clock works great, speedometer is bouncy (speedometer gear is solid, I am installing a new speedometer cable in the next day or two which should settle it down). The truck has a new timing belt, new water pump, new alternator, and new injection pump! Passenger seat is in great shape. The driver's seat was torn but tastefully patched. Currently no headliner. I have the backing piece which would need a new piece of fabric. One layer of sound deadening coating has been applied to the roof so far. All of the glass is solid and crack free! The sliding part of the rear window to the truck bed was replaced with a plexiglass piece. The heat works great. The truck has AC and cruise control however the AC is empty (I have not tried to charge it yet but I did test the compressor clutch and it engaged as it should) and the cruise does not seem to work (I have not checked it out at all). New wiper blades. New dash speakers. CV boots on the axles look good. Comes with matching topper, a full tank of diesel and will get a fresh oil and filter change just before the sale! I will get a picture with the topper on the truck in the next day or two. This truck gets compliments and comments everywhere I go! Rare, looks great, drives great and better mileage than you will find on many hybrid cars! Thanks for looking, and good luck!

Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
