Those who “know” know that this is a special machine. Manual shifting bliss in a duty grade
off-road vehicle. Late 3rd generation
4Runner, built in Japan, frame-based, cast iron block, cast aluminum heads,
locking differential – and a smooth quiet ride that’s great on highway. Found a older low-miles BMW X5 with manual so
I’m taking one more turn in the 3-pedaled 4wd suv fantasy world.
I drive my cars and motorcycles gingerly and civilly, let them
warm before loading engine, go slow and easy on the shifter to let the synchs
figure it out on their schedule, use synth oil, dodge bumps, blip throttle when
shifting to preserve clutch, brake with foresight, etc. – and it has been babied on highways and flat
city roads and not off-road (ok, I’m embarrassed) . You can feel it - truck starts perfectly,
consumes no oil, idles smoothly, doesn't clunk or rattle over bumps, etc. It is impressive and has been a fantastic
vehicle – it is a survivor. Have
original manuals. It’s fantastic to
drive – no deficits on highway, smooth pedals, tracks straight, no play in
steering. Have original trunk shade, spare,
jack.
My records are spotty due to a disorganized divorce (and owner),
but I have the basics. I bought it in
2004 with 80K miles on it. New clutch
around 120K miles. It recently got new
mass air flow sensor, plug wires/plugs, timing belt, radiator and valve cover
gaskets. Interstate battery with some
tread left. Sunroof never had probs and works
fine in both modes. AC blows cold and
has never had an issue.
Issues you’d see/notice if you came and drove it: Backed into a small/stealthy/solid crepemyrtle tree and received
dent/slight bend in rear bumper and tailgate.
Once had minor collision with a suburban back bumper and received new front
side panels, radiator, bumper, and lights from State Farm (original hood with
its original paint is present and undamaged – car came out looking mucho better
actually). Passenger back quarterpanel
has a dent. Paint is in good shape – car
spent a lot of its time in garage. Tires
are way-past-due Michelins but they don’t vibrate and have been excellent. A couple of small cig burns in seat and floor
carpet but absolutely no cig odor (cracked window and non-recirc make this
possible). Leaks a bit of oil but you
don’t see it on ground – only an odor. This
truck has never required addition of oil between changes. Reverse lights and dome lights
intermittent. Cassette and backlight out
on radio. Electric antenna struggling.
Questions welcome. Good
luck bidding. I hate to sell it.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Toyota Harrier gets a whale of a facelift [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX - at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically. That appears to be changing with this just-revealed new generation at the Tokyo Motor Show.
That's because this two-row, five-seat Toyota is in possession of a bold new look, dominated by a jutting, baleen-like grille edged in chrome, along with new headlamps and fascia. The greenhouse has likewise been revamped and gotten more pointed at the rump, which has new taillights, a resurfaced tailgate and a faux rear diffuser. Were it to be ported over to North American Lexus dealers intact, the Harrier's look would be jarring in light of the brand's spindle-grille-based design language, so we suspect that if the RX gets any of these updates (it was just refreshed for 2013), it will strike out on a different path visually.
Unlike the US RX, the new Harrier will rely on smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines, namely a 2.0-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission or a 2.5-liter four backed up by an electric motor. We'd like to see a smaller-displacement option for the US RX (it presently runs with 3.5-liter V6 engines in both gas-only and hybrid guise), but suspect it won't arrive until the next all-new model.
2014 Toyota 4Runner
Fri, 02 Aug 2013I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.
