It is a rugged Toyota SUV, with body on frame. While it has a selectable transfercase with 2Hi, 4Hi, and 4Lo settings, 2Hi and 4Hi operate 95% of all normal driving. The 4x4 has been used in mud and sand and snow, but has not been used to do anything extreme like crashing over rocks or against trees. There is no evidence that has done anything other than drive city streets or secondary roads that may have had mud, sand, or snow (or ALL). I am the second owner. The first owner keep good records of maint and general usage. When you look down the line of any side of vehicle, it is obviously very smooth and straight.
It has a receiver hitch and wiring plug for hooking up a trailer
The body glass is perfect, almost no pits (very small) and no cracks.The axles do not leak fluids, and the boots over the front CV shafts are without tears or splits. The tailpipe does not release oil smoke or radiator fluids. It starts easy and has gauges that indicate the antifreeze, oil pressure, voltage are all in desirable ranges. It can get 20-22 mpg on the highway in 2Hi. I had all fluids checked recently and the technition expressed how clean everything is.
We lived at the end of a winding gravel road in all kinds of weather and was never stranded.
It has a factory alarm system. The factory sound system has AM/FM/cassette/CD, all work very well.
It is over 18 years old, with no trouble of head gasket blowing out. It did have a connecting rod bearing go bad that needed replacement. I went to professional contacts and farmed out some machining. The block was mic'd and all bearing points, cylinders, were still inside of factory specs. Rather than have an odd size rod bearing, I ordered all-new, pistons, rings, connecting rods, seals, gaskets, crankshaft, bearings, oil pump, cam belt, and one camshaft that was out of spec. It now has all new injectors, seals and filters. Due to my goof up, I had to buy a new radiator (wasn't watching close enough to prevent a loose fan blade from tearing out fins in the old radiator (to this day kick myself for not doing a nut/bolt count that afternoon). It is a safe SUV that can haul 6 people (if adults be VERY good friends. Kids will do fine)
Inside the car you will note that there are no waterstains from roof or door seals. The doors close solidly without rattles.
.No one has ever smoked in this vehicle.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
Toyota's $1.6B unintended acceleration settlement approved
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Toyota is now one step closer to putting its unintended acceleration woes behind it as it has received approval from the US District Court for the Central District of California to settle loss-of-value claims to vehicles associated with the 2009-2010 recalls.
As we reported back in May, the Toyota settlement is worth $1.63 billion, which, according to Bloomberg, includes a payout of $757 million to affected owners, $227 million to attorneys and an additional $875 million for vehicle upgrades. (We did the math, too, and that totals $1.859 billion, but there is no justification for the discrepancy. Fuzzy math, eh?)
Based on the estimated 22.6 million vehicles said to be included in this suit, that would make the average payment about $33.49 per vehicle, but the article says that owners, lessees and even renters will receive varying amounts ranging from $9.74 up to as much as $10,000. This settlement does not affect suits filed for personal injury or wrongful death.
