1987 Toyota Landcruiser Hj 60 2h Diesel H55 Tranny on 2040-cars
Alto, New Mexico, United States
This is an excellent vehicle for the avid Cruiser head! The 2H engine is a rock solid diesel engine and has been well maintained through and through. This engine produces alot of low end torque which allows it power through 4WD terrain with ease. Toyota has a rugged reputation and this vehicle is no exception.
There is some rust on the under carriage, however, the tub is solid and there are no wear spots. A hail storm imparted a handful of dings to the roof and hood, but it is only slightly evident. This is a mechanically sound vehicle. It is capable of 4WD adventures in the high passes of the San Juan mountains at 12,600 ft and will likewise drive 75 MPH down the highway. Parts are surprisingly available for this model and it always turns heads. The exterior is in overall good condition, however, it has a mirror which has fallen off and the Landcruiser emblem on the passenger side has fallen off. I do have both of them as well as some additional items to go with the winning bidder. The fuel economy specifics are entirely up to how hard and fast you push the vehicle, but at 65 MPH on the HWY you can expect anywhere from 18-20 MPG of DIESEL! It is a heavy machine and non turboed therefore it does pass black smoke in the exhaust...this is normal! I have considered installing the appropriate turbo charger for it in the past, however, they are very expensive to purchase and I don't know many mechanics who were willing to tackle the project without charging as much as the turbo. I am the third owner of this truck and her name is Sadie. The original owner was a plumber from Canada and the second owner was a lawyer who had it imported to San Antonio, Tx. He would use it to take his kids hunting and for going out to get ice cream on Sundays. I bought her about five years ago to get me back and forth from college a two hour drive away. I made the trek once a week and she never gave me any problems. On days I woke up late she would push me to class at 75MPH! I am selling because I have finished college and my wife and I own a few businesses in which I need to invest the money I have in the Landcruiser to ensure their survival. I still owe a small amount, but my bank is very timely and easy to work with. The winning bidder may pay with paypal or via wire transfer. Thanks for looking! |

How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota
Thu, 08 May 2014With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
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."
Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
