2nd owner.  Original except for stereo which was excellent when installed 10 years.  It has spent it's recent half of it's life in FL (6 months) and AZ (11 years).  Previously it was in Boston.  This means it is not 100% a rust-free AZ truck, nor a clapped out rust bucket from the east.  Nothing important has rust.  Running boards, wiper arm, tail latch (pictures included), etc have some rust.  I took pictures of the rockers and underneath -- there is no rust in the body, frame, or engine.  The paint is very nice except the top has fading, some almost to white.  It has a small oil leak that only leaks when driven and requires a quart every 6+ tanks of gas. The interior is as pristine as a 21 year old car is -- no rips in upholstery, cracked dash, 3rd seat rarely used -- the inside looks very good.  There is a list of little things that is not exhaustive:  Driver's mirror motor broken in mirror, gas tank door wobbly, only opens manually, rear latch missing handle but opens fine with the levers the handle is supposed to attach to, fender flares screwed on when replaced due to damage, small dent front bumper, some small chips in windshield, paint, and especially fender flares, running boards icky (rust, not flat, etc). Over hard bumps dash light can blink.  Antennae does not go all the way up.  Lost the remote for the key (can easily get a new one from Toyota).

I want to repeat that everything important works properly and safely.  The brakes are perfect.  The steering is.  The transmission works correctly.  It runs strong and does not smoke.  The tires are good.  It has been well kept.

In fact -- the very worst thing on the truck is the running boards.

This was the car of women and they never used it as a 4x4 -- no off roading, (husband tried it once, never again :-) ) no dents in the bottom, nothing ever filled with mud, well maintained and garaged most of the time (including now).  

This would be excellent just as-is and has many years left in it with proper maintenance.  Or you can take it off road and not worry about trashing an 85k rig (like the new ones).  Or you can modify it --  soup the engine with a rebuild.  This is no show queen, but it is a very nice 93 Cruiser.  Me ... I'd chuck the running boards anyway and lift it and enjoy.

I am selling the car for the owner so it can take more time to get answers.  Or you can send me a phone number and I'll have her call you.

Several people noticed I had no interior pictures -- that is because I hit the maximum of 24 pictures and they did not even give me an error message.  The balance of the pictures are at the URL above.  Interior, wheels, dash, stereo, door panels and more!  Also took some redundancy out when re-listing and now have some interior pictures.  Note that what looks like a hole in the carpet under driver is NOT -- it is a hole in a floor mat.  The carpets are great and the mats OK except the one.

Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.

Toyota brings TRD Griffon GT86 to Goodwood [w/video]

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

In the midst of the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, there's a particularly special Toyota running up the hill. This special entry is a GT86 (the cousin to our Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) that's been poked, prodded, and tweaked by the minds at Toyota Racing Development. The result of TRD's fettling is a nearly race-ready car.
Starting with the body, the hood, doors, trunk lid, and wings are all made of carbon fiber. The lightweight treatment doesn't end there, though. The bumpers, fenders, and diffuser all feature carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, while the windows are now made of polycarbonate plastic.
Under the hood sits the same 2.0-liter boxer engine found in the standard GT86, but its six-speed manual gearbox features a shorter final drive ratio for improved acceleration. The coilover suspension has been firmed up, and a TRD mechanical limited-slip differential replaces the Torsen unit. The TRD Griffon rides on TWS 18-inch wheels and Yokohama Advan tires. To bring proceedings to a stop, TRD has fitted its own mono-block caliper kit, complete with more robust racing pads.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
