1999 Toyota Landcruiser V8 4wd Suv - California Truck, 2 Owners on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:187600
Location:


Offered here is a legendary Toyota LandCruiser for consideration. If you are familiar with these SUV’s, then you know they were built with excellence, engineering ahead of their time and will run forever. The consumer reviews on this vehicle are higher than any other SUV (look it up) – they continue to perform year after year.

This 2-owner 1999 model has spent its whole life in California (until coming to Michigan in January 2014) and remains 100% rust free. It is finished in the original factory Natural White color over a gray full leather interior. With arguably the most reliable engine Toyota has ever built, it is powered by a 4.7L V8 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This 4x4 also has a folding 3rd row for extra passengers. Amenities include roof rack, power sunroof, heated front seats, locking center differential, heated side mirrors, power antenna, CD player, and power seats, mirrors, windows, locks and even rear window vents.  

It comes with a squeaky clean CarFax (see photo), routine service records, keyless remote access, spare key, tool kit, spare tire, and the peace of mind that only a LandCruiser can deliver. It’s a safe and solid SUV with superb handling that won’t ever leave you stranded, whether navigating the city streets or climbing off-road hills. This is the vehicle that put the Y2K panic to rest :) Built like a tank and ready for many more miles. 

Please contact me with any and all questions. 

This vehicle is being offered for sale through Garage Kept Motors, LLC.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"

2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Toyota offers many flavors of its refreshed 2015 Camry, but those who choose to lower their operating cost-per-mile, squeeze 500-plus miles out of each tank of fuel or run a very efficient and reliable sedan in their taxi fleets will only be interested in one: the Camry Hybrid.
The exterior of the 2015 Camry Hybrid is nearly indistinguishable from its gasoline-only counterparts, with the same all-new sheetmetal and bumpers. The Hybrid is offered in LE, SE and XLE trims, meaning customers are offered base, sport or luxury configurations, respectively.
While Toyota expended quite a bit of effort resculpting and improving the 2015 Camry Hybrid, one area it didn't touch was the powertrain - it is virtually identical to last year's model (just like the gas version). Under the hood is a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine (156 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque) and an electric tractive motor (141 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque). Combined, and running through Toyota's unique Hybrid Synergy Drive electronic continuously variable transmission, the two produce 200 horsepower (Toyota does not list a combined torque figure, and we've asked for clarification). A 1.6 kilowatt-hour nickel-metal-hydride battery, packaged behind the rear seats, provides energy storage.

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
