Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Macon, Georgia, United States
The rarest of the rare medium wheelbase 40 series Land Cruisers. The only model with a forward facing rear bench seat. Being a 1981 BJ44V, this is the preferred late model cruiser with front discs, factory a/c, incredible L-Package (aka LX Package) cloth with vinyl interior, 4spd transmission, and the very rare cabin controlled factory PTO winch. Further L-Package compents are the white steel wheels, chrome grill and bumpers, and chrome license plate lights. This rig has spent 99% of it's life with the owner of a resort hotel on Lake Akan in Hokkaido Japan. The doors still have the pre-delivery plastic covering the door cards, the floors are covered in custom cut and stitched plastic and carpet on top of it. The factory matting is under that and the pristine floor below it. All seats have full seat covers that may or may not be Toyota items but they are definitely vintage. This is why this truck is in the amazing condition along with it's very limited use. We were advised it was used as a snow plow and likely ferried guests to some choice spots near the lake. Finding any 40 series Land Cruiser, be it a FJ40 or FJ45 etc..., in this amazing original condition is almost unheard of. Although production numbers are unknown, the BJ44V was only produced from 1980-1982 based the information available. The Freeborn red paint is in fantastic shape as is the 033 white on the roof. There are a few very small touch-ups mostly along the drip rail. The chassis has been painted in places but was applied as preventative protection rather than to cover up rust/corrosion. This vehicle is likely one the cleanest most original land cruisers left. The local Atlanta Land Cruiser specialists, ACC Toyota, made the same determination. Noting there are rubber flaps around the radiator and other components that are rarely found intact let alone in the "time warp" condition as on this truck. Actual VIN is BJ44004631 and is too short for eBay. Vehicle will be sold with the following documentation. Original manual with service records.

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 recounts past Supra glories
Mon, 29 Jul 2013It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
Report: Daihatsu leaving European market
Sun, 16 Jan 2011More than any other, two carmaking giants sit at the top of the industry: Toyota and General Motors. But while GM sells under a (shrinking but still) expansive range of brands, the Toyota Motor Corporation sells most of its vehicles under its own name. That doesn't mean that Toyota, however, doesn't have its own portfolio of subsidiaries. Here in the United States we have the youth-oriented Scion division, while Lexus handles its upscale offerings, and overseas there's Daihatsu.
The budget brand offers a range of small cars under its own name; most are hatchbacks, but there's also the Copen roadster and even a rebadged Camry called the Altis. You may have come across some of their offerings while traveling overseas, particularly in Europe, but that last part is about to come to an end, according to reports.
Word from across the pond is that Toyota plans to withdraw Daihatsu from the European market altogether. The move would reportedly take effect in 2013, and if it comes to pass, would follow similar withdrawals from the North American (1992) and Australian (2006) markets. Thanks for the tip, William!
