1996 Toyota 4runner Sr5 5vzfe 3.4 V6 5 Speed Manual Tan On Tan. Recent Service on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
This posting is for a beige on tan 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. truck has 263,000 miles on it. (miles may go up between now and sale, I do still drive it on a non-regular basis). Good: * fresh timing belt service with water pump, three idler wheels and hydraulic tensioner (OEM belt) * new correct DENSO plugs * newer steering rack (09) * 4WD works great * engine starts up every time, no odd noises or issues. perfect engine * transmission is smooth and quiet. no grinds or issues. * transfer case is good. no issues, noises or odd behavior * the Yokohama Geolandar tires are in great shape and have 75+% tread * the truck gets about 17mpg combined. not bad for what it is. 21-23 highway 14-15 city. * high-end Alpine stereo with iPod plug, upgraded speakers. * power sunroof * power rear hatch glass (whole hatch was replaced last winter with much nicer one from a 98 SR5.) * newer exhaust muffler * 1 1/4 ” reciever hitch w/ powered tail light converter harness (4 pin) * WeatherTech® floor liners in the front. best thing ever for a Minnesota vehicle. they’re great. the things that aren’t perfect: * the rocker panels are pretty rusty * the valve cover gaskets leak a little oil (under a half quart between changes) * one of the two front CV axle boots is starting to age. not cracked yet, but within a couple of years, it’ll need a new boot on it. again, overall it is a GREAT truck. only reason I am selling it is I picked up a 5 speed BMW X5 out of the blue. had that not showed up, I would happily drive this 4runner all day every day. It is not perfect, being an 18 year old Minnesota truck, but all things considered, it is in nice shape and great mechanically. |

Toyota confirms all-wheel drive V8 hybrid for TS040 LMP1 car in 2014
Sun, 02 Feb 2014The 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship is gearing up to be one of the most exciting seasons of endurance racing in recent memory. All of the factory-entered LMP1 class cars are using hybrid powertrains, and Porsche is returning to the top class of the sport after a 16-year absence. Don't count out Toyota, though. The team has just revealed the first official details about its 2014 TS040 LMP1 car, and it has a big surprise - all-wheel drive.
The TS040 will follow Audi's lead and will use a combination motor and generator to power the front wheels. The system will generate power under braking and will use it up when accelerating to give a boost in traction over last year's rear-wheel-drive Toyota TS030. Toyota will stick with a gasoline-fueled, naturally aspirated 3.4-liter V8 to feed the rear wheels and will take on Audi's diesel, turbocharged 3.7-liter V6 and Porsche's gasoline-fueled, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
Sadly, there are no real pictures of the TS040 yet. Toyota is holding off on unveiling the car until the end of March at the WEC test at the Paul Ricard circuit, and the racing season doesn't begin until April 20 with the 6 Hours of Silverstone. You can read the whole press release about the TS040 below.
Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line
Fri, 09 May 2014Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
Lexus LX to get diesel engine?
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.
