1997 Toyota 4Runner

This is a great 4Runner from Sunny Florida. I have owned this for 2 years and it has never let me down, period. These old style SUVs will run forever with the proper care and you will not be disappointed with this one. The underside of this RWD chassis from Japan is like new with no rust or corrosion anywhere.

The finish is Salsa Red, and very good and shiny throughout, though there is some fading on the hood and roof due to exposure to the sun here. However the sides and rear are very clean and shiny with a very presentable finish. This unit has the full SR5 trim with gold exterior emblems. I elected to replace the front bumper, grille and lower valance with brand new Toyota parts when I bought the car. It had a brush guard which was attached and there was some minor wrinkles in the bumper and grille at the time. I only want the best for my vehicles so these were sourced new, not aftermarket! The truck also has the full SR5 fender trim and running boards making it very attractive. I had found that the rear running board trim was missing and I have these parts (you will see missing in the photos) brand new in Toyota boxes. The rear has a 2" receiver hitch and full trailer wiring for light to moderate towing.

I did not like the 15" wheels and obtained a nice set of Michelin 16" tires mounted on 2003 Tundra wheels, and these are in excellent shape as you can see.

Mechanically, the truck needs nothing. I run a diesel repair shop and have never had to stop and fix this car. It starts up and runs great every day. I disassembled the timing belt cover for inspection only to find a new water pump and belt, they are good for another 50,000. I did replace the accessory belts, thermostat, O2 sensor, NGK spark plugs and hoses along with the valve cover and intake manifold gaskets as well as fuel and air filters. The 4 struts had also been replaced recently. I completely serviced the automatic transmission which is operating flawlessly, also replacing 2 universal joints at the time. There was a slight drag on the engine and this was found to be a malfunctioning clutch fan; a new Aisin / Toyota unit has now been installed resulting in less drag and a silent engine. Castrol 5w30 engine oil is used, along with locally available 90 octane non-ethanol gasoline which we have found to perform well in fuel injected engines.

The interior had moderate wear. I removed the carpet and front seats which were very uncomfortable cloth with no support. I then installed two beautiful and comfortable power leather seats from a Mercury Mountaineer. This was difficult as they are quite wider than the OEM seats, but what a difference in comfort! These are treated with Lexol leather conditioner regularly. The carpeted areas have all been recovered in a tan vinyl flooring from Stock Interiors. It is very durable and washable for beaches, boating, pets or whatever you can get into. I have found it to be a very good tradeoff from carpet and it looks good with the leather. I also have a complete rear leather bench from another 4Runner Limited included with the sale. I added a leather console cover / armrest from a Limited also. The OEM radio was not playing CDs and a JVC head unit was installed with full input capabilities for your 1/8 in iPod.

The 4Runner has every option that you could look for. Power windows, seats, tilt / slide sunroof, rear window fully retracts and defrosts and wipes, cruise control and mirrors are all working like new. The AC system was fully resealed , flushed and the drier was replaced; it blows very cold all of the time in and out of traffic.

There is a Ford Powertroke emblem on the driver's door, this is strictly for advertising and will be removed prior to the sale!

Please call me if you have any questions; I will also send additional photos if needed. My wife wants a bigger SUV and I no longer have a use for this one. You will be happy with this fine Toyota! Jeff 941-830-3137

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Thu, 08 May 2014

What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Toyota Mirai officially first hydrogen-powered pace car

Sun, Apr 26 2015

In addition to the chance to see bumper-to-bumper racing in a unique atmosphere, the roar of V8 engines is one of the things that compel people to attend NASCAR events, rather than watching them from the couch on TV. The front end of the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway was a whole lot quieter, though, because the 2016 Toyota Mirai made its debut as a pace car there. Outfitted with a light bar and a special livery, the Mirai became the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to ever pace a NASCAR race and led the cars to the green flag for Saturday night's Sprint Cup round. The sedan was tested prior to the event to prove it had the performance required to lead the 43-car field. "Bringing the Mirai to Richmond to pace this important race is another way for Toyota to showcase our innovation and environmental leadership," Ed Laukes, company vice president of marketing, performance, and guest experience, said. There's some precedent for Toyota to show off its green credentials to the NASCAR audience. In 2009, a Camry Hybrid paced the Coca-Cola 600. The automaker's fuel cell tech already had a maiden motorsport outing, too. Late last year, the FCV Concept, which previewed the Mirai, was the zero car to check the roads for the Shinshiro Rally in Japan. TOYOTA MIRAI TAKES TO THE TRACK 23/04/15 Mirai Will Pace Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Mirai Is First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle to Pace a NASCAR Race RICHMOND, VA. (April 23, 2015) – Toyota today announced the 2016 Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, will pace the Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday night, April 25. Today's approval allows the Mirai to serve as the first hydrogen-fueled vehicle to pace a NASCAR race. It will lead the Sprint Cup Series field to the green flag at Richmond on Saturday night and emit only water out of its tailpipe along the way. "Having a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle pace the Toyota Owners 400 is a historic moment for both Toyota and NASCAR and we're proud it's the Toyota Mirai," said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing, performance and guest experience, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.
