This is my 2008 Toyota Trail Teams Special Edition, with rare 6 speed stick, 68,000 miles. and is one of the cleanest vehicles you will find. Kelley Blue Book value is $22,159 with the options this truck has and is a private party sell price - NOT a retail price. I am very particular about my cars. It still has the balance of the certified warranty on the power-train up to 100,000 miles or 7 years from date of purchase. No dings, no dents and no scratches. It's clean. Rear seat has never been sat in. Passenger seat has only been sat in a handful of times. Color is White on White, which is a rare, factory option, and only available on the Trail Teams Edition. I have always had seat covers on the front seats to protect them, so they are prefect. If you look closely in the pictures, you will see the seat covers are still on the car, so it's the cover you see that is worn and NOT the seat itself. I have driven this vehicle since it was purchased certified pre-owned form Toyota with upper twenty something thousand miles as a daily driver. I waited for the longest time to find one of these, because it comes with all of the options Toyota offered in the FJ in 2008. All factory options and NONE are aftermarket: Built in Boom Box, Trail Teams Badges, Roof Rack, Manual Transmission, Arctic White on White Paint, TRD(Toyota Racing Division) Black Out Wheels, Off Road Tires, Rock Bars, Off Road Head Lights, Rear Diff. Lock, All Time All-Wheel Drive, Air Conditioning, Parking Sensors, AM/FM/CD, Compass on dash with Camber/Piths Gauges, Anti-Slip Traction Control, Outdoor Temp, 4X4 Low Range, Skid Plates on Both Front and Rear of the Vehicle, Tow Package, Rubber Winter Mats including in the back cargo area, in-dash 6 Disk CD Player, Auxiliary input for iPod or other, 6 speed standard transmission and more. The truck is immaculate and has never been modified or been off road. Never has been in an accident. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see it. I am ONLY selling to buy a new pickup truck as I need something larger for work. Doubt you will find a cleaner truck. If you know anything about the Toyota FJ, Trail Teams Package, they are very and are sought after. There was only one per dealership allowed, they are extremely hard to come by, and bring a premium when you find one. I think I am asking a fair price as what I have found others have been selling for much more. Take a look on eBay and they are looking for quite a bit more than my asking price.

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.

There's a familiar ring to this 1966 video of GM's hydrogen ElectroVan

Thu, Dec 18 2014

"What we need is fuel cells that can run on a hydrocarbon fuel and air." It can be fun and educational to revisit the past as we look into the future. While we do have cars that plug in today, the first big batch of hydrogen powered vehicles is not yet arrived (but the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell CUV is leading the way). The idea of hydrogen as a promising future technology was also true in 1960s, when General Motors made a promotional movie for the ElectroVan. Turns out, the future then shared more than a little with the future now. As you can see in the short promotional video below for the hydrogen-powered ElectroVan, a modified 1966 GMC HandiVan, a big hurdle in the mid 1960s was the difficulty of obtaining hydrogen fuel. GM offered a possible solution at the time: "Hydrogen and oxygen are expensive and impractical fuels for a car. What we need is fuel cells that can run on a hydrocarbon fuel and air." Unlike today's hydrogen fuel cell cars, the ElectroVan used liquid hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells to get a range of between 100 and 150 miles. Not bad for the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle in the world. GM tested the ElectroVan on the GM grounds before sending it into storage and then to the company's heritage center. For another view to the past, this time with some focus on electric vehicles, take a look at a video from the 1994 Chicago Auto Show, also available below. Twenty years ago, the green vehicle hype was on the Toyota EV-50 electric car, the solar-powered Honda EVX (and a solar Honda racing car) and a hydrogen-powered Mazda Miata. The announcer's enthusiasm is contagious, but as we all know, none of these vehicles ever made it to dealerships. This content is hosted by a third party.

Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.
