1996 Land Cruiser Super Charged Overland Expedition Vehicle Fully Built on 2040-cars
Flagstaff, Arizona, United States
I have made a website dedicated to this truck full descriptions and photos. Please visit expocruiser.info/expo/Expo_Cruiser/Home.html The roof top tent is not pictured on some of the photo's but does come with the sale of the Land Cruiser. Please look at the above website for full details and pictures. I have owned the truck since 02/06/02. I am the 2nd owner. I bought it from our local Toyota dealership right here in Flagstaff AZ. with 60,000 miles on it, it now has 176356 miles on it now.I have kept perfect maintenance records and only used Toyota parts where available for maintenance and repairs. This Land Cruiser has been extremely pampered and given the royal treatment its whole life. The truck 110% reliable and I would drive it anywhere. We just got back from the Grand Canyon on a 3 day camping trip and the truck performed flawless as usual. It has lived in AZ its whole life so their is no rust at all on this Landcruiser. My wife and I have been very careful drivers and we do not smoke, slam the doors, use smelly air fresheners or have kids or pets so the truck is in amazing condition. I have seen lots of 80 series Land Cruisers through out the years and have NEVER seen one in better condition. All fluids used for maintenance are top of the line synthetic. This land Cruiser needs nothing and all maintenance is current. It is ready to drive back home no matter where you live. I have done all the work on this Land Cruiser minus the head reconditioning, I pulled the head and took it to a machine shop for a complete go over and replaced all wearable items i could think of while I had the head off. I also had the stereo professionally installed. Other than that I have personally done all the work myself. I am not new to Land Cruisers as I have owned several FJ40's, a 60, a FJ55 PIG and have done all the work and custom builds on all of them. No expense spared on this very complete build. This truck is a real head turner and I constantly get thumbs up or am getting questioned about the rig. It looks amazing and is in very good condition. I have gone over this truck with a fine toothed comb and have replaced allot of things that were not broken for good measure. It lives in my garage, kept on a battery tender when not in use. Just changed the engine oil for the drive home with Toyota filter installed Feel free to contact me with questions you may have. I am not open to trades or parting out. 928-606-3867 Body 1.

2020 Kia Soul vs. subcompact crossovers: How they compare on paper
Fri, Mar 1 2019At 10 years old, the 2020 Kia Soul has entered its third, and potentially best, generation yet. To get here, it fought off other boxy hatchbacks such as the Scion xB and Nissan Cube. But now it faces all new competition: subcompact crossovers. They offer similar sizes, prices and flexibility as the Soul, but with a veneer of ruggedness. But the Soul is ready with its own rugged trim, the X-Line, plus the return of its powerful turbocharged variant. To see how the Soul stacks up to the fresh competition, we've compiled vital stats on all the tall hatches. Considering the prodigious size of the subcompact crossover segment, we've limited our selection to a few options that are similarly priced and sized to the Soul, and that offer a bit of funky styling. They include the Toyota C-HR, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Kona and Honda HR-V. There are of course many more options, and you can create your own comparisons using our Compare Cars feature. (You can also check out our Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comparison that includes a few larger choices). In the meantime, though, check out all the numbers on our selected vehicles in the chart below, followed by analysis after. Performance, fuel economy and drivetrains The crossover segment is diverse when it comes to powertrains, with all different displacements, induction systems and drive wheels. A surprising number of these supposedly rugged and off-road-oriented vehicles (at least more than normal cars) are front-drive only. These include the Nissan Kicks, Toyota C-HR and Kia Soul. But the Kona and HR-V offer all-wheel drive, with the Hyundai offering it on both engine options. Speaking of engine options, only the Kia and Hyundai have two possibilities, either a base 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, or a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. The base engines have identical outputs of 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, but the turbo engines differ. The Soul has 201 horsepower to the Hyundai's 175, but both make the same 195 pound-feet of torque. The Kicks, C-HR and HR-V all offer just one engine option, and they're all naturally aspirated. The Nissan's engine is the smallest and least powerful: a 1.6-liter engine making 125 horsepower and 115 pound-feet of torque. The HR-V is next with a 1.8-liter engine making 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. The C-HR rounds out the trio at 144 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter engine.
Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
