Selling my 1997 Toyota Landcruiser: Don't have room to keep this anymore, really have enjoyed driving it (mostly highway mileage for last 25k miles) and a few couple trips to the Texas Gulf Coast:

The Good:

  • Front/Rear Locker - rare option and works great (interior controlled)
  • Rebuilt Head with approx 25k miles since replacement (approx $1100 in parts)
  • New Front/Rear rotors replaced within 15k miles, recently replaced brake pads
  • Engine runs very strong, excellent idle and freeway operation
  • All new EGR components - valve, soleniod (relocated to avoid damage from intake heat), temp sensor, modulator
  • Cruise Control works great
  • Car tracks straight, no drivability issues at freeway speed & below
  • Transmission shifts great, no problems
  • Airconditioning blows cold & heater works great
  • Towing Package - hitch with 5000lb capacity
  • Tires have good amount of tread on all 4 tires, low miles since purchase from Discount Tire (certificates included)

The Bad

  • Has oil leak from valve cover, I purchased complete gasket kit to fix & will include it in auction sale
  • Right rear quarter panel has large dent where a car backed into it
  • Font bumper is dented in after another car backed into it (previously replaced due to light front accident)
  • A/C Clutch making noise, still working but should probably be replaced
  • Two small surface rust spots (under driver side mirror & pasenger side windshield pillar)
  • Interior is decent for its age - but shows signs of the expected wear
  • Rim lip damage on passenger rear rim - full size spare rim could be used to swap out if desired
  • Top coolant return nipple repaired with patch, works fine and no leaks (just disclosing)
  • One cracked sensor housing repaired with patch, works fine (nothing wrong with manifold just plastic cracked)
  • Power seats not moving backward - motors move, looks to be issue with drive gear
  • Rear power locks not working, have to lock manually
  • No working key fobs included, just 2 full sized keys

Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.  It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,  and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.

Toyota Camry Hybrid SE adds a dash of limited-edition sport

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

For drivers who want to benefit from the increased efficiency of a hybrid sedan but who don't want to look like they'd rather be hugging trees, Toyota has just announced its 2014.5 Camry Hybrid SE Limited Edition.
The SE LTD combines the exterior bits and pieces that make the SE look sportier than other Camry models with the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, electric motor and nickel metal hydride battery pack of the Camry Hybrid. That means the Hybrid SE offers up 200 combined system horsepower to the front wheels, and we'd expect it to be rated at the same 40 miles per gallon city and 38 highway of the Camry XLE Hybrid.
Only 5,000 units will be produced between February and June of 2014, with an asking price of $27,845, which is about $700 more expensive than the base Camry Hybrid LE or $2,620 less than the Hybrid XLE that Toyota says shares a similar level of equipment. Sounds like a fair shake to us. Scroll down below for the complete press release.
