Rugged, simple, reliable and fun.  Add to that room to spare and you may have the ultimate sport utility vehicle.  As a flagship model, the Land Cruiser always served to demonstrate Toyota’s engineering and design talents.  I think they really nailed it with the FJ60-62 series.  Outdoor enthusiasts certainly admire this vehicle.  It’s a timeless design, kind of like a Swiss Army knife.

This vehicle has led a privileged life.  Always garaged, always maintained at the Toyota dealership.  As anyone who is a fan of the FJ series knows, they are prone to rust.  That makes the originality and meticulous care of this one all the more cherished.  Maintenance overall has been top shelf.  The previous owner took care of some problem areas around the wheel wells and they have held up nicely. 

The color of this FJ62 is called Beige Metallic.  This certainly was consistent with the Safari intentions of the original series.  Appropriately, it is almost exactly the same color as dirt that dries after spending some time on a county access road.  Pretty clever and suits the vehicle well!  The inside is the tan and brown color combination.  Overall, it is in excellent driver condition.  The carpet, dash, rear panels all demonstrate the care this prized possession has received.

Along with a warm cozy place to rest at night, the legendary inline 6 2F motor has sipped only the finest vintages.  Lucas additives were used occasionally and the previous owner is not at all a fan of ethanol.  Fortunately, we have some pure gas options in the area and he always sought them out.   It’s been given the care necessary to demonstrate its tractor-like tenacity and durability.  I have no doubt it will serve up many more miles of fun and adventure.

This is the last model year for the highly regarded FJ60 series.  Last model years like the Grand Wagoneer and the Mercedes SL series typically command the highest collector values.  I guess only time will tell with this one, but it certainly stands as testament to Toyota’s much deserved legacy.

The FJ62 is geared to be more accommodating at highway speeds and has a few other refinements that forecast the direction this flagship model would eventually go in the efforts to stay ahead of the pack.  Fortunately, it did if from the same handsome sheet metal lines and with the same purposeful ruggedness.  What other vehicle was designed to hit a rock at 60 mph without incident?  Exactly, not many and probably none does it better.

There are a few issues the new owner may want to take care of.  The driver’s seat has a tear on the side in the vinyl section.  The cloth insert in the same area is starting to separate.  Both are because the foam is a showing its age.  Aftermarket seat covers are readily available.  The vinyl section could be easily replaced by an upholstery shop.  So, you may just want to preserve the originals.

The mud guard on the passenger front tire is gone.  So too is the rocker panel trim piece.  They were lost when backing out of a snow bank – a badge of honor earned the right way!  These parts can be easily sourced at dealerships or online.  The new owner will also want to put on a new set of tires, at least before next winter.  These issues have been factored into the reserve price.

Out of respect to all bidders and the auction process, I will not reveal the reserve price.  It is set at a very reasonable price, well below the level at which she is likely to earn bids.  Please bid the amount you are comfortable spending on the vehicle.

I’ve tried to describe and capture through photos the vehicle in great detail.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call.  My cell is (816) 786-7534. 

Load up your friends, family, some camping gear fishing poles or bikes and take this thing for another adventure.  It is eager to accommodate!  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.

Toyota teases mysterious RND Concept

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Toyota is being very secretive about its newly teased RND Concept. The image above is all that the Japanese automaker is showing at the moment, and it's not much to go by. However, the wait to find out won't be very long, as the automaker is unveiling this very mysterious vehicle on January 26 in the UK. Making the RND even more intriguing is that this isn't just a concept pointing the way towards some nebulous future vehicle. Toyota claims that the model is production ready, and the automaker already has pricing, supply and manufacturing space prepared. We likely shouldn't expect a super luxury sedan or sports coupe, though, because Toyota says that the RND is meant for "the widest possible market." Could it possibly be some sort of inexpensive, electric vehicle like the Renault Twizy, then? With just the hind of a taillight, a slash of chrome and what might be an intake, there's not much styling work to go on here. Although, Toyota is making huge promises about the design; it claims the RND "has the potential to transform the look of every vehicle on the road." It's odd to see an automaker other than Tesla reveal a new vehicle outside of a major world auto show, which piques our interest about what Toyota is doing here. Read the company's press release below and let us know what you think the Japanese automaker is up to in Comments. THE NEW TOYOTA RND CONCEPT: SNEAK PREVIEW First details of new model released ahead of world debut next week Toyota is breaking with motor industry convention by revealing a new product outside the familiar surroundings of an international motor show. Instead its new RND Concept will make its world debut in the UK on 26th January, ready for fast-track development that should see it changing the face of motoring within weeks. The first image released today hints at how the concept's design marks a radical shift in direction for Toyota, taking the "fun-to-drive" qualities of its cars to a higher level. Although presented as a concept, Toyota acknowledges the RND will be unveiled in its production-ready form. Manufacturing and product supply have been secured and on-the-road pricing has been fixed at a level that will make the RND Concept accessible to the widest possible market. Toyota is confident, too, that the RND Concept's impact will go far beyond its own model range, having the potential to transform the look of every vehicle on the road.

Ford tops GM in US vehicle sales in May, driven by fleets

Thu, Jun 1 2017

DETROIT - Ford, bolstered by heavy sales to fleet customers, surpassed General Motors in US new vehicle sales in May, according to figures reported Thursday. Ford said May sales rose 2.2 percent from a year ago to 241,126 units. GM sales dropped 1.3 percent to 237,364. GM said it had been trimming sales of heavily discounted vehicles to car rental companies. Such fleet sales made up about 19 percent of its total sales in May. Ford's fleet sales rose 8.4 percent, representing more than 34 percent of total sales. The industry average is around 20 percent. Analysts had expected mixed results for the industry, with sales likely propped up by heavy discounts. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said May sales dipped 0.9 percent to 193,040. Toyota's US sales dropped 0.5 percent to 218,248. Nissan said US sales in May rose 3.0 percent, to 137,471. After demand fell in March and April, analysts estimated May sales at just over 1.5 million. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales in May was estimated at 16.8 million to 16.9 million vehicles, about the same as April. A year earlier, sales stood at 17.55 million vehicles. Early reports indicated that sales over the three-day Memorial Day weekend were helped by heavy discounts. "While demand for new vehicles is still relatively strong, it's a bit of smoke and mirrors," said Jessica Caldwell, executive director of industry analysis at Edmunds, the car shopping website. Manufacturers and dealers "really pushed the deals over the holiday weekend to prop up their May numbers," she said. "Incentives were up sharply, and it seems automakers are putting more cash on the hood to nudge car shoppers to buy versus lease." General Motors dealers were offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the full-size Chevrolet Silverado pickup, while some dealer discounts on Ford Motor Co's F-series pickups were more than $10,000 on 2017 models and more than $14,000 on leftover 2016 models. The 2017 model year started eight months ago. Reporting by Paul LienertRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
