This listing is for my 1996 Toyota Tacoma. I am the original owner of this vehicle. It has 145k miles on it. It is currently in great working order.

It's never been in an accident, and the mechanical repairs over the years have been minimal. It's been dinged a few times in a parking lot a few times over the years, but nothing major.

I am selling it because I do not drive it much anymore, as I typically take my car to work. It has been primarily driven in Utah where I used to live. In 2010, I moved to Kansas where I currently live. Since that time, it hasn't been driven much other than to take it around the neighborhood or to drive it to the hardware store. In fact it hasn't been registered in Kansas even though I've lived here for almost 4 years. Shortly after we moved here, I purchased a car and have primarily driven it to and fro. Since I didn't drive it much, I never bothered to get it registered here in Kansas.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I will attempt to list everything that has happened to this truck since it was new: I have had the fuel pump replaced a couple of times - once in 2003, and again in 2007, as well as had the starter rebuilt about 10 yrs ago. But other than than, there has been no other needed mechanical repairs other than basic maintenance (tires, battery replacement, spark plugs, fluid replacement, etc.) There is a dent on the side of the bed on the passenger's side. I was hit in a parking lot about 10 years ago and never got it fixed. About 15 years ago, I was also hit in a parking lot and the original tailgate was damaged beyond repair. The current tailgate is an aftermarket product. I also never bothered to get the "TOYOTA" stenciling redone on the tailgate which is something that is standard for the 1996 model. The rear bumper was also damaged at the same time, but its damage appeared to be minimal, so I never bothered to fix it. You can see for yourself in the pictures.

It breaks my heart to sell it since I've had it for so long, but the practical side of me outweighs the emotional side of me. It just makes sense to sell it because the truck is not really adding any value by sitting there collecting dust. So, it's just time to sell it.

If you are interested in talking over the phone, please send me a note and we can arrange to talk. I will absolutely not turn over the keys or title until I have received a full payment or wire transfer that has been confirmed by my bank. Within 24 hours after the auction ends, I will require a $500 deposit. The rest will need to be paid within one week.

You are responsible to set up and pay for your own shipping arrangements. Having said that, I will attempt to be as accommodating as is reasonable, because I know it can't be too easy to ship a truck around the country.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Behold the mad genius of the Ferrari-powered Toyota 86

Thu, Jul 28 2016

Ryan Tuerck's latest project, a Toyota 86 with the F136 V8 engine from a Ferrari 458, has to be one of craziest projects ever envisioned. While the finished project will be nothing short of extraordinary, Tuerck reveals some of the finer details on fitting a large Italian engine into a small Japanese car. One of the most difficult tasks with the engine swap is getting the V8 to fit in the 86's compact engine compartment. Since the V8 is taller and longer than the stock 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, Tuerck and his team have had to do a lot of cutting and fabricating. Tuerck also revealed that the vehicle wouldn't be used in competition, which allows the team to go beyond the rulebook in terms of body strengthening and custom components. There's still a lot of work to be done, but Tuerck claims the vehicle will be ready by October. Donut Media, the YouTube channel that is covering the build, promises to cover every aspect of the project including the first start, which should be coming soon.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.

2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

People, us included, make a big stink about the importance of family sedans. There's no doubt they're critical - they represent a huge slice of the market's annual sales and profits. However, despite accounting for far fewer transactions than the midsize sedan segment, the fullsize sedan is getting attention from manufacturers now that our market's entire lineup of those (slightly) smaller four-doors has turned over in the last two years or so. As most of the fullsize segment's mainstays derive a fair bit of their platform and powertrain technologies from their midsize cousins, these larger four-doors offer the potential for fatter profit margins, too. And with the newly stylish duds found on many of the industry's most successful midsize sedans, it's only right that automakers no longer think about fullsizers as big, squishy, vanilla family haulers with flat seats, vague steering and a thin layer of 'luxury' in the form of faux wood trim.
As manufacturers have again started diving into large sedans feet-first, the cars themselves have become sharper. The interiors are now of a higher quality and loaded with tech, while the exteriors have become further extensions of each manufacturer's design language. There's perhaps no greater example of this than the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus, two models that evolved from subpar offerings into market leaders. This segment-wide transformation happened quite quickly, whether because of coincidental timing or because manufacturers are trying to get more out of their big cars, recognizing they account for a small portion of overall sales (just 3.5 percent of the new-car market in the first half of 2013).
The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is one such vehicle. We remarked on the changes to the V6 variant last year, and while we previously had a quick steer of the gas-electric hybrid, we figured the new model was worth a closer week-long look.
