1996 Toyota Tacoma Reg Cab 4x4 2.7l Manual Trans No Rust But Some Issues Read on 2040-cars
Alum Bank, Pennsylvania, United States

We are selling our 1996 Tacoma. Here is it's story.
We purchased this truck at auction about two years ago. It was owned by a public entity (can't remember which one) in Roanoke, VA. Thus, a southern truck and no rust. It was advertised as needing a clutch. We put in the clutch and put it on the road. The tach works but the speedometer reads 3-4 times faster than you are actually driving, and odometer adds up miles accordingly. So the 195,000 miles may be accurate, or may be inflated by the speedometer issue, we don't know. I have searched and searched and can't find an instrument cluster to replace the existing one. The truck has a cable from the tranny to the instruments, but nearly all I see advertised for this year are from the 4Runner, which appears to NOT have the attachment for the cable. I asked at my local salvage yard, they looked it up in their book, and said the 95, and 96 were the same for the Tacoma, but finding one is not easy. So I am selling it as is, and you get to do the hunting for the cluster. Overall the truck is in pretty good shape. Like I said earlier, it's 18 years old. There are dings and dents and scratches you can see in the picts. It will make a great runner with a little fixing. No rust which is a killer, and a Toyota, which is a winner. Not many frills on it. Manual doors and windows. Split rear window. Bed liner. Standard bumpers which are a little bent here and there. Tires are fair. They don't need to be replaced now, but they are not new. There was no interior carpet, and the seat was trashed, so we went to the local salvage yard and bought the seat and carpet out of a 94. It looks pretty good, but there are some stains. I will get picts of the interior up soon. A couple of other issues. We don't have a key to lock the doors. The key we were given works on the ignition, but not on the doors. Beware locking yourself out! . . . A guy bumped me last January at the polling place. We fixed the cracked valence and corner light with new ones, but the windshield washer resevore will need to be repaired or replaced. All in all it is a good truck. I wouldn't mind keeping it, but circumstances find me with 3 trucks and a car right now, and I need to move a few on to new owners. I did some research and the other '96 Tacomas I found went for over $5000. At this point, I have about that in it, but like I said, need to move some extra vehicles. Starting the auction at $3000. No Reserve. Bid like you mean it. Email with questions. Thanks for looking. |

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

2015 Toyota Camry targeting 'more emotional' design
Sun, 19 Jan 2014There are many ways to describe the Toyota Camry: "comfortable," "economical," "affordable," "reliable" and "dull as a bucket of mayonnaise" would all be accurate. It's this last one that the Japanese brand is seeking to change. While we aren't expecting it to suddenly sprout a high-revving V8, a rear-drive layout or razor-sharp handling, a report from Bloomberg suggests we should at least expect a more evocative design from one of the best-selling cars in the country.
The next Camry update, due for 2015, should have a "more emotional, more impactful design," says Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio. That's according to Bloomberg, who caught up with the styling boss at this week's Detroit Auto Show. "Camry's taken some hits on styling, but it's still selling well. But we need to create better design for Camry in the future."
