This is a perfect entry level overlanding vehicle. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. Incredibly well-maintained by Performance Unlimited in Woodstock. All service up to date including the dreaded timing belt, new radiator, front CVs and rear e-locker mechanism. New Tom Wood rear draft as well. Radio does not work (antenna's missing), but cassette and CD players do and speakers work great.

Modifications:

Trail Gear winch bumper, rear bumper, nerfed rock sliders

8000 lb T-max winch with synthetic line

Full underbody skid-plating including Skid Row steering and radiator plate

Custom Performance Unlimited gas tank skid plate

Radio Shack CB radio with 4' whip antenna tuned perfectly

Five 15" aluminum wheels with five 33x10.5x15 BFG KM2s with 70--80% life left

Tacomas make for great daily driver wheeling rigs. We drove this truck to the San Juans in Colorado and back last year at 75 mph and wheeled every trail while we were there. The setup on this particular truck makes it possible to wheel very difficult trails without sacrificing on-road performance. Plus, all of the drivetrain components are stock so the truck is very inexpensive to maintain. Again, a great entry-level, one-stop-shopping overlanding/wheeling/daily driver vehicle.

Shipping is at buyer's expense, but I'm glad to help arrange it. $500 deposit upon conclusion of the auction. Truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
