I have put about about 15,000 miles on this truck since buying it from a large re-constructor dealership. Everything about the truck has been 100% except the gas gauge. It shows about 75-80% after filling the tank, then drops faster than you know is actually happening. The Toyota dealer's mechanic tells me this is likely either a defective gauge or defective sending unit. Defective gauge means removing the dash to get at the unit, defective sending unit means dropping the gas tank and replacing or cleaning the sending unit (he said sometimes a bit of grit may stick in the unit and cause improper performance). Hunting this down and correcting it was not and is not consonant with the goal of obtaining a very nice truck at a bargain price. The trip meter is a simple way to follow gas usage and remaining fuel--probably more accurate than gauge needles which, in my experience, on most cars are rather optimistic until you're really low. I'm averaging 19 mpg and my general motoring objective is to make time (75-80 mph cruising) not mpg. I am starting a big add-on job to my house this summer and feel a need for a bigger truck, otherwise would keep this one--it's been great and I've put a lot of money into improvements: ~$1200 aftermarket audio (Kenwood Excelon head unit with HD radio, Pandora. iPod, USB, Bluetooth, handsfree phone with mic, Infinity Kappa speakers all around, Boss powered subwoofer); $300 TonnoPro tonneau--a great unit without the d--- snaps, easy roll up or roll down at any temperature, no ribs left in place to remove and stow in order to clear your load; ~$900 hi-end Firestone Destination tires about 5000 miles ago, quiet and long-wearing, Tire Rack top-rated, best high-performance all-season tire for light trucks where wet and snow traction are primary; hydraulic soft open tailgate; ~$300 true HID headlights and foglights. New brake pads and regular oil changes.
People often think a Rebuilt Titled vehicle is something taboo or not dependable, and most banks reinforce this idea by refusing to finance them. However, the banks (the large regional or national chains, not necessarily small neighborhood banks, which typically hold their own notes) are actually re-selling their notes/loans to other investors and it is the aftermarket they are re-selling to that never sees the vehicles and wants only "standard" investments. Any Credit Union and most small neighborhood banks will be happy to do business with you on this vehicle, but, if you ask a large national chain (e.g, Citibank or Chase etc.) you are likely to be turned away. Insurance companies "write off" easily repaired vehicles (as well as truelly "totaled" and wrecked vehicles) rather than pay out for typically months of rental vehicle usage by the insured while they wait for scheduling and repairs, and then may still refuse to accept the repair ("owner refusal" is a standard part of most insurance contracts). Rebuilders skim off the best (easiest fixed) of the write-offs offered for sale to them by the insurance companies and typically only have to unbolt crumpled parts, bolt on new parts, and do some painting. Most re-builders value their rebuilt at about 2/3 or 70% of dealer book value--a huge savings for the knowledgeable consumer. Kelly Blue Book Dealer value of this Tacoma is $26,550 as I write this ($28,440 Dealer Certified). Do the math--I'm giving you an even better deal (and my substantial improvements--audio, HID, tires, tonneau--are gifts), that's why it's "Buy It Now" at a firm price. |

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs
Thu, Jun 3 2021We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy  2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.
Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
