Great Toyota Truck 4-banger w/ manual transmission for sale. This truck was a desert truck brought to the coast about one year ago, so rust free body. It is lots of fun around town and will go highway speeds with great gas mileage. The truck body is straight and sound, dent free, and the engine was replaced (or rebuilt) and has many new parts. Bought from previous owner who needed an automatic for his wife, now I need to upgrade for a larger vehicle. Runs, drives, and looks great considering its age. 

NO RESERVE!
(see similar from $2250-$4750)

Year: 1988
Model: short-bed pick-up; 4 cylinder
Transmission: manual, 2wd
Engine: the incredible 22r!
Tires: oversized with lots of tread

GOOD: replaced original bench seat with two racing bucket seats in great condition (bench seat also included); two new speakers and brand new stereo head unit with USB and AUX; clutch is smooth and never gives any problems; gears all work great; starts and runs every time (occasionally needs two or three early morning turns of the key after sitting); new tailgate net (metal gate and hardware included- gate came off later model but works); new rear taillights; brand new windshield wipers; NO leaks or oil burn; recent black bed liner; recent body spray gray (not perfect but looks good); recent interior black liner spray; new rubber mats. All around good reliable vehicle! These are undoubtedly the most reliable trucks ever built and will last forever (look online at reviews or just look around the streets and you'll see they are still everywhere because they run forever). Passed smog no problem 3 months ago- if sold to CA resident will come with new smog certificate. 

NOT AS GOOD: just light wear and tear considering a 25 year old truck. Odometer is incorrect, a previous owner replaced engine and/or engine rebuild- he reported around 145,000 miles on engine since then. This model has air-conditioner which turns on but needs repair. Not a power steering model, but good alignment. Random increases in temperature- only happens some days- I believe it needs either a new thermostat or coolant bleed as it has a new radiator (common issue) but I'm not a mechanic and don't know for sure. 

All around great condition old truck that runs great. Would love to keep as a second toy but have a motorcycle and just purchased new vehicle for commute to work. This toy must go. 

Also listed locally. 

Please email any questions. Sold "as is". Take to a local mechanic if you want professional review BEFORE buying only.
(Auto check rates low based on high mileage on body, even though lower mileage engine, and I don't know about the 'minor incident' as this truck has no evidence of any accident.)

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.

Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?

Mon, 02 Sep 2013

When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
