2001 Toyota Tundra Limited Extended Cab Pickup 4-door 4.7l ***supercharger*** on 2040-cars
Davis, California, United States
|
I am the third owner of this vehicle, but it has a fascinating provenance! The original owner was a Toyota Dealer in Virginia who called up the factory and ordered a 2001 Tundra with every available option. That is why this vehicle has the leather, double-din premium sound stereo, walnut trim, and all the other goodies. When the vehicle arrived at the dealer, he sent it to his TRD mechanic and told him to put every available TRD option on the vehicle. They installed the OEM Supercharger, 9th fuel injector system, K&N Filter and intake system, Range Rover transmission with cooler to handle the 12,000 pound towing capacity, tow package, and a range of other options. All were done correctly and according to Toyota OEM standards so the vehicle passes smog with no modifications or problems! The guy I bought it from purchased it directly from the original owner with about 40k miles on it and drove it to Sacramento because of a job offer, but when he got here the pay wasn't as good as advertised and he ran into Tax difficulties, so he sold the truck to me. I registered it and paid the CA use fees and all that DMV crap you have to go through here in CA. I have always had it serviced by Toyota Dealers and have kept all receipts. There were two recalls for the vehicle that I was made aware of and both were completed by Toyota Dealers, except for the second one which upon inspection did not need to be completed. I've driven the vehicle to and from work in the Bay Area and have put lots and lots of freeway miles on it, but I think I've activated the 4WD maybe twice in snow in So. Lake Tahoe, so it has never been really off-roaded. I replaced all four Bilstein shocks last year and the K&N Filter at the same time. I've replaced all of the O2 sensors and the Mass Air Flow sensor in the last year because of a nagging "Check Engine" light that keeps coming on, but my mechanic has not been able to find any real problem even after replacing all of those, and the vehicle runs fine, so I'm not sure what that is about. I'll figure it out shortly. The windshield was replaced three years ago after a rock cracked it. The Transmission was flushed last month. I put $1200 worth of Goodyear 80k mile tires on it two years ago and have religiously rotated them and changed the oil every 6k miles. I think that's it, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Toyota builds world's first 'outdoor website' for RAV4 promo
Thu, 08 Aug 2013This whole thing started with the premise that Toyota's target RAV4 buyers are people who spend their time cycling, hiking, and generally not in front of computer screens. These people are therefore not able to benefit from the full website experience that Toyota has built for the RAV4. We should clarify that the video below is for Toyota South Africa, and maybe RAV4 buyers there really are the disgustingly outdoorsy ideal that us bacon-eaters are not living up to.
Toyota's agency partner, Hello Computer, set up a 1.8-kilometer track at a cycle park that replicated sections of the automaker's website with real physical displays and interactive feedback. Riders were asked to leave their mouses and hit the trail on a mountain bike to experience the RAV4 Outdoor Website and learn about the vehicle.
That seems like a lot of effort for something that's available on the smartphones of these hyper-active people who aren't in front of computers, but hooray for creatively conquering a problem that didn't exist. Hey, let's not be complete wet blankets - maybe some of the cyclists that ran the Toyota gauntlet got a RAV4 for their to- and fro-ing after the experience. Check out the video of the outdoor website below.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
