      Up for auction is a heavily modified 2010 Toyota Tundra.  I am the only owner this truck has ever had.  I am single and the passenger and rear seats have rarely been used, as can be seen in the pics provided.  The rear seats have been folded and kept out of sunlight the majority of time.  The leather on the driver seat is nearly perfect as well and does not have any tears or sign of wear.  There are no scuffs, scratches, or stains anywhere throughout the interior.  I am a part-time detailer and the exterior has been clay barred 3 times and waxed 4 times in the trucks short lifespan.  The paint is smooth as glass with a mirror finish.  There are the typical light scratches that can be seen up close associated with any vehicle that's been driven, but no dents, deep scratches, or body damage whatsoever.  The truck is my secondary vehicle and I've gone to great lengths to keep it immaculate.  It has never been in an accident, nor has it been serviced for any problems other than an O2 sensor that was replaced. The tires have roughly 75% tread left and I just had the truck aligned this past week.

        The truck puts out over 400 HP and 400 Lbs of torque with the larger gears and Cold Air Intake that have been added.  It's capable of going farther than most factory 4x4's thanks to insane clearance, extra torque, and EXCELLENT gripping from high-quality tires.  You must be social to own this beast!!!  My detailing customer agreed that this truck grabs more attention than his Ferrari F430 Spider.  I was approached by 6 people while taking pics for this ad alone.  I never go anywhere without receiving thumbs-up or being approached with compliments and questions about the truck.  I'm constantly being asked for rides in it by children and adults alike.  

       This was my first truck build.  It was only touched by 2 professionals and no expenses were spared.  Everything was done top-notch by 2 excellent mechanics who are also personal friends.  Unlike buying a vehicle from a dealer or multi-owner, you are bidding on a 1-owner truck that was greatly cared for and whose entire vehicle history can be provided to you.  The only reason this truck is being sold is due to my mother recently needing more financial assistance from me for the time being.  Therefore I am forced to sell my truck with a heavy heart. I will be happy to answer any questions from bidders and provide additional pics as well.  Despite the immaculate care and large fortune sunk into it, the reserve has been set lower than I've seen stock Tundras of the same year sold for on here in recent weeks.  Happy bidding!!!

Toyota TRD Pro lineup coming next week

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.

Half of Chinese car buyers won't shop Japanese over hard feelings

Mon, May 26 2014

The hard feelings between China and Japan is no real secret. Besides modern-day disputes, the two countries have had a long-running enmity that dates back to well before the atrocities of World War II. All things considered, then, it shouldn't be a shock that half of Chinese car buyers wouldn't consider a Japanese car. This survey, conducted by Bernstein Research, found that 51 percent of 40,000 Chinese consumers wouldn't even consider a Japanese car – which, again, isn't really surprising, when you consider stories like this. According to Bernstein, the most troubling thing is the location of these sentiments – smaller, growing cities where the population is going to need sets of wheels. We imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue in traffic-clogged Shanghai or Beijing, but these small cities are going to become a major focus for automakers. "Nationalistic feelings are an impediment. [Japanese] premium brands will struggle," analyst Max Warburton wrote in a research note, according to The Wall Street Journal. Things will improve for Japanese makes, although China will remain a challenge, with Warburton writing, "the one thing that comes out most clearly is that most Chinese really want a German car. While we expect Japanese brands to continue to recover market share this year, ultimately the market will belong to the Germans." There are a few other insights from the study. According to WSJ, Japanese brands are viewed better than Korean brands, and they're seen as more comfortable than the offerings from Germany or the US, despite the fact that everyone in China apparently wants a German car. This is a tough position for the Japanese makes to be in, as there's really not a lot they can do to win favor with Chinese buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly as the importance of the PRC continues to increase year after year.
