I am selling my 2010 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, 4x4. I am the original owner of this truck. It is in Excellent working condition. 


There is alot to cover on this truck, so I'm going to start by telling you a bit about myself. I am 31 years old, single, non-smoker, with no children. I am a truck driver by trade...(Peterbilt's, Kenworth's, etc..) I am also a bit of a shade-tree mechanic. Working on, and driving vehicles is my passion, and it is a big part of my life. I have worked on 100's of vehicles in my life, and have owned over a dozen cars and trucks, a dozen motorcycles, and many other motorized toys, boats, snowmobiles, jet-ski's, etc.

I bought this Toyota brand new in 2010. It sat in a garage in Montana for the first year of its life, while I was on the road working. The truck is titled in Montana. The title is clean, and I have it in my hand. I would come home every couple weeks and install various parts I had purchased. It was a project for most of that first year. The idea when I bought the truck was to run a true 35" tire, while keeping the truck -and the center of gravity- as low as possible. Ground clearance without sacrificing handling. I did everything myself except for the front springs, where I needed some help from the dealership. All oil changes, tire rotations, driveshaft lubrication, bumper installations, topper, bedrug, wheels, tires... I have done myself. 

This is not my first truck, but it is without a doubt my best. I love this truck, and it really is the culmination of all my driving experience, wrapped into a package that I believe is one of the toughest, most reliable, and best looking trucks on the road. It does everything well, and really falls short nowhere. It has the speed and handling for Interstate trips, the clearance and 4x4 needed for off-road excursions, the towing/load-hauling capability, reliability... I can go on and on... all I can say is that to me, a professional driver, this is the perfect setup. 

A tough financial situation is forcing the sale of this truck. It's not something I want to do. The truck is in San Diego with me now. It has been here in California for most of its life, after I moved here 2 years ago. It has never been a daily driver. It has been used mostly used for road trips, camping trips, or surfing trips, up and down the west coast, and in the western states. 


Here's what has been added to the truck:

1) $3500 - SnugTop Super Sport Topper, with factory added Yakima roof-rack, ignition-independent LED lighting, Fold-down/sliding front window and a Pro-Lock glass rear door ... which can be locked from both the outside, or inside if you are camping.

2) $2750 - 35x12.50 R20 Toyo M/T Tires, mounted on 20" KMC Rockstar aluminum wheels. (The stock tire/wheel on this truck was  33" on 18"... so it is a minor +2" step up in both wheel size, and tire height... also adding an extra 2" of width, adding ~1" to both the inside and outside of the wheel center. 

3) $300 - ARB/OME Heavy Coil Springs and Nitrogen OME Shocks up front. These were necessary to both support the weight of the front bumper, and to clear the larger tires. They greatly improved the ride, handling, and looks of the truck as well. No dive under braking, and very little sway from side to side. The rear suspension is totally stock, and the truck is perfectly level.

4) $2250 - ARB Deluxe Front Winch Bumper. You can find info on this at ARB's website. They are the best, crash tested, and airbag approved. This bumper weighs over 200 pounds and it is solid steel. Safe to say you will be driving away from most front end collisions. The factory foglight housings are mounted in the bumper and use the factory switch in the cab... all stock... the bulbs are different but I will cover this later under lighting. This bumper has provisions to mount a winch, although I never bothered.

5) $1300 - Expedition One Rear Bumper. This bumper is solid 3/16" steel as well. Very sturdy and safe to say the truck will remain drivable, with minimal damage, after a low to medium speed rear end collision. There are 2 heavy-duty attachment points and lights mounted in the bumper (which I will go over later).

6) $100 - Optima Yellow Deep Cycle Battery. These are the best batteries. Deep Cycle allows you to run it all the way down, and charge it back up many times, without damaging the battery.

7) Installed WeatherTech In-Channel window deflectors above the 4 cab windows. They fit great, work great, look great. No sticky tape, no mess.

8) WeatherTech Floor-mats up front, and a HuskyLiner 1-Piece floor liner across the entire rear floor. These floor mats catch and hold water, sand, and mud. The carpet/flooring underneath is just like new. 

9) Lighting: Sylvannia SilverStar Ultra headlight bulbs for both high and low beams. JDM Yellow fog light bulbs, factory wattage, installed in the factory fog-light housing. 5W ARB orange front parking lights. White LED lighting in camper shell. 4" Truck-Lite LED lights mounted in rear bumper and on with parking lights (these are the best and very bright LED lights like you see on the best of the big 18-wheelers). 

10) Locking gas cap. 

11) Factory Security System has been activated.

12) $200 - LED Lighted and Heated Telescoping Tow Mirrors w/ turn signal indicators. Had the dealer add these premium mirrors during the sale.

13) $500 - BedRug. Padded and carpeted BedRug is installed with hook and loop fasteners. Removable. Marine-Grade carpet. Check the BedRug website for info. Color matches topper and interior.


Here's what has NOT been modified on the truck (some things are best left alone):

Everything under the hood is stock except for the battery. The engine, transmission, transfer case, drivelines, gears, front and rear axles, are all stock. Nothing has ever been touched or worked on. No modifications to the intake, exhaust, rear suspension, body, or frame of the truck. No modifications to the electrical system. The interior is all factory stock except for the floor-mats. There is no window tinting film on the truck of any kind.


Extra Info:

1) Oil has been changed every 5K miles. I used Mobil One full-synthetic 0W-20 (factory spec) and Toyota filters. Tire rotations and driveshaft lubrication with synthetic grease have been done at roughly the same intervals. I have a file on my computer where I keep track of all the maintenance intervals... you will get a copy with the truck. 

2) The stereo has a factory 1/8" jack connector, for playing music from iPods/iPhones or whatever.

3) Everything locks. Factory alarm/key-fob, locking gas-cap, locking rear glass, locking Yakima roof-rack, keyed wheel locks on all 20 lugs... comes with two sets of keys for everything.
 
4) Truck comes with an oil filter wrench/tool in the glove box. You will need it to do oil changes.

5) Factory orange daytime running lights, fog lamps.

6) Cold Weather Package: heavy duty starter, heated mirrors, wiper de-icer.

7) Tow Package: 10,300 lbs., transmission cooler, 4.30 rear end with 10.5" ring gear, 150 Amp upgraded alternator, trans temp gauge, more...



Condition:

This truck is in 100% operational and functional excellent condition. Everything works. Everything has been cleaned, tuned, and adjusted properly. 

This truck is in 90% like new cosmetic condition. It has no major dents or damage of any kind. No door dings. Some minor rock chips... some touched up, some not. The bumpers are black painted steel, and they have been touched up in a few places... either from minor bumps and dings from city parking, or from minor scratches and scrapes with bushes when off-roading... the best thing about steel bumpers is they never need to be replaced, just sanded and sprayed. I like how they look and they give the truck a rugged appearance. The wheels are in great condition.

The brakes are about ~30% worn. They have plenty of life left and are in great condition. 

The tires are in great condition, no leaks or sidewall cuts/blisters. These tires have about 30K miles on them and have plenty of life left. I would say they have a little less than 50% tread remaining. I would expect them to last until around 45-50K miles.

Fluid levels are topped up and nothing leaks. Coolant is bright green. Oil is clear. Brake fluid is clear. Power steering fluid is good. Washer fluid ok. Everything is good.

Price: 
 
KBB for this truck is around for a private party sale. 

The truck was purchased new for $32,510. I have invested somewhere around $10,000 into parts and equipment. 

I am starting the auction at the highest price offered to me by a wholesaler here in San Diego... but I am expecting this truck to sell somewhere around $27,500.


DELIVERY BONUS:

If you live in the western US (West of the Mississippi River), I will deliver this truck for free. Fly out here, check it out, and if you want, I will drive it to your house. Whatever you want to do, we can work it out.


This truck is beautiful and I get people stopping to say "nice truck" or take pictures every time I drive it!

Thanks and good luck with the auction :-)

Toyota finds profit in Europe thanks to hybrid sales

Thu, Jun 5 2014

In the land of diesel, Toyota appears to be making money its own way and thereby making more of it. The Japanese automaker is taking on Europe's diesel-centric ways by substantially boosting sales of hybrids on the continent. That, along with cost cutting measures, has increased the company's European profitability, Automotive News says, citing recent remarks by Toyota's European operations chief Didier Leroy. Toyota, which lost money in Europe between 2008 and 2011, started turning things around two years ago by cutting labor at places like UK factories while consolidating production of models such as the Auris and Yaris hybrid vehicles. During the most recently completed financial year, Toyota Europe reported earnings that were up 75 percent from the year before, despite revenue being up just five percent. The company also aims to sell at least 1 million vehicles in Europe by next year and is boosting sales in countries like Russia. Late last year, Didier told Bloomberg News that Toyota's European market share was rising about one percentage point a year, while production at Toyota's factories in countries like France, Turkey and the UK were running at full capacity. Toyota estimated at the time that hybrids accounted for about a fifth of Toyota's European sales.

Tesla now California's top automotive employer

Fri, 16 May 2014

Tesla has knocked off Toyota as the biggest auto employer in the state of California, employing over 6,000 people to the Japanese company's 5,300. That lead is only likely to grow, as the EV manufacturer prepares to add another 500 jobs by the end of the year, and as Toyota begins its relocation to its new North American headquarters in Texas. The news comes barely a week after the company announced a $50 million loss during the first quarter of 2014.
Tesla's statewide employment could be set to double, beyond even 6,500 people, if it follows through on rumors to construct its eagerly awaited gigafactory in the Golden State. The $5-billion venture could add another 6,500 employees, making Tesla not just the largest automotive employer in the state, but making it one of the largest employers in the state full stop.
The investment of Tesla and its founder (and real-life Tony Stark), Elon Musk, has been substantial. The company has added 3,000 employees in the state since 2013, reopening the Toyota and General Motors joint-venture factory that use to be known as NUMMI in 2009 and constructing a design studio in Los Angeles, all in addition to its Palo Alto headquarters.

Akio Toyoda pledges return to WRC in 2017 with a Yaris

Sat, Jan 31 2015

There have been rumors of Toyota returning to the World Rally Championship since the end of 2013, and a Yaris prepped by Toyota Motorsport in Germany has been caught on The Continent several times last year in testing. Akio Toyoda visited Rally Finland while we were there with Hyundai to watch a race up close, and he said that the passion people still had for Toyota's past exploits encouraged him. He finally answered the question about when they planned to enter the series, announcing in Tokyo that they'd line up for the season in 2017. The Japanese company, a legend in rallying, got into the sport in 1979 and left in 1999 after winning seven titles in ten years through the nineties with Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen. The 2017 return is likely due to the regulation changes that year to allow more power than the roughly 300-horsepower in today's challengers and the switch to a fuel-flow formula to let manufacturers use different kinds of engines. Toyota has been sitting in on the WRC rules meetings, and the final slate of changes will be announced at the end of this year. The Yaris that's been testing is powered by a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder that meets current regulations, but we can expect it to change somewhat before it's race-ready. TMG will test the car for the next two years, then it will go up against fellow manufacturers Volkswagen, Hyundai, and Citroen, as well as Fords run by M-Sport. There's video of the Yaris running solo through the Belgian countryside above, and a gallery of the coming car below.
