Those who “know” know that this is a special machine.  Manual shifting bliss in a duty grade off-road vehicle.  Late 3rd generation 4Runner, built in Japan, frame-based, cast iron block, cast aluminum heads, locking differential – and a smooth quiet ride that’s great on highway.  Found a older low-miles BMW X5 with manual so I’m taking one more turn in the 3-pedaled 4wd suv fantasy world.   

 

I drive my cars and motorcycles gingerly and civilly, let them warm before loading engine, go slow and easy on the shifter to let the synchs figure it out on their schedule, use synth oil, dodge bumps, blip throttle when shifting to preserve clutch, brake with foresight, etc.  – and it has been babied on highways and flat city roads and not off-road (ok, I’m embarrassed) .  You can feel it - truck starts perfectly, consumes no oil, idles smoothly, doesn't clunk or rattle over bumps, etc.  It is impressive and has been a fantastic vehicle – it is a survivor.  Have original manuals.  It’s fantastic to drive – no deficits on highway, smooth pedals, tracks straight, no play in steering.  Have original trunk shade, spare, jack.

 

My records are spotty due to a disorganized divorce (and owner), but I have the basics.  I bought it in 2004 with 80K miles on it.  New clutch around 120K miles.  It recently got new mass air flow sensor, plug wires/plugs, timing belt, radiator and valve cover gaskets.  Interstate battery with some tread left.  Sunroof never had probs and works fine in both modes.  AC blows cold and has never had an issue.

 

Issues you’d see/notice if you came and drove it:

Backed into a small/stealthy/solid crepemyrtle tree and received dent/slight bend in rear bumper and tailgate.  Once had minor collision with a suburban back bumper and received new front side panels, radiator, bumper, and lights from State Farm (original hood with its original paint is present and undamaged – car came out looking mucho better actually).  Passenger back quarterpanel has a dent.  Paint is in good shape – car spent a lot of its time in garage.  Tires are way-past-due Michelins but they don’t vibrate and have been excellent.  A couple of small cig burns in seat and floor carpet but absolutely no cig odor (cracked window and non-recirc make this possible).  Leaks a bit of oil but you don’t see it on ground – only an odor.  This truck has never required addition of oil between changes.  Reverse lights and dome lights intermittent.  Cassette and backlight out on radio.  Electric antenna struggling. 

 

Questions welcome.  Good luck bidding.  I hate to sell it.

Toyota recalling 1.67 million vehicles worldwide in 3 campaigns

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Toyota is issuing three separate recalls covering 1.67 million vehicles worldwide with most of those models in Japan. It looks like the campaigns' impact on the US may be smaller, though. According to Reuters, Toyota isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities affecting the models. Some yet-unnamed Lexus models might also be affected.
The largest of the campaigns does not currently affect any US-market vehicles. About 802,000 units of the Toyota Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy in Japan are being repaired to replace a seal that could leak in the brake master cylinder. Those already leaking get a new brake booster, as well, according to Reuters.
The only recall currently believed to affect the US is due to a problem covering approximately 759,000 vehicles with 423,000 of them here. The repair is to fix a faulty fuel delivery pipe that could cause a fire if the fuel leaks out. Unfortunately, we don't know which models it covers. Autoblog spoke to Toyota spokesperson Mona Richard and was told the information was still "under embargo." When exactly that embargo will lift isn't yet known, but we're on the case.

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Volvos earn IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Tue, Oct 2 2018

It's time for another round-up of recent IIHS crash tested cars. The trio this time include the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, 2019 Volvo XC90 and 2018 Volvo S90. All three have earned one of the highest ratings from the IIHS, the Top Safety Pick. And all three continue a trend of very safe cars having slightly below-par headlights, preventing them from earning the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating. Of these three cars, the Corolla Hatchback has the most impressive scores. It earned the highest "Good" rating in every single crash test, including the difficult small-overlap passenger-side collision. It also received the top score for access to LATCH anchors for child seats. The standard forward collision prevention technology also brought home the best score possible, stopping the car before a crash at speeds up to 25 mph. The headlights themselves weren't particularly bad either, earning the second-highest score of "Acceptable" with both the standard and optional LED headlights. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Both Volvos shared similar scores to the Corolla Hatchback, with "Good" ratings for all crash tests they participated in, and top rank for their standard forward collision technology. Both vehicles were not tested for the passenger-side small overlap collision, so there is no score in that area. Both also received the "Acceptable" rating for LATCH anchor access. In the headlight department, the XC90 earned "Acceptable" scores for both of its available headlights, and the S90 received an "Acceptable" for its optional lights, while the standard ones were rated as "Marginal."

2014 Toyota Tundra to debut at Chicago Auto Show

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The fullsize pickup market is dominated by trucks from Ford, General Motors and Ram, but this segment could get some hefty competition in coming years. We've already reported that Nissan is planning a redesign of its Titan truck for 2015, and now Toyota has announced that it will be revealing the 2014 Tundra next month at the Chicago Auto Show.
In the brief press release posted below, Toyota says that the 2014 Tundra will be "redesigned," but it's unclear as to whether this means we'll be seeing an all-new truck or just an extensive refresh. The current Tundra design has been around since 2007 and sales are hardly worrisome to the Big Three, so a new design would be a logical guess.
In any case, we only have to wait a couple more weeks for the new Tundra to debut on February 7, and we'll be on hand to bring you plenty of live coverage from the show.
