2001 Double Cab Sr5 4x4 Awd Automatic Transmission V-6 One Owner Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Hackettstown, New Jersey, United States
PLEASE WATCH THE COMPREHENSIVE WALKAROUND AND TEST DRIVE VIDEO! I am the original owner of this 2001Toyota Tacoma, double cab, SR5, V6 4 WD with an automatic transmission. It has 78,769 miles. The truck has never been hit. This truck has always been garaged, even at work. The oil and filter were changed when they replaced the frame. The truck has the following options: trailer tow package, aluminum extend-a-bed, over the rail bedliner, sliding rear window, aluminum alloy wheels, a/c, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, stereo w/cd player. I bought the truck in January of 2001 and drove it until June 2004 when I retired. It had just about 50,000 miles when I retired and since then I drove it approx. 3,900 miles a year since it now has 78,769 miles. I also have the original winder sticker, sales brochure and maintenance records. This truck is only for someone who understands the Toyota recall for rusty frames. Again, this truck has never been in an accident. This truck has a new frame, brake lines, leaf spring, lower control arms etc. Toyota replaced many more parts that are detailed in the bill from Toyota. The bill which I have, details every part that was replaced at their cost. The bill was $12,661.00, Toyota paid the entire bill. I'll explain how this came about. I received a recall notice in September, 2013 for the spare tire carrier. I made an appointment for October. When the dealership inspected the truck they told me that my truck qualified for the frame recall. It wasn't until January, 2014 that they did the job. It is very impressive to look under the truck and see all the brand new metal. At first I was worried about what kind of job they would do. A very good friend of mine who works for Toyota in Brooklyn, and is a mechanic who he himself replaces the frames, assures me that they replace so many of these frames that they have it down pat and rarely if ever is there a problem. My truck drives fine, no squeaks or rattled. Once I brought the truck home and parked it in the garage, I only drove it around my neighborhood on nice days to the keep the fluids moving. I didn't want to subject the new frame to the road salt. Since I don't drive the truck much, I always treated the gas with stabil at each fill up. I replaced the tires at 62,000 miles with the same tires since I got such good miles out the of the original ones. The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. The alloy wheels have some pitting that is common. In the first 3 years Toyota replaced the rear bumper twice, apparently there was some kind of plating defect, the current bumper is perfect. Nothing has ever broken on this truck, so other than normal maintenance, which was one either by Toyota or me, it has been trouble free. There isn't any rust on the body, there aren't any oil or fluid leaks at all. I did replace the front rotors, caliper and pads in 2009. There is nothing wrong or broken with this truck. As you know, these trucks are known as being bullet proof. It shifts fine, idles smoothly and the 4wd engages and works perfectly. The interior is pretty much in perfect condition. There aren't any rips, tears, stains etc. I have aftermarket floor mats on top of the factory carpeted ones. The exterior is almost perfect. The top of the drivers fender has a ding so small the camera won't pick it up as are some very minor surface scratches on the driver side rear quarter, they can probably be buffed out. When Toyota put the last bumper on they installed it about 1/8" too high and the bottom of the tailgate touched the black plastic on the top of the bumper and nicked the bottom of the tailgate. I trimmed off the part of the plastic that was touching and it has been fine for at least 10 years. I am selling my truck because I ordered a 2014 Silverado. Originally I was going to keep the Tacoma, however it doesn't make any sense to keep both. Whoever buys this truck will be getting an exceptionally clean, well maintained EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE vehicle that very rarely sat outside. Please contact me with any questions at 908-295-4066. |

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
2020 Toyota Yaris hatchback could return as a Mazda2 clone
Wed, Jan 30 2019Less than a week ago we got the news that Toyota killed the 2019 Yaris Liftback in the U.S., instead choosing to sell the remaining inventory from 2018. There should be plenty of stock left, too: Car and Driver reports that Toyota sold 1,940 of the tiny hatches last year. The automaker said it would have an announcement about the Yaris at this year's New York Auto Show in April, telling Automobile, " We're working on something new for MY2020." C/D thinks it already knows what's coming, writing, "We assume ... that the new Yaris hatchback ... will be a rebadged Mazda2, like the current Yaris sedan that Mazda builds for Toyota in Mexico." Toyota and Mazda formed a development- and technology-sharing partnership in 2015. As part of the collaboration, we got the Scion iA in 2016, based on the Mazda2 sedan. That four-door became the Toyota Yaris iA when the Scion brand got put in the ground, and then became just the Yaris for 2019. In spite of Americans' well-publicized aversion to sedans, the trunked Yaris sold 25,269 units last year. Meanwhile, the Yaris hatch, built at a Toyota factory in France, has carried on basically untouched since 2013 — with a four-speed automatic, even — helping to explain its slow take-rate. If the Yaris five-door moves to the Mazda2 platform, we expect it to follow the same formula as the sedan. That means a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder with 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque. That's the same output as the Toyota NR engine in the current hatch, but from a better, more modern engine. Transmission options would include a six-speed manual as standard on the L and LE trims. For 2019, Toyota added an XLE trim to the sedan that comes with a six-speed automatic. Assuming all comes to pass, the new Yaris five-door would be built at Mazda's Mexico plant alongside the sedan. But we'll have to wait until New York to know for sure. Related Video:
Toyota FT-86 Open Concept leaves us feeling flushed
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When last we checked in on our topless would-be hero, the Toyota FT-86 convertible had been reportedly placed on "indefinite hold." That was back in early October, not long after Toyota had trotted out the rear-wheel-drive canvasback to Scion dealers as a possible future product carrot if they decided not to turn in their franchises. And yet, we're here at the Tokyo Motor Show, where Toyota has taken the time to at least repaint the FT-86 Open Concept in "Flash Red," if not build a whole other car (the original Geneva showcar was white). It's enough to make our heads spin like a teenager on the verge of a breakup. Will they? Won't they?
At this point, we still don't know any more than you do - the last word we heard out of Toyota was not encouraging, although the story was that the program could still be fast-tracked if management had a change of heart. As the car has never been seen before in Japan, perhaps Toyota is merely extending its domestic audience a courtesy view before it lines this showcar in mothballs, or maybe they're still trying to make a decision on its fate and gauging public reaction on the homefront.
Interestingly, in a new story published today, Automotive News quotes Subaru brand boss Yasuyuki Yoshinaga downplaying the likelihood of a production model, saying flatly "We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen." The executive went on to note, "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change." Given that such a car would probably trade in rather small volumes, that sounds like a significant hurtle.
