This is a very nice, original FJ45 that is daily driven with 178K on the clock. I searched long and hard to find this truck, and I sincerely hope somebody that truly appreciates them wins the auction. Mechanically, it needs nothing that I`m aware of and I drive it regularly, sometimes daily. I will say that at one point last month after driving in downtown traffic for almost an hour of stop and go, I think I felt the clutch slipping in 3rd gear. I have driven it more than a few times since then, but have not noticed it. I did order a new clutch (stock) from Cruiser Corps. and it will go with the truck. If you're familiar with these, you know how difficult it is to find a left hand drive late model truck like this in the US that isn't rusty. My best guess is that this truck was rust proofed at the dealer when new, because the frame and floors are in excellent shape. The body has a few places here and there, but as far as FJs go, this truck is nice and is definitely not a "rust case" and never has been. The engine is strong, transmission (4-speed) is great but if you're looking to go to the drag strip you might want to consider another vehicle. The steering is tight, brakes are great and everything works as it should (even the dome light) The BFG all terrains are in great shape, with far more than 50% tread life.

This will be my second time in ten years selling a vehicle on Ebay, so if my ad/format reads goofy, my apologies. I will gladly accommodate shipping to any location you choose (on your dime) I doubt any sensible person would want to drive much more than a few hundred miles in this tank, but schedule permitting I will pick you up or meet you at true airport here in Atlanta.

This FJ was imported originally from Canada, but has been registered here in the south for many years and has current tag and registration. In Ga. they don't need a title on anything older than 1986 and will be sold with a bill of sale. If your state requires a title, let me know and I'll do my best to work out getting one for you.

Toyota wants 30 percent of China sales to be hybrids

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Two years ago, China set tough fuel economy standards for passenger cars, taking another step toward addressing its smog and pollution problems; average fuel consumption was mandated as 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers (about 34 miles per gallon) by this year and five liters per 100 km (47 mpg) by 2020. Toyota wants more of its fleet to help its numbers there, and is working to make 30 percent of its sales by 2020, according to a report in Japan's Nikkei. The Japanese carmaker sells 21 passenger cars and vans in China but only two of them are hybrids, the Prius and the Camry Hybrid (in the US Toyota sells 20 passenger vehicles in but seven of them are hybrids). It unveiled two more hybrids at the Shanghai Motor Show that will be built in China, the Corolla Hybrid (pictured) as part of its joint venture with FAW Group, and the Levin HEV as part of its joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC). There is also an electric vehicle on the way as part of the GAC partnership, to be sold under the China-only Lingzhi brand. It will still be a gigantic hurdle to make that 30-percent target even after doubling the hybrid line-up. Toyota sold 1.03 million vehicles in China in 2014, but has sold only 90,000 hybrids in total during the ten years the Prius has been on the market and five years of the Camry Hybrid.

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.

HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
