2008 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab. 2wd. 72k Miles. Well Maintained. on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
I've owned this pickup since it was 5 months old and had 8K miles on it. I am an adult and I do/did not "drive it like I stole it".
Miles are going up, as it's my daily driver. I drive a convertible when it's nice out, so if the weather holds out, I'll likely be driving that. The oil changes (with receipts) have always been done at 4K mile intervals and with a synthetic blend. I take really good care of it and it has taken really good care of me. I'm just looking for something less "trucky" and more "mid-life crisisy". The truck has a DJM 3/4 lowering kit on it. I was told that it had no ground clearance problems, and in the 6 years I've owned it, I've found that to be true. As a matter of fact, it still has more ground clearance than my wife's Subaru Legacy. It's NEVER been an issue and looks 100% better than a stock truck. I get compliments on it, constantly. It has (tasteful) 20" wheels on it and comes with snow tires on 16" rims. Snow tires are a little worn, but might have another year on them. It has a class III hitch I put on it and flat-towed a VW Beetle from Lake Havasu to Spokane a few years back. It does not regularly tow or haul anything. I've included a picture of the engine for the hell of it. It's in there and has wires and hoses hooked to it, which is nice. I've never touched it other than oil changes. C/D and A/C were all I needed when I bought it and all I need now. Both work perfectly. It has a tilting steering column. It has a few small (SMALL) rock chips on the leading edge of the hood and one scratch by the gas door. I tried selling it locally a while ago, but was probably asking too much. I had a gentleman look at it and I went through all of the chips and things that I know of. He said I was "insane" and that the truck was the nicest he's looked at and would feel bad using it to work out of. |

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86
Sun, 10 Feb 2013Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.
Toyota's production fuel cell car to cost between $50-100k
Fri, 03 May 2013
While the cost of building a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle continues to go down over time, reports over the last few years have steadily maintained that the first Toyota hydrogen-powered vehicles for customers should ring up for around $50,000. Company officials cited this figure way back in 2010, and have reiterated it in subsequent years.
So, while a recent Automotive News report about the cost of Toyota's 2015 Hydrogen car doesn't offer up any new figures, it does offer an interesting pricing wrinkle. According to the report, the "cost factor" for the hydrogen vehicles will be in the $50k ballpark, meaning the retail price could be anywhere from there, up to as much as around $100,000.
