Great Toyota Truck 4-banger w/ manual transmission for sale. This truck was a desert truck brought to the coast about one year ago, so rust free body. It is lots of fun around town and will go highway speeds with great gas mileage. The truck body is straight and sound, dent free, and the engine was replaced (or rebuilt) and has many new parts. Bought from previous owner who needed an automatic for his wife, now I need to upgrade for a larger vehicle. Runs, drives, and looks great considering its age. 

NO RESERVE!
(see similar from $2250-$4750)

Year: 1988
Model: short-bed pick-up; 4 cylinder
Transmission: manual, 2wd
Engine: the incredible 22r!
Tires: oversized with lots of tread

GOOD: replaced original bench seat with two racing bucket seats in great condition (bench seat also included); two new speakers and brand new stereo head unit with USB and AUX; clutch is smooth and never gives any problems; gears all work great; starts and runs every time (occasionally needs two or three early morning turns of the key after sitting); new tailgate net (metal gate and hardware included- gate came off later model but works); new rear taillights; brand new windshield wipers; NO leaks or oil burn; recent black bed liner; recent body spray gray (not perfect but looks good); recent interior black liner spray; new rubber mats. All around good reliable vehicle! These are undoubtedly the most reliable trucks ever built and will last forever (look online at reviews or just look around the streets and you'll see they are still everywhere because they run forever). Passed smog no problem 3 months ago- if sold to CA resident will come with new smog certificate. 

NOT AS GOOD: just light wear and tear considering a 25 year old truck. Odometer is incorrect, a previous owner replaced engine and/or engine rebuild- he reported around 145,000 miles on engine since then. This model has air-conditioner which turns on but needs repair. Not a power steering model, but good alignment. Random increases in temperature- only happens some days- I believe it needs either a new thermostat or coolant bleed as it has a new radiator (common issue) but I'm not a mechanic and don't know for sure. 

All around great condition old truck that runs great. Would love to keep as a second toy but have a motorcycle and just purchased new vehicle for commute to work. This toy must go. 

Also listed locally. 

Please email any questions. Sold "as is". Take to a local mechanic if you want professional review BEFORE buying only.
(Auto check rates low based on high mileage on body, even though lower mileage engine, and I don't know about the 'minor incident' as this truck has no evidence of any accident.)

Toyota reveals new TS040 Hybrid LMP1 [w/videos, poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro. Now it's Toyota's turn.
Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain.
The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road.

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.

2013 Toyota RAV4

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

A Nicer View Than Ever Of Middle Of The Road
When we had our first shot behind the wheel of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the overall judgment from Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski could be summed up in a sentence along the lines of, "Eh, not bad." The truth is that the compact crossover segment, now filled with not-so-compact offerings, is as cutthroat as any in the industry these days. When a heavyweight player like the RAV4 comes to market with a new generation, it is not at liberty to start from a clean sheet, lest it throw cold water on a vehicle that sells tens of thousands of units globally every month. Like De La Soul says, "Stakes is high."
If the choices in the marketplace were still largely limited to the Honda CR-V, as was the case when this market niche was green, the Toyota offering might actually seem like the exciting choice. But with new players offering better dynamic thrills (Mazda CX-5), cool turbo motors and fancy technology (Ford Escape), or even crunchy cred (Subaru Forester), the small crossover shopper is really spoiled for choice in 2013.
