1990 Toyota 4runner Sr5 4wd Auto – Historic Classic Needs Work on 2040-cars
Suitland, Maryland, United States
Automatic transmission, 4WD option, V6 3VZE engine, no after-market
mods except rims 167,XXX Original Miles (11,XXX on rebuilt engine). (Yes, I still drive her around, too! Mileage
will change) Clean title in hand FENDER-BENDER VICTIM! There is some damage to the front (shown in pictures) that is not
minor, but not really major. Details below… I’m only selling this truck because I don’t really need her
anymore. I’ve had her for about 6 years,
always maintained and driven sanely. My
kid has gone from college dorm to apartment, so I have nothing to haul anymore (hallelujah!).
I’m severing my attachment for the sake
of practicality. The Good: ·
Green Paint still shines! ·
All-American steel rims still solid, with wheel
locks. ·
Goodyear Wrangler SRA deep-tread tires are very
meaty with only about 14kmi of use (Originally $900 for the set). ·
Rebuilt motor installed at 158k miles, runs
strong, synth-blend oil only (almost due for change). ·
Transmission shifts smooth, 4WD is strong and
sturdy. ·
There are no leaks anywhere! ·
Interior is great for its age. Nothing major
wrong with it, but I’ll list the small stuff with the bad… ·
If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, you’ll love the
accents! (If you’re not, they come off easy, and I’ll keep the flag!) ·
This truck is registered “Historic” in
Maryland. Cheaper tags, cheaper
insurance, no emissions testing, and no inspection! Should qualify for most states (check yours). Overall this is a GREAT 24 year-old truck that needs some TLC to keep
rolling another 100k miles! The Bad: ·
The exhaust needs to be replaced from the
catalytic converter to the tailpipe >$600 total. ·
The stabilizer bar is bent slightly. Costs about
the same to repair or replace the part >$100+ labor. ·
Interior:
Clock and cigarette lighter don’t work. Mechanic believes there’s a break in the line
somewhere because all the fuses are good. I’m not pulling the dash because I
never used either one, so…). There is a small
hole in the right backseat cushion.
Smaller than a nickel, probably from a cigarette. Been there since I bought it. The factory radio
works, but occasionally jumps stations for no reason to whatever you have on
Preset #4. The cassette does not work,
and 3 out of 6 factory speakers work. Power
windows and locks all work, except the rear window comes off track sometimes
when lowering. Always gets back on track
with a helping hand, and does not leak or cause other problems. ·
AC needs charge (I rarely used it), but it works. ·
Windshield wiper fluid tank is cracked, won’t
hold fluid. (I found one for $30, but forget to get it, haven’t looked again
since). Actually, it’s not so bad for a 24 year-old truck! I’d keep her, but my
wife is like… well, anyway… The Ugly: ·
The bumper assembly, grill and hood were damaged
in a fender-bender. Bumper and grill
have to be replaced, and costs vary $125+. The hood can be hammered down. Still
latches, just a bit bent (not crumpled).
One headlight bulb went out because the lens was cracked. I already have two new ones. I haven’t gotten any appraisal to fix this because I’m selling her
instead. But, I do drive this baby occasionally,
just to keep her active. She’s always
been great in bad weather. But, now she’s going to the highest bidder! AS-IS! I will show the vehicle locally in Clinton, Maryland (Prince George’s
County), BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. I am willing to deliver the vehicle within 50 miles of zip code 20735
ONLY IF PAID IN FULL! PAYPAL OR CASH
ONLY! Fake bidders WILL be
reported. |

Toyota U2 urban utility concept inspired by Maker Faire [w/video]
Tue, 09 Sep 2014There's a quiet revolution happening in US cities. People want to mix an urban lifestyle with a connection to nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The result of all of this is folks pursuing things as varied as urban farming, home brewing and the whole maker movement. Toyota thinks it has the perfect concept for these intrepid customers with its new Urban Utility concept that it is debuting during a panel discussion hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco and debuting publicly on September 20 at the World Maker Faire in New York City.
The Urban Utility concept can best be described as a modern take on the old panel van. Designers from Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California interviewed Maker Faire participants to find out what its users want from a novel vehicle like this. "Toyota saw an opportunity for a new approach to an urban vehicle based on increasing re-urbanization of our cities and urban drivers' desire for flexibility, fun and maneuverability," said Kevin Hunter president of Calty.
On the outside, the Urban Utility doesn't really scream for attention. It's meant to meet users "desire for greater utility but a smaller vehicle footprint," according to the release, but the shape is still very much a van. The designers do try to lend it some panache with the LED headlights up front and checker board side panels. It's really more about utility than looks, though, because the roof can roll back for taller loads, the rear glass retracts into the tailgate, and the whole rear can fold down as a ramp to load stuff more easily into the cabin. Toyota isn't talking about a powertrain yet but claims that the underbody is also especially durable for a long life in the big city.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
