1989 Toyota Blizzard on 2040-cars
Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada
|
Toyota Blizzards have a strong following
world over, Australia, New Zealand, U.K, Russia. These under-rated units
have proven themselves as reliable transportation both on and off the
road.
The Blizzard gained a very strong following in Japan as an excellent off road vehicle due to it's nimble agility. It was designed to go head to head with the Suzuki Jimny and the bigger brother the Land Cruiser. The Blizzard competed excellently with it's short, narrow, wheel base. It is a very maneuverable unit with excellent approach, break over and departure angles. The light weight coupled with the reliable fuel efficient 2L-T engine is a winning combination. Add to that the 5 speed and you have a vehicle capable of in excess of 36 mpg. The 2.4L turbo diesel is in a class of it's own. Since it is moving less than 3000 lbs down the road and along the trail the 2L-T is a perfect choice for this truck. The final gear ratio of 3.7 is perfect for booting around town, playing off road and puttering down the highway. 39,000 Miles Original It has never seen a salt road yet. Undercarrige is amazing, 2LT (turbo charged 2.4L diesel) Very strong and reliable engine PROVEN 38 mpg at 90 km/h and 32 mpg at 110 k/h Fun to drive. It takes about 15 minutes to get accustomed to the stick. Actually pretty easy. All gears are fine. The odd time second gear needs a double clutch, but happens when the fluid is cold. Once it warms up it seems fine. Starts quick. Almost Mint Condition. A
few scratches and minor drivers side dent and cracked mirror housing.
Interior is excellent - Amazing with a typical tear on the lower driver
seat side 3 Way Console Adjustable Shock Valving Fog Lamps Tilt Meter, Clock, Tachometer, Turbo Indicator Complete Original Factory Tool Kit Clean Engine Bay 3.70 Differential Gears This is an Excellent Unit I realize for US Import it needs to be 25 years old. The is 45 days away from being so, however the manufacturing date is over 25 years. I'll hold it if purchaser wants. I might consider driving it to you local if it is reasonably close. I'd just fly home after the fact. I had to put in a bogus vin # As EBay would not accept the one I have |

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
Manga stylized Toyota Aygo takes on Godzilla
Thu, 13 Nov 2014Japan has given the world so much to enthuse over. We're not sure the Toyota Aygo is necessarily one of them as much as, say, the Scion FR-S or Lexus LFA (especially since it's actually made in Europe), but for many Nipponophiles, the centuries-old artistic discipline of Manga certainly is. And now the two have come together in this two-and-a-half-minute animated short.
In Toyota's own take on the classic narrative, an Aygo animated by celebrated artist Sonia Leong takes on Godzilla. As in, a giant lizard rampaging through a Japanese city, not the Nissan GT-R, against which the little Toyota would certainly stand even less of a chance by any metric other than affordability, fuel economy or ability to park in tight spots.
In any case, watch this Manga-fied video above, and feel free to read through the related press release below.
eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute
Mon, 05 Aug 2013With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.
