Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series on 2040-cars
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
|
For sale is a 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser with all the bells & whistles. There is a reason why these trucks are the preferred vehicle for NATO forces worldwide. At 99,000 miles, it still looks, drives, and feels like a new vehicle. There is not a single squeak or rattle. I purchased this car from my father and hoped to have it for many, many years, but unfortunately it's about 1/2" taller than the frame of the garage door of the house I recently moved to. (Curb height is 74", FYI)
Land Cruisers are legendary because they are the perfect balance of power, comfort, and reliability. My wife describes this truck as "being able to go anywhere you want in your most comfortable piece of living room furniture." Land Cruiser owners tend to become very loyal. If you've driven one, then you understand why, and if you haven't, you owe it to yourself. This is my third Land Cruiser. I used to joke that my 1985 FJ60 would get me anywhere I wanted to go, just not very quickly. This 200 Series will get you anywhere you want to go, and it will get you there as quickly as you want. The 5.7L V8 is a beast. The front and rear brakes have all been serviced in 2013. I've had only one issue since I've owned this truck - a bad wheel bearing - and Toyota paid for 100% of the repair, even though it was outside of the warranty period. In fact, while the wheel bearing was being replaced, I also had the rear brakes serviced and an oil change, and Toyota picked up the tab for that too along with my rental car for no reason other than to make a customer happy. You will not find that kind of service with ANY other car company. You can read more about this truck here: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/30/2011-toyota-land-cruiser-review/ |

Eiji Toyoda dead at 100
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Toyota has had number of chiefs over its 76-year history, but none ever served as long as Eiji Toyoda. The younger cousin of the company's founder served as president of the automaker from 1967 to 1982 and as chairman of the Toyota Motor Corporation for another ten years following the unification of the manufacturing and sales divisions.
During his 25 years at the helm, Eiji Toyoda (pictured above in 1967) was credited with establishing the company's headquarters in Toyota City, spearheading the development of the Prius, expanding production overseas for the first time, launching the Lexus brand and turning Toyota from a minor player into one of the largest automakers in the world.
Even after his retirement in 1992, he remained an honorary chairman and close advisor to his successors, and chaired the company's museum. He died of heart failure, ending a 100-year life that started on September 12, 1913, before the company that bore his family's name (albeit slightly modified) had even started building automatic looms, let alone automobiles. We extend our condolences to the Toyoda family and our congratulations on an accomplished life.
Expedition drives from Russia to Canada over North Pole...
Tue, 21 May 2013No, a Ford Expedition did not drive from Russia to Canada via the North Pole, but that's exactly what a team of intrepid explorers accomplished recently. Using specially-modified buses with massive tires, the group slowly drove 2,485 miles in 70 days over drifting ice, occasionally using a pickaxe to clear a path and staying on guard for chasms that could open up and plunge the team into the frigid arctic waters. Average speeds were about 6 mph, "at the speed of a (farm) tractor." While the big tires technically allowed the buses to float if the need arose, the team preferred to stay out of the water to keep the suspension from getting coated in thick, hard ice. Falling in on foot would mean almost certain death.
According to Phys.org, the buses were powered by Toyota diesel engines, but were built with prototype parts from a previous driving expedition to the North Pole. Right now, the machines are parked in a garage in Canada's Resolute Bay while the the team rests up with family back home. They plan to continue their trek to back across the Bering Straight to Russia. If successful, the team may eventually offer a version of their buses for commercial sale.
Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.
