2002 Toyota Rav4 Base Sport Utility 4-door -- Ev on 2040-cars
Knightsen, California, United States
Up for sale is my first generation Toyota Rav4! Only a few left in the whole world! It is a 2002 with only 97850 miles on it. It currently gets about 57 miles in between charges. Which is still double the range of some other brand new EVs on the market today. The Rav4 charges with 240v charger that comes with it. It lives in California with my mother. She drives it 2-3 times a week to work (she is a school teacher) to keep the battery alive. I bought for myself but to the heath problems with my girlfriend, plans change. The rav4 would be considered excellent condition and other than one golf ball sized dent on the front driver side fender. Which can be removed using PDR Paintless Dent Removal costing around $50-100. I replaced the antenna in November. And tires and brakes seem to be in decent condition. I have put seat covers and cheap floor mats in the car to preserve its beauty while mom drives it. I was going to put a new battery pack in the car when the range got lower to the 25-30 mile range. Brand new the 2002 Rav4 EV got 100-120 mile range, which I think could be achieved using newer battery technology like optima batteries or rebuilding the original batteries. The cost would be around $5000. Which in my option is well worth it for clean, powerful, reliable transportation. Shipping can be arranged anywhere! As much as I do want to sell it I don't and I will never get the chance to own one again. Very sad

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S
Tue, 05 Mar 2013There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.
Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns
Sat, 03 May 2014One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.
