This is as close to mint as you can get. Pictures don't do this beauty justice. Clean, clean truck. ZERO rust ever!!! I purchased this truck from a local gentlemen who knew the original owner. Before me this truck spent roughly 28 out of every 30 days inside. Everything is clean on this truck, undercarriage, rockers inside and out, cab, box, bumpers, etc. Paint is bright [original owner waxed a lot] and shines. This is original miles, no resprays, no rebuilding. Heck you can read most all of the original chassis tags, part tags, etc.
Original owner owned truck until summer 2012. I bought is February 2013 from his neighbor. I have a book of receipts, maintenance stuff, etc. Truck came from dealer with the following custom options: 31x10.50 R15 Goodyear Wrangler RT/s tires [70% tread], Mickey Thompson Classic 2 rims with center caps, smoked glass headlights, sunroof, 6 speaker Boston Acoustics speaker system, Nakamichi [sic] head unit, Pioneer 6 disc CD changer under the seat with remote, Riccara hardwood steering wheel, ARE matching fiberglass locking cap, nice floor mats, etc. Truck came factory with manual shift 4x4, 3.0 v6 [16-19 MPG], 4 speed automatic, extended cab, cloth interior, and Toyota ruggedness!
Really, with the clean body, this truck should last for well over 200,000 miles. NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD! Extremely hard to find this truck anywhere, let alone in the North East.
Overall truck is 9.7 out of 10. Really doesn't show its age. To be fair, it does have a few flaws. The drivers seat bolster is ripped, see photo. The clean on the cap is peeling in a couple spots, the front bumper has 6 small pits in chrome, and the cigarette lighter doesn't work [I accidentally unplugged it and can't get my hand behind the housing to plug back in]. The front calipers and pads were replaced and the rotors need to be turned. Has a slight vibration when breaking that I didn't care about. Finally there is one small chip in the box paint on the front right top rail next to the cap. Really difficult to find flaws on this.
Really a great truck. For me I bought it for my business to commute for a job, but now I need another heavy duty plow truck. It is time to let it go. Truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
Scion pondering move upmarket?
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.
Toyota nudges US sales projections up to 2.25M
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.
