Okay so heres a real sweet opportunity for a buyer that knows what is here. This is a 1997 Toyota Tacoma Automatic with only 68k miles on the 2.4L I4 that is all original.
I'll tell the story of how this came about. Originally from upstate New York, it was an old mans truck that he bought brand new in 1997, It was driven once or twice a week when his daughter or son came to visit. The rest of the time the truck was garaged. So until 2010 this continued until he passed, his family then sold this tacoma to my father with 17k original miles on it. This is when the exhaust, brakes, tires, cap, rotor, wires, battery, shocks, struts, timing belt checked, timing tuned, tranny fluid changed, and a general tune up was performed by a professional shop. December 2011 my father sold me the truck and I had plugs, wires, cap, and rotor done again because we are particular with performance and maintenance.
The body and undercarriage has not been sprayed and has no rust at all. This isn't to say there aren't a amount of small scratches consistent with the age of this truck. The worst of the body is a dent in the rear right down by the bumper (pictured). Most of the scratches have been touched up. I try to describe everything 100% as not to mislead or misrepresent, more pictures upon request.
Oil has been changed religiously at least every three thousand miles along with the oil and air filter.
Most of the mileage since 2010 has been highway (from NY to TX thrice, NY to AZ thrice) plus various other road trips.
A new bolt-in bed liner was installed in 2010 and is in great shape.
The camper shell has had some interior work done to make camping very convenient, a three piece deck that pulls out at bed level and a tent conversion for the back (pictured). none of this gets in the way of original functionality and can be easily removed if desired.
There is 35% tint installed on the side windows and a 5" visor on the windshield.
A power inverter has been installed under the passenger side seat Husky 450 Watts 2 plugs.
The interior is very clean and never smoked in. (I worked at a carwash and detail shop, the the truck has been washed and cleaned inside every week since 2010) as well as a clay bar treatment, correction cream, and hand wax, 2 months ago.
The original steel wheels and metal hubcaps are also included with two studded snow tires mounted that only have one season on them (about 95% tread).
A/C blows freezing, heats great too.
Anyone who knows these trucks and the 2.4 I4 in them knows that with regular maintenance they will run like new until 300k easy.
The reason for my selling this truck is that I want an Small SUV or wagon (more seats)
I am open to very limited trades, strictly, 2004-2008 subaru forester xt, legacy gt wagon, outback gt wagon, under 125k, 5speed. that's it.
If you are interested please call me for more information or to come look at it. The truck is located in Flagstaff. My number is 518-956-4676 and the name is Dillon. Feel free to contact me for anything regarding the truck.

Subaru Indiana plant to stop building Toyota Camry
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.
Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case
Sat, 26 Oct 2013A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."
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.
