2001 Toyota Tacoma Xtra Cab 4wd ... With Rusted Frame on 2040-cars
Richmond, Indiana, United States
2001 Toyota Tacoma Xtra Cab 4WD 4Cyl 2.7 Engine (This truck has the noted frame rusted ... (see pics) ) Its a clean 4WD Truck ...and currently drives...but I hear noises from the rear bed that sound as if its moving around. I'd be afraid to drive it any distances with the frame the way it is. I guess it may go 20 miles...or 2000 miles like that...but I wouldn't recommend it. Engine is a 4 cylinder 2.7 with No strange sounds nor noises. Sounds just like my wifes 2003 model. (Except the muffler) It does have a Clear/Clean Title ...stating only "mileage exempt" ...the guy I bought it from said that goes on vehicles that have over 100,000 miles ... but Ive never heard of it before. I haven't driven it far since Ive had it. I'd be a bit leary to...But everything seems to work...ie the A/C, the 4WD, etc. It sounds a bit loud when you rev the engine...though the muffler has a hole in it I guess someone with welding experience might be able to reinforce the frame. But, not being from that line of work.. It's just a guess. I looked and you can still borrow about 8000.00 on this truck No warranty expressed nor implied. Or..I guess someone could just use it for parts...but that seems a shame. Because otherwise its a Great looking truck !! I would also consider upgrading the rims and tires to a full set of mounted and balanced Michelin 265/70/16 with very good tread ..Mounted on a very clean set of MB Razor Rims for an additional 350.00. See Pics above Thx for Looking!! Just listed this locally as well ... So I'll have to Reserve the ability to end auction early if ... someone shows up with the cash http://richmondin.craigslist.org/cto/4596005416.html ... |

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels. Scroll down to see more in an official video and to check out Toyota's official press release.
Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
