THIS TRUCK IS BEAUTIFUL! I have owned it for 6 years and it has run smoothly without issue for 100% of that time. During that time I have invested over $18,000 in interior and exterior restoration. I have had the truck completely stripped and repainted at Mark Miller Toyota in Salt Lake City (Where it lived for 4 years at my house in Park City). When Mark Miller was done with it I had brand new carpet and headliner put in and replaced the upholstery with gorgeous tan leather. I had them install heaters for the front two seats. I replaced the rear bumper (the front one was pristine) and polished the original rims. I then had a high end stereo system installed including power amp and sub-woofer. There was an after-market sunroof (moonroof) but I had them disconnect it and seal it up as I didn't want the potential headaches these sometimes bring. Has new tires with less than 400 miles on them! I get complements on this truck every time drive it! Which unfortunately is not very often at all, which is why I'm selling it. I've probably put about 2000 miles on it in 6 years, with most of those in Utah when it lived there. Other than replace the battery, the only non-cosmetic work I've had to do was replace brake pads, install a new automatic antenna, and have the front windows lubricated. The only issues I am aware of with the truck are the steering is a bit loose, the automatic door lock switch is reversed (hit up for down etc.), and I recently noticed a bit of moisture appearing on the front passagener-side column between the windshield and side windo, which may or may not mean the windshield needs to be re-sealed. The pictures I took with my iPhone really dont' do it justice. Runs great, looks amazing, this is what you're looking for, someone else's project....steps from completion.

2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.
Toyota struggling in Latin American market, attempting recovery
Fri, 30 Aug 2013With uncertainty in the US and Chinese markets, automakers are scrambling to rev up their efforts in what were traditionally secondary markets. Take Toyota's efforts in Latin America. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal highlights the Japanese brand's push in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Brazil, where it has expanded its operations and installed new executives with a greater range of powers, all in a bid to grab a bigger slice of the ever-growing South American pie.
South America is dominated by General Motors, Fiat and Volkswagen, which maintain a combined 60 percent of the market share - Toyota holds a mere 4.5 percent. The WSJ spoke with Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's boss in Latin America, who said, "We are playing catch up, but we're catching up fast. We now have the resources to give the region the attention it really needs and deserves."
That attention includes an all-new, locally produced small car called the Etios. As bewildering as it seems, Toyota wasn't competing in the low-cost economy car market in South America. With the Etios, which arrived in September of 2012, its sales in the first seven months of 2013 are up 75 percent.
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.
