used car of the day 2010 toyota sequoia sr5

Bet you never thought you'd see a 2010 Toyota Sequoia that was rolling on 35s.

This lifted SR5 with four-wheel drive has a lot of miles on the clock -- almost 300,000 -- and has the battle scars to show for it. Toyota has replaced the transmission and the rear main seal has also been replaced.

There are plenty of off-road modifications here -- a 3-inch lift, 20-inch wheels, and 35-inch tires. There's LED lighting inside and out. There's a brush guard and a towing package.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

This joker is trying hard to recover the cost of all the repairs he put into it.

I shared a trail run with a lightly modded 1st gen Sequoia a few years back on a moderate offroad trail (including a deep, fast, upstream water crossing) and it hung just fine. But this particular example is the mall-iest of crawlers with a too high lift (over 2” on IFS is rarely necessary) and too short sidewalls (all that vehicle on not enough tire.)

Master Baiter Cells capable of accepting fast charge have been available for years in power tools. You sacrifice energy density in cell designs of that type.
2ACL 500s seem to be decent if one stays on top of maintenance. I test-drove some middle-mileage examples car-shopping for the girlfriend and they made a stronger impression upon me than I expected. Haven't driven an Abarth, but I suspect they were among the best cared for given their enthusiast bent.That said, I recall the Multiair Turbo has some wacky service intervals (i.e. 30k miles for spark plugs), the car as a whole imposes utility and component accessibility challenges as well as fuel economy that's worse than several next-size up cars with comparable power. Interesting, but a terrible value IMO.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh Just looking at the PLUMETING cost of used tesla's (28k for a 3P ex) I contest the ''gubberment'' argument. If anything the gubberment is his BEST AND ONLY ALLY because with the increasing emissions regulation a cheap tesla is a hell of a buy.but as previously stated .. were in a saturated market for EV's right now.
