    Selling my historically significant 2005 made famous by the tonneau cover repair thread!

    I've got all repair records. Hybrid battery replaced (just!) under warranty at Longo Toyota in Oct 2014 (124k mi). 12V also from Longo Jan 2017. No codes or operating issues. Combo meter replaced with a Texas Hybrid Batteries one 2017. Front brakes Apr 2013 (105k mi). Rear brakes Aug 2016 (145k mi).

    This is a blue package 6 with Bluetooth, nav, SKS. Tires are Michelin Defender XTs installed 2015 (at 130k mi).

    Also has a backup camera! Rare on '05... installed with the interface from avelectronics.com so that when in map mode and reverse, you see the backup camera image!

    Will come back with photos but start asking questions if you have any!

    Developed a hiking and mountain biking habit, and bought a vehicle suitable for off-pavement :D

    Garaged at night. Beginning to have some clear coat issues on top and hood. Tires look OK to me. They're supposed to be 90k tires (not that I've ever gotten the full tire mileage). Front brakes inspected OK at 166k, but are likely to need attention before too much longer.

    Photos!

    Also please note (can't edit original post anymore): some oil consumption past 150,000 miles, but not a lot. Have been adding 1/2 qt between changes.

    Me too! :)

    I have to say that the outset I was worried about that interior material. But it performed nicely!

    Same! I'm amazed how well I see this fabric hold up. The beige might show dirt, but it cleans up super nice, and it's soft and comfortable too!

    None of our other vehicles take 5W-30. I'll hazardous-waste it if new owner doesn't want it!
