The 2027 Toyota Tundra is headed to Toyota of Orlando, and it’s bringing big changes to the table for the new model year. We’ll see a refreshed look, more off-road options, and an all-new Trailhunter package previously only see on the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner. If you like to take things off the pavement but need something spacious enough for school runs, the 2027 Toyota Tundra is the truck for you!

Toyota’s North American teams and the CALTY design research team in Michigan worked to develop this new Toyota truck. What we got from it? A new design with a sharper front end, a more modern appearance, and vibe that’s all work, all play. Here’s what you can expect from the 2027 Toyota Tundra at Toyota of Orlando!

Executive Summary

• The 2027 Toyota Tundra is getting a major refresh, bringing a sharper, more modern front end, updated grille options, integrated fog lights, and the same bold, planted stance we love.
• Trailhunter is joining the Tundra lineup as an available SR5 package, adding Old Man Emu suspension, all-terrain tires, underbody protection, CRAWL Control, Multi-Terrain Select, a locking rear differential, and more off-road goodies.
• The TRD Pro gets even more trail-ready with new adjustable FOX Q3S shocks, ISO-Dynamic front seats, red tow hooks, the new Honeycomb exterior color, and an available TRD Performance Package.
• Inside, Toyota is bringing the tech with a standard 14-inch touchscreen, next-generation Toyota Audio Multimedia, 5G connectivity, an improved Voice Assistant, Enhanced Digital Key, and a built-in Drive Recorder Dash Camera.
• Every 2027 Tundra will also come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, while seven available models and gas and hybrid powertrain options give Orlando truck shoppers plenty to choose from.

An All-New Trailhunter Package Is Up For Grabs

One of the biggest changes for the 2027 Toyota Tundra is the fact that you can now take it home with a Trailhunter package. Now, on the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner, the Trailhunter is its own model. For the 2027 Toyota Tundra, it’s an optional package on the SR5 model that includes:

• Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires
• Upgraded Old Man Emu suspension
• Front recovery hooks
• Additional underbody protection
• Multi-Terrain Select
• Crawl Control
• Locking rear differential
• Unique bronze-colored wheels
• Exclusive Trailhunter badging

The fact that it’s a package and not a model makes it more affordable and accessible for drivers who want the best of both worlds. These features prep this Orlando Toyota truck for demanding terrain and trails off the beaten path.

• Multi-Terrain Select can help you take on different off-road surfaces, and CRAWL Control manages your throttle and braking at low speeds so you can focus on steering.
• Locking rear differential helps you maintain traction when you need it most.
• Special bronze alloy wheels and exclusive Trailhunter badging help you stand out on and off the road.

If you love camping, overlanding, and exploring but don’t have time to build a rig from scratch, the Orlando Toyota Tundra Trailhunter package is for you.

A Refreshed, Modern Design Hits the Road in 2027

The last time the Orlando Toyota Tundra was redesigned was in 2022, so it’s due for a refresh. The 2027 Toyota Tundra was designed with strength, purpose, and capability in mind, and will sport updates including:

• A new front end that’s crisper and squarer – this lends to a vertically aligned appearance that gives strength and modernity to the overall style
• A wide, planted stance with a redesigned center lower bumper for major ruggedness
• Rectangular fog lights that are now integrated directly into the bumper
• A new grille with a sporty hexagonal theme, plus multiple grille options to choose from throughout the 2027 Toyota Tundra lineup

We were due for a refresh, and we wanted options… we got both with this year’s lineup.

New TRD Pro Upgrades on the 2027 Toyota Tundra

If you love off-roading, the 2027 Toyota Tundra’s updates will be pretty exciting to you. Here’s what you can expect in terms of performance on the trails this year:

• New Fox enhanced Q3S shocks designed specifically for the Tundra. They’re adjustable, and they’re designed for better feel, stability, and adjustability on tough terrain.
• Standard red tow hooks for a functional and visual upgrade, and a new TRD paint color called Honeycomb to stand out unmistakably
• ISO-Dynamic front seats for a more comfortable ride when you’re off the pavement
• A new TRD Performance Package, which gives drivers an easy way to enhance their Tundra’s performance with new hardware and tuning

• An Enhanced Digital key that allows you to access your key through the Toyota app and your smartphone’s native digital wallet (slide it in there next to your health insurance and concert tickets)

On top of that, the 2027 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX has a 2.4kW inverter. This means you have on-board electricity for things like tools, camping gear, and recreational equipment. Whether you’re camping in the woods or heading to a job site, you’re covered.

It can be overwhelming when you’re shopping for a new ride. What make and model will suit you best? How are you going to pay for it? What features do you need to make your drive time easy and efficient? One of the biggest questions we get is whether someone should buy a used car or a new car. There’s no real right answer; it depends on your personal preferences and your ideal driving situation. Toyota of Orlando is here to explain the pros and cons of both sides to help you make a more educated decision when it comes to buying a new ride.

Buying a new car

Buying a new car definitely has its perks. Here are some of the highlights you’ll get when you purchase new from our Orlando Toyota dealership:

• The car is brand-new, so it hasn’t had any previous owners (or any previous repairs or accident damage). You know exactly where it’s coming from.
• You get excellent warranties from the factory to cover any issues that the car might have – these typically span the first 2 years or 24,000 miles, bumper to bumper.
• It’s sometimes easier to get financing on a new car, which can affect how much your monthly payment is.
• Most makes offer no-cost maintenance for the first 2 years/24,000 miles or so for routine auto service, saving you a pretty penny when it comes to car care.

And here are some of the possible cons of buying new over used:

• New cars sometimes have more expensive price tags attached to them, which can affect how much you pay overall as well as your monthly payment.

Buying a used car

Buying a used car also has its benefits. Here are some of the things you can look forward to if you shop pre-owned:

• Price tags are typically lower on used vehicles, meaning you’ll pay less overall and on a monthly basis.
• The car may have a history, but you can always request both a CarFax report and service records to ensure that it’s accident-free and has been well cared for over the course of its life.
• If you buy from a dealer, you may have the option of a warranty for the vehicle. This is especially true if you shop cars like our Toyota Certified Used inventory, all of which come with exceptional warranties to give you peace of mind.
• A used vehicle may be cheaper to insure than a new vehicle.

And here are some of the perceived cons of choosing a preowned option over a brand-new car:

• Used cars do have a history, which makes some drivers nervous when it comes to reliability.
• You have to pay for maintenance and the older the car is, the more likely it is that you’ll have larger services or repairs coming up.

Still confused as to which option is best for you? Let Toyota of Orlando help. We have a great selection of both new and used cars for sale right now and you can get behind the wheel of any and all of them. We’re open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

 

Posted in Toyota of Orlando's Tips | No Comments »

Are you asking yourself “what car should I buy” and not able to come up with a clear answer? Our Toyota of Orlando team is here to help. Check out this complete guide to choosing the best Toyota – we’ll help you find the perfect car to match your life, your budget, your comfort level behind the wheel. And on top of that, we’ll give you test drive tips to cement your choice. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Outline your needs

Kick off your process by writing down how you’re going to use your new Toyota. This can help narrow our big lineup into an easy-to-digest handful of vehicles. Here are some main questions to start with:

• How many people do you carry most days, and do you need a 3rd row? (The 2026 Toyota Corolla and Camry fit 4–5, while the 2026 Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, and Sequoia offer 3 rows.)
• Do you prioritize fuel savings or horsepower? Hybrid Toyotas like the Camry, RAV4 Hybrid, and Prius focus on efficiency, while trucks like the Tacoma and Tundra focus on towing and hauling.
• Do you spend a lot of time on Orlando city streets only, or do you need something that can handle towing and off‑road?
  • If you’re mostly commuting around Orlando, the Camry, Corolla, Prius, and RAV4 are great options.
  • If you have a big family and like road trips, consider the RAV4, Highlander, Sienna, and Grand Highlander.
  • If you off-road or regularly tow and haul, consider the Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, or Sequoia.

• Also think about parking. If you routinely park in a tight parking garage or lot, compact models like the Corolla and Corolla Cross are perfect.

Make a short “must-have” list of all the qualities you need in your next ride, and then you can use it to cross-reference the Orlando Toyota possibilities.

Step 2: Pick your vehicle type

Now align your needs with the main Toyota categories to answer the “what car should I buy” conundrum. Here’s a quick guide to get you started from our expert team at Toyota of Orlando.

Sedans like the Corolla and Camry:

• Best for commuting, have good fuel economy, easier to park
• Both are available in hybrid
• Camry offers more space while Corolla is more compact

Compact SUVs/Crossovers like the RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Corolla Cross, and Crown Signia:

• Best for small families, road trips, and light outdoor use.
• More cargo space and higher seating than sedans, and the hybrid options save fuel.

3‑Row SUVs & Minivan like the Highlander, Grand Highlander, Sequoia, and Sienna:

• Best for larger families or frequent passengers.
• The Grand Highlander and Sequoia offer more space and power, while the Sienna is hybrid-only and very family-focused.

Trucks & Off‑road like the Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, and Land Cruiser:

• Best for towing boats/trailers, rough roads, and camping.
• The Tacoma and Tundra emphasize towing and payload, while the 4Runner and Land Cruiser are top picks for off‑road durability.

Try to narrow your options to one or two body styles (like compact SUV or sedan).

Step 3: Shortlist 2-3 Orlando Toyota models

Next, use our site to look at our model lineup. This will let you filter our inventory by size, price, and fuel efficiency. Use your “must haves” list and pick two to three models to consider.

Here are a few solid examples of good shortlists you could bring to Toyota of Orlando with you:

• Fuel-efficient commuter Toyota: Corolla Hybrid, Prius, Camry Hybrid.
• Small family in Florida: RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Highlander.
• Trailer or boat owner: Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia.

Check basic details for each, including:

• The seating and cargo volume.
• The EPA fuel economy (MPG).
• The towing and hauling capacity.
• The starting prices and their typical trim levels (LE, XLE, Limited, etc.).

This gives you a much more focused list to bring with you when you want to explore options – our Toyota of Orlando team can easily work from a list like this to find the perfect solution.

Step 4: Understand key safety and tech

Almost all of our Orlando Toyotas – the new ones – come with a standard safety suite called Toyota Safety Sense. Getting familiar with the features before your test drive can help you ask better questions AND see if they meet your daily drivers needs. Here are the main TSS features you’ll be able to explore:

• Pre‑Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Warns you of a possible forward crash and can help you brake, including for people and bikes.
• Lane Departure Alert / Lane Tracing Assist: Warns you and gently assists you if you drift. Also helps keep you centered in your lane.
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Keeps your car a set distance from the car ahead on the highway.
• Automatic High Beams and Road Sign Assist: Helps you with nighttime visibility and recognizing certain road signs.

You should also think about entertainment and convenience tech. Explore Toyota features like:

• Smartphone integration: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are widely available on our Orlando Toyotas, so decide if they’re important to you.
• Convenience: Consider features like power seats, heated seats, power liftgates, and sunroofs.
• Driver aid tech: Look at element like a blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and advanced parking sensors.

Circle which of these features are “must-have” vs “nice to have” before going in for your test drive at Toyota of Orlando.

Step 5: Set a realistic budget

Before visiting any dealer, have a price or monthly payment range in mind as a guide. Think about things like:

• The current starting MSRPs for your shortlisted models on our site
• If you’re paying cash, financing (loan), or leasing

You can also use our online payment calculator to explore your payments with different down payments and terms.

Step 6: Prepare for the dealership visit

A little prep makes your visit to us smoother and less stressful. Here are some tips to get you rolling:

• Gather important documents: You’ll likely need your driver’s license and proof of insurance.
• Call or schedule online: Ask to drive specific models and trims (for example, “RAV4 XLE and RAV4 Hybrid XLE”) when you give our Orlando Toyota sales team a ring.
• Pick the right time: Choose a daylight test drive time and, if possible, avoid rush hour so you’re not stressed.
• Make a simple checklist for when you get behind the wheel:
  • Space and comfort.
  • Visibility.
  • Ride quality and noise.
  • Controls, buttons, and tech ease of use.
  • Acceleration, braking, and steering feel.

Give our sales team a heads up that you’re comparing models and you want to test drive more than one to ensure you find the perfect fit.

 

Step 7: Inspect the Toyota before driving it

Before you pull away for your test drive, take 5–10 minutes to walk around and sit in the driver’s seat. Here’s what you should look for:

Outside the car:

• Walk around and look for obvious defects (like panel gaps, paint issues, tire condition), even on a new car. Better safe than sorry!
• Open the trunk or cargo area. Check the loading height and space for strollers, golf clubs, luggage, etc. – anything you know you’ll be loading in the back
• Open rear doors and sit in the backseat. This is your chance to check legroom, headroom, and how easy it is to get in and out.

Inside the car:

• Adjust your seat, the steering wheel, and the mirrors until you’re comfortable. make sure you can see clearly in all directions.
• Try the controls and buttons, including:
  • • The headlights, wipers, climate controls, parking brake, and shifter.
    • Test the infotainment system, pairing your phone if you can (at least do this before you leave the dealership).
• Look around for blind spots created by pillars or headrests.

If anything feels cramped or your visibility is poor, note it. This may not be the right Orlando Toyota for you!

Step 8: What to do during your test drive

Starting the car up and low‑speed driving

• Listen when you start the car: The engine should sound smooth and free of odd knocking or grinding noises.
• Check the smoothness pulling away from a stop.
• Test the brake response (not too grabby or too soft).
• Examine the steering effort at low speeds and how easy it is to park.

Orlando streets

• Drive through normal stop‑and‑go traffic, turns, and lane changes.
• Notice things like:
  • How the transmission shifts and how responsive the throttle feels.
  • How the suspension handles bumps, speed humps, and rough patches in the road.
  • Cabin noise from wind, tires, and traffic.

Also see how stable the car feels at speed and how much noise you hear.

Parking and tight maneuvering

• Practice a few parking situations, like parallel or backing into a spot.
• Evaluate the backup camera, parking sensors, and turning circle to ensure they’re easy to use.

You can also ask your Toyota of Orlando salesperson to demonstrate safety features that you’re unsure about.

Are you looking for a new ride that gives you the perks of electric driving without the EV range anxiety that comes with an all-electric car? We hear you – and the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is waiting for you at Toyota of Orlando. You’ll have EV abilities, hybrid performance to fall back on, and a sleek, modern design to cap it all off. Let’s jump into it!

Executive Summary

• The 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid gives you the best of both worlds with up to 44 miles of all-electric driving range and Toyota hybrid power ready to jump in when you need it.
• You’ll have four grades to choose from – SE, XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium – plus fresh updates like the new Inked exterior color and standard Dual-Zone HVAC.
• Efficiency is the name of the game, with up to an EPA-estimated 51 mpg combined in Hybrid Mode, but you’re not giving up the fun… all four grades can go from 0–60 mph in an EPA-estimated 6.6 seconds.
• Tech is everywhere, from available 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia and JBL Premium Audio to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus premium features like Advanced Park, a Digital Rearview Mirror, and an available solar roof.
• Every model also comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Safe Exit Alert to add extra confidence to your Orlando drives.

What’s New on the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid?

So what’s new this year? Well, the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is bringing the same performance and efficiency that made previous model years stand out. However, there are a few new updates available when you test drive at Toyota of Orlando. This year we love:

• The new Inked black exterior color
• Standard Dual-Zone HVAC
• Four available grades: SE, XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium
• 220 net-combined horsepower
• EPA-estimated 0–60 mph time of 6.6 seconds
• Up to an EPA-estimated 44 miles of all-electric driving range
• EPA-estimated 51 MPG combined in Hybrid Mode on the SE
• 13.6-kWh lithium-ion battery
• Available 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen
• Standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

This year’s exterior colors include Cutting Edge, Guardian Gray, Reservoir Blue, the new Inked, and Nightshade-exclusive Karashi. You can also opt for premium paint choices like Supersonic Red and Wind Chill Pearl. Regardless of which hue you settle on, they all perfectly complement the Prius Plug-In’s sleek, modern silhouette.

How Often Do You Need to Charge the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid?

One of the biggest perks of the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the fact that you can drive on EV power alone, but you also have the flexibility of a hybrid powertrain for longer drives.

This Orlando Toyota can handle shorter trips on only electric power – no need to use gas. And charging is easy; you can connect your ride to a standard household outlet using the dual-voltage charging cable that’s included. Charging takes around 11 hours with a standard 120V outlet, and if you use a level two charger, that time drops to around four hours.

But the best part? If you don’t have a change to charge up or know you’re going to be out on the road for a while, you have that renowned Toyota hybrid powertrain to fall back on. You can gas up and hit the road without worry.

Want the technical explanation? Here’s a breakdown of the three drive modes you’ll experience when you test drive the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid at Toyota of Orlando.

EV MODE: When your battery is charged up, this efficient ride can use battery power alone without needing help from the gas engine (similar to a true EV like the 2027 Toyota bZ).

AUTO EV/HV MODE: This is when the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid drives on battery power when able, but switches back over to hybrid mode when it needs a boost (like during high speed driving or climbing a steep hill).

HYBRID MODE: This is when your new Toyota hybrid automatically manages the switch between gasoline and electric power to make the most of your power and save gas.

At the end of the day, this setup means you don’t have to choose between electric power and hybrid versatility – you get both in this Orlando Toyota.

What to Expect from Toyota’s Hybrid System

The 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In uses Toyota’s fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System. Here’s how it works:

• It pairs a 2.0L inline four-cylinder gas engine with two motor-generators (MG1 and MG2) and a continuously variable transmission.
• The gas engine and MG2 work together to give you fun acceleration, while both MG1 and MG2 help to recharge the hybrid system’s lithium-ion battery and give you the best fuel efficiency possible.
• Toyota uses a compact, high-output, low-loss drive motor with a six-magnet and electromagnetic steel plate configuration. This means that when your 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is in Hybrid Mode, both the gas engine and battery can give you power during acceleration.
• This Orlando Toyota also supports its fuel efficiency with the electronically controlled brake system. This means the hydraulic braking and regenerative braking work together to stop your car AND send electrical energy back to the battery.

You can also customize your driving experience with three standard drive modes this year. Here’s the breakout:

• NORMAL Mode balances your fuel efficiency and acceleration for everyday driving.
• ECO Mode maximizes your hybrid efficiency by adjusting power output when you accelerate.
• SPORT Mode gives you a more responsive driving experience with an better acceleration and dynamic performance.

Tech has always been a part of the Prius’ identity, but never more so than in the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid. You can count on major tech inside and out, besides what’s going on under the hood. Here’s what you can expect:

• The SE, XSE, and Nightshade Edition come standard with an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen.
• The XSE Premium upgrades to a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen (and the larger display is also available on the XSE and Nightshade grades for an upgrade).
• Toyota Audio Multimedia supports Over-the-Air updates, which means you can get system updates without having to actually visit the dealership. (But feel free to swing by and say hi.)

If you haven’t heard of the iconic Toyota Prius by now, we don’t know here you’ve been for the past 26 years. That’s how long this reliable, efficient, stylish Toyota hybrid has been on the market, bringing its fuel economy, advanced tech, and unforgettable style to drivers all over the world.

But let’s focus on this year. The 2027 Toyota Prius has four grades up for grabs – the LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited. You can also choose between front-wheel drive and electronic on-demand all-wheel drive. One of the biggest upgrades this year is the dual-zone air conditioning – this keeps everyone comfortable inside the cabin with ease.

We also love the new exterior black color aptly dubbed Inked. Other colors include bright hues like Cutting Edge, Reservoir Blue, and Supersonic Red, to name a few. We expect to see the 2027 Toyota Prius at Toyota of Orlando this summer with a starting MSRP of $28,755… let’s get into the details of what you can expect when you get behind the wheel.

Executive Summary

• The 2027 Toyota Prius is back with four grades: LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited, plus your choice of front-wheel drive or electronic on-demand all-wheel drive.
• Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system brings the best of both worlds with up to 196 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 55 mpg combined, so you don’t have to sacrifice fun for fuel efficiency.

Get Top Efficiency with Toyota’s Fifth Generation Hybrid System

One of the biggest selling points of the 2027 Toyota Prius is its hybrid system.

Front-wheel drive models get 194 horsepower and get from 0-60 mph in just 7.2 seconds, and get up to 55 mpg combined.

All-wheel drive models have 196 horsepower and the same 0-60 mph time, and get up to 53 mpg combined. No matter which you choose, it’s a win.

You’ll also have regenerative braking on your side. The THS 5 uses the gas engine and electric motors to charge the lithium ion battery in the mix, and the brake system coordinates the regenerate and hydraulic braking to maximize your efficiency. You can even opt for EV mode – this means driving with only electric power over short distances at low speeds.

You’ll Love the Available Electronic On-Demand AWD

If you want a little extra traction when you cruise Orlando, you’ll definitely want an all-wheel drive model. It’s a compact system that helps reduce front-wheel slip while you’re accelerating, improve your cornering, and give you extra traction on slippery surfaces.

If you like vehicles that turn heads, it’s time to schedule your test drive. Because whether you like the Toyota Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, or Sequoia, there’s something for everyone and with the new Honeycomb and Hot Honey paint colors round it all out. Let’s get started – here’s your guide to the 2027 Toyota TRD Pro updates!

Executive Summary

• The 2027 Toyota TRD Pro lineup is coming in hot with two bold new paint colors: Honeycomb for the Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia, and Hot Honey for the 4Runner. They’re the latest additions to Toyota’s long-running tradition of exclusive TRD Pro colors, and we’re already obsessed.
• These new colors aren’t the only updates headed our way. The 2027 Toyota Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro are getting new vehicle-specific FOX QS3 shocks designed to improve ride quality, stability, and adjustability when you head off the pavement.
• Every 2027 Toyota TRD Pro is built for adventure with serious off-road equipment. Depending on the model, you can find features like FOX suspension, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, locking rear differentials, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and advanced four-wheel-drive systems.
• Select TRD Pro models will also bring back Toyota’s ISODynamic Performance Seats. They’re designed to reduce side-to-side body movement on rough terrain, helping you stay more comfortable when your trail ride gets a little bumpy.

Another Year of Exclusive TRD Pro Colors Headed Our Way

Toyota has built itself a reputation of assigning a signature TRD Pro paint color every year (we live for this), and they never fail to disappoint. Previous model years have included fan favorites like Lunar Rock, Solar Octane, Mudbath, Wave Maker, and more. And for 2027, Toyota’s building on that tradition with the all new Honeycomb and Hot Honey colors.

This year you can take home the 2027 Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia in the all-new Honeycomb color. On top of that, the 2027 Toyota 4Runner is rolling out in a slight variation called Hot Honey, giving you plenty of eye-catching options. If you’re ready to make a statement every time you pull into a parking lot or up to a trailhead, it’s time to head over to Toyota of Orlando to explore these all-new paint colors.

TRD Pro Paint Colors: Inspired by Adventure

Color has always been a key component in the TRD Pro lineup. Every exclusive shade is carefully crafted to evoke feelings of exploration, excitement, and the great outdoors. Honeycomb and Hot Honey continue in this vein, and they lean into warmth and energy. They also pair perfectly with TRD Pro features like:

• Bold TRD Pro grille
• Black exterior accents
• Functional skid plates
• Flared fenders
• Off-road tires
• Wide stance
• Signature red recovery hooks on applicable models

There’s no way around it – everyone is going to know it’s a TRD Pro.

The 2027 Toyota TRD Pro Has More Than Looks On Its Side

Yes, they look good (especially with those new paint colors up for grabs). However, the TRD Pro is about a lot more than just looks. You’ll also find some upgrades when it comes to off-road performance, including:

• The 2027 Toyota Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro will have new vehicle-specific FOX QS3shocks. They’re upgraded from the existing suspension and designed to deliver exceptional ride quality, better stability, and more adjustability for uneven terrain. Whether you’re hitting the grocery store or taking on tough mountain trails, this suspension meets you where you need it most.
• You’ll also get standard red tow hooks on the new Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro models – so it looks cool, but also serves a major purpose.

That’s not all, though. Every single 2027 Toyota TRD Pro is another example of Toyota’s off-road capabilities. Depending on which Orlando Toyota you take home, you can expect features like:

• FOX performance suspension
• Locking rear differential
• Multi-Terrain Select
• Crawl Control
• Multi-Terrain Monitor
• Underbody skid plates
• All-terrain tires
• TRD-tuned suspension
• High ground clearance
• Advanced four-wheel-drive systems

From muddy trails to sandy beaches and rugged mountain paths, the TRD Pro lineup has got your back.

The ISO Dynamic Performance Seats Are Back

If you’re the type of driver who wants a little extra comfort during off-road adventures, you’ll be happy to know that Toyota is going to include its ISODynamic Performance Seats on select TRD Pro models again this year. These seats are designed to stabilize you while you’re driving across rough terrain – they reduce side to side body movement. This means less fatigue on trail rides and better comfort when the off-roading gets technical.

Are you a fan of getting off the beaten path in your Toyota truck or SUV? Well, we’ve got good news for you. Toyota recently announced that they’ll be expanding their partnership with onX, one of the most popular digital navigation platforms out there. If you’re an overland, hiker, hunter, or fisher, we know you’ve heard of it. And this enhanced collaboration is way more than just simple navigation – it’s designed to make adventures easier than ever while also protecting trails and public lands for future generations to come.

Executive Summary

• Toyota and onX are expanding their partnership for 2026, giving outdoor enthusiasts even more tools to explore off-road trails, backcountry roads, camping spots, and public lands with confidence.
• Eligible buyers of select 2026 Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Sequoia, and Land Cruiser models will receive six months of complimentary onX Elite membership, including access to onX Offroad, Hunt, Backcountry, TroutRoutes Pro, and Fish.
• The partnership goes beyond navigation with an expanded Trail Revival Project focused on trail maintenance, restoration, sustainable recreation, and keeping public lands accessible for future generations.
• Toyota and onX are also launching the Trail Creators Program to promote responsible outdoor adventures, while new onX Offroad features will let users report trails that need maintenance or restoration.
• For Orlando Toyota drivers who love off-roading, overlanding, camping, hunting, fishing, or hiking, the partnership combines Toyota’s trail-ready capability with navigation tools designed specifically for adventures beyond the pavement.

Whether you’re heading into the mountains, exploring service roads, or just finding new camping spots around Orlando, onX is the tool you need. And its latest partnership with Toyota just fits thanks to vehicles like the Tacoma, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Tundra that are in our lineup. We’ve got the details – let’s get started.

What Is onX and Why Does It Matter?

Still not sure what onX is (or maybe you’ve never even heard of it)? It’s a digital mapping platform designed specifically for outdoor adventure. Traditional GPS apps focus on paved roads to get you from point A to point B, but onX specializes in detailed maps for remote areas (aka no pavement). Depending on what you’re doing, you can access:

• Off-road trails
• Backcountry roads
• Public and private land ownership information
• Camping locations
• Hunting maps
• Fishing access points
• Hiking trails
• Offline navigation

One of the biggest perks is that you can download maps to use before you leave your cell service area in Orlando. When you’re out in the woods with no signal, the maps still work – you can navigate with confidence and not worry about having no service or internet.

Toyota Owners Will Receive Complimentary onX Elite Access for 2026

So what does this expanded partnership mean for you? We’ve got big news: eligible owners of select 2026 Toyotas will get six months of complimentary onX Elite membership. To be eligible, you have to purchase a 2026:

• Toyota Tacoma
• Toyota Tundra
• Toyota 4Runner
• Toyota Sequoia
• Toyota Land Cruiser

This Elite membership gives you access across the onX ecosystem, which includes:

• onX Offroad
• onX Hunt
• onX Backcountry
• TroutRoutes Pro
• onX Fish

You’ll have premium navigation tools immediately after buying your new Orlando Toyota. This means you can take any adventure and make the most of it starting day one.

Why Toyota and onX Just Make Sense

Toyota is renowned for building off-road ready rides. The Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and 4Runner especially have become fan favorites with outdoor enthusiasts. This is because they’re durable, reliable, and pack off-road features like four-wheel drive and more. However, being capable is only one part of exploring the world outside Orlando.

You also need to know where to do and how to get back safely… and that’s where onX comes in. Instead of relying on generic standard mapping apps (that usually don’t show remote trails or forest roads), you have onX. With this app, you can find legal routes to travel, check land ownership boundaries for hunting and fishing and hiking, and plan your trips with the utmost confidence.

How onX Is Helping Protect Public Lands

One of the best parts of this partnership is the conservation aspect of it. Toyota and onX are officially expanding their Trail Revival Project. It’s an initiative focused on maintaining and restoring trails across America. Their goal? To keep public lands open, accessible, and able to be enjoyed by future generations.

Their partnership projects for the Trail Revival Project include:

• Trail maintenance
• Restoration efforts
• Sustainable recreation initiatives
• Volunteer opportunities
• Conservation projects

Instead of just encouraging people to explore more, both Toyota and onX are investing in preserving the places we love to explore.

The All-New Trail Creators Program

Toyota and onX are also launching the Trail Creators Program. This particular initiative is blending outdoor enthusiasts, content creators, and advocates for responsible adventure. Instead of showing off beautiful destinations, this group of people will demonstrate best outdoor practices like:

• Staying on designated trails
• Respecting wildlife
• Leaving no trace
• Protecting natural resources
• Encouraging ethical outdoor behavior

The idea? To inspire people to explore while simultaneously teaching them how to both help and preserve the environments they’re exploring.

Explore New Features for onX Offroad This Year

This exciting new expanded partnership also means you’ll have access to new features inside onX Offroad. One important update is that users can now report trails that need maintenance or restoration both here in Orlando and across America. This creates a feedback loop between adventurers and the organizations working tirelessly to maintain the trail systems.

When you combine this with offline navigation, detailed route info, and public land data, you get so much more than just navigation. It’s a tool to get where you’re going, but it’s also a way to play your part in trail management.

Who Benefits from this Toyota + onX Partnership?

Anyone who loves outdoor adventures will benefit from onX, but the partnership with Toyota really benefits anyone who loves overlanding and off-roading. If you’re into camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, or even just visiting national parks, reliable navigation and detailed trail information are a must.
